My daughter is 7. I understand your feelings. I’m so terrified for her. Roe v wade today, but what about tomorrow? Banning contraception? This is what I’m trying to explain to DH but I think he thinks I’m being too dramatic. But he’s a guy, he doesn’t understand. These fuckers have been trying to push anyone who isn’t a white male back to second class citizens who have no say. And it’s terrifying. Thomas has already said contraception AND Obergerfell are on the table. So no you are in no way being 'dramatic' THIS IS EXACTLY why I spent days after the 2016 election rage crying

I’m in TX. I go to my gyno in August and will absolutely be asking about permanent options. But I’m so heartbroken for my daughter. She’s 8 so it’s not a discussion for today, but the talks we will have to have because she doesn’t have a voice in her healthcare. Man it’s hitting me hard. My daughter is 7. I understand your feelings. I’m so terrified for her. Roe v wade today, but what about tomorrow? Banning contraception? Same. I have 3 girls - only 7yo and nearly 6yo twins. I’m tearing up just thinking about what life could look like for them in the future.

I so badly want to leave and give them a chance at a decent future with choices, but it's not an option right now. I fucking hate this so damned much.

Are there protests at the supreme court yet? Don't let those mother fuckers out. They deserve to feel the wrath. Yes. There are Senators and Reps marching to the SC right now.

These are the trigger laws states: WI has three cities with PP abortion clinics and I live in one of them. They announced earlier this week that the 25th would be the last day they would be providing abortion services. I'm fucking devestated. I'm so sorry. It is devastating.

MI has Whitmer so we have that going for us....for now. I'm sorry to say but if Michigan has old laws on the books that prohibit abortion and it's unclear on the legality, there is a very distinct possibility that providers will not risk doing abortions until it winds it way through the courts. Whitmer may be able to veto new laws but she can't compel a Republican legislature to make a new law that fixes the old one. So there will be legal battles and we've seen in other states that while that happens, abortions are not readily available. Don't be sorry to give bad news. It's already as bad as it can get now. Until they overturn Obergefell v. Hodges

We need to push Congress to codify abortion rights now. That's basically our next step.

As someone living removed from it all, this year has really affected my idea of what it means to be American and my nationalism. I’m just really heartbroken.

I will be having a completely different sex talk with DD and DS now. And I will absolutely be letting their friends (both boys and girls) know that if they need birth control and their parents aren't open to help I will.

So we are just supposed to like work and go about our business when the government has now told us that we aren’t even allowed or capable of making our own medical decisions? Cool. Very cool. Right? Sorry, I can't do my job right now. I'm mourning the death of a dream about how this country could/should be. My team at work is 5 women. We got on our morning huddle today and just raged. We all were so fucking depressed. I told them to do what they needed to do today and do all the self care.

It will absolutely be the next thing

We're seeing my parents this weekend and then not again for weeks otherwise I'd cancel. If either of them says one word DS and I are leaving immediately. That or I'll lose my tongue and tell them I had an abortion eight years ago and watch my dad have a stroke.

She knows why and replied, “I understand”. Because I cannot.

It will absolutely be the next thing The Bridge Trolls statement this morning was Roe was wrongly decided.
And yes Idaho will be one of the first states to make contraception illegal or hard to obtain. I'm sitting here asking myself if I need to move. Planned Parenthood has already started on opening a clinic right across the border in Oregon at least in SW of the state. I dont know what is going to happen in Eastern
