The End of Roe v Wade

Hi friends.

Today, the news of the Supreme Court’s decision to end constitutionally protected access to abortion by overturning Roe v. Wade.

I am gutted. Ever since learning the news of Grace’s diagnosis and having my abortion later in pregnancy, and being subjected to the ill-fitting, draconian laws, I have wanted to make the experience for other pregnant people better. Fairer. Less judgmental.

This is a massive blow to the rights and dignity of pregnant people everywhere, and the consequences are truly devastating, especially to minorities. As usual, they will bear the biggest brunt of this.

For now: I grieve. With many of you.

Tomorrow: we rise and fight, in solidarity and strength, building something far better and more equitable than what we had before. We are each other’s path forward.
