I had an abortion when i was 19 and I’ve never felt comfortable talking about it online. People have terrifying opinions on the topic and even now I’m scared to speak about it. We talk about destigmatizing a lot of things but we desperately need to destigmatize abortion.
With Roe V Wade being overturned we are putting so many young and poor people at risk. The foster-care system will flood even more, children will die of abuse & lack of resources, others will take their own lives. I can’t imagine the fear of an unwanted pregnancy with no way out.
@MichaelaOkla Yesterday I was the only US Senate candidate at the Emergency rally on #RoeVWade Today #MikePence arrives in SC for a fundraiser. He supports ending Roe, a death sentence for many women. Donate NOW to retire Tim Scott and send me to codify Roe. secure.actblue.com/donate/gocfbru…
@MichaelaOkla Please, you’re acting like there’s no other way to avoid having a baby. Be more responsible!
@MichaelaOkla We all have to find a way out. Now is the time to take a stand and clap back louder. #abortionrights #RoeVWade #RoeOverturned
@MichaelaOkla Wait wait wait. You're worried children might die if we don't kill them? Please please please reexamine your position on this. I know it's hard. But the pro-choice camp makes less sense every day. The lengths that must be gone to in order to maintain the facade is untenable.
@MichaelaOkla They haven’t overturned Roe v Wade And spreading this information they have based on a “initial draft” that might not even be real is dangerous. Yes we should be worried and coming together to protest but determining the fight is over is what they want.
@MichaelaOkla Condoms and birth control can be inexpensive. Abstinence is free.
@MichaelaOkla This is definitely what they want. The more children they can get into the 'system' the more humans they'll have to traffic. We keep forgetting the biggest business in this country is trafficking of drugs and humans. We keep putting our faith in the same systems that fuck us...
@MichaelaOkla @prettypeached I understand what you mean but using that as an argument for abortion makes it seem like you do not actually care for these foster kids but just as an excuse
@MichaelaOkla Many young women need to feel ok to discuss this. The stigma is wanted by those that oppose the right to choose. This isn't easy. Thank you for sharing.
