Okay sooooo I’m a woman in Texas and….yeah. Cool. Cool cool.
Im really sorry❤️
Y'all have to general strike or something
It's easy for me to say, being that I'm a man living in Illinois, but if you're a woman living in Texas that can get pregnant what justification do you have for not leaving? The state is maybe not literally trying to kill you, but something like an accidental conception resulting in an ectopic pregnancy is a literal death sentence in Texas.
And if I'm not mistaken they can even chase you down and jail you if you "decide" to leave the state to pursue an abortion in that situation.
It’s a valid question. I can only do my job here, it’s a very specialized area. Maybe one other place in the US, but I’d have to go overseas for anything else.
I am married and so it’s not just me moving. We are child free and I have talked to my doctor about getting those parts removed to avoid the issue altogether, but she says that the combination of my age plus my type of contraception (IUD), I should be okay.
And I have offers to take a holiday and “visit friends” in other states/countries if I should need to. I’m lucky in that respect.
I hate it here but given everything I just said, I feel okay with staying until I’m able to retire and gtfo. Until then, I’ll keep voting against these assholes and hoping that more and more folks will begin to do the same until they’re gone.
