❤️❤️❤️❤️ In my line of work (postpartum care) I see one of the most direct consequences of lack of prenatal/abortion care. Mothers forced to have children they did not want, or were forced into them against their will. Mothers who love and want their children with all their heart, but whose babies have life ending conditions. I've held a mother as she wept over her baby girl (deceased) because "they said it was too late, that I'd have to wait and give birth". I've had mothers whose uterus was forever traumatized (or emergently removed) because of the damage childbirth did to them. Mothers who cant afford birth control, who don't have a choice, but who can't afford to feed more children either.

To say I am angry is an understatement. I am truly and deeply disgusted at the state of this country when it comes to women's health and wellbeing. We are not cattle to be bred and thrown to the slaughterhouse. We are living, breathing, beautiful beings who just want the respect and healthcare we deserve and desperately need.
