The Only Moral Abortion is My Abortion by Joyce Arthur (joycearthur.com)

What's a women's community without a nod to Joyce Arthur and her wonderful piece The Only Moral Abortion is My Abortion? Truly a classic must-read for all people.

Regardless of sex or gender, or where one may fall in the debate around women's right to healthcare, we must all remain vigilant against the moral hazard of denying others access to healthcare (or anything else!) that we have found necessary and humane for ourselves.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read and respond! It sucks knowing how widespread our similarities here are, but definitely heartwarming to have solidarity and support through these types of forums ❤️ I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the community grow and helping give this support to more people, men and women alike! I love having a space for women, though. I know not all of us have a uterus to worry about pregnancy, but I think we can all relate to the issues surrounding healthcare.

Best of luck to you, too, makeitso:) I'm saving your comment to remind myself to check out Terri. I'm a student now majoring in psych, so the codependent labels and abandonment traumas are right up my alley to study. Sounds useful for all of us women to check out! I look forward to seeing you around, learning our boundaries and exploring our strengths:)
