- People are impacted by generations of stigma and silence
- People don’t know how to stop the flood of new laws that force pregnancy regardless of the circumstances
- We have a history of treating women as less important and less valuable than men — to the point where preserving a grown woman’s life and integrity is less important than saving a fetus
- We do not have true separation of church and state in this country. Some religions directly or indirectly diminish women, bully people into silence on abortion, and teach that life begins at conception.
- End a pregnancy safely and affordably
- Avoid being harassed or bullied by a sexual partner or rapist
- Control their own bodies
Our best strategy is to break the stigma around abortion by having a conversation, or posting about it on social media. We must remind people that we’re thinking about victims in Texas and not ignoring their plight. Remember: We are not alone. There are many of us who think the Texas law is wrong and that it is unacceptable to leave people in Texas in such dire straights.
