I wrote a lot of this post LAST YEAR in September 2021 at the beginning of this steady decline of human rights, but added some additional thoughts based on the recent events to round out the post. I’ll highlight when those kick in.

I don’t even know where to begin with how infuriating this ruling out of Texas is and the subsequent exclamations about the need to “protect innocent lives.”

Abortion is something that is such an uncomfortable subject to breach because there are so many tender feelings wrapped around what it means to get one, think about one, need one, have access to one, the aftermath, the list goes on. It’s an incredibly personal decision that has been politicized and turned into a mechanism for this extremely weird moral olympics where the winner is no one. As someone who can bear children, seeing the way this subject has been discussed and who’s loudest has always made me angry. Why? So glad you asked…
