*now let me clear my throat! I hope ya don't mind, have mercy, babe, let me clear my throat!*
Legalize comprehensive gynecology again, folks. Take your religions and theology back to church and let doctors do the medical healthcare safely and legally.
I traveled 500 miles for my abortion. My BFF drove over 1000 miles for my abortion.
Quote: Texas exodus: 35,500 Texans traveled out of state for abortions last year
“Nobody does that for any other medical procedure.”

"After the Supreme Court’s June 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, several states like Texas passed abortion bans, leading many women to travel to other states for the procedure.
According to the study, the number of people who traveled for an abortion more than doubled in 2023 compared to 2019. Last year, 170,000 patients left their state for an abortion. Of those, 35,500 were Texans, compared to 2,400 in 2019. Most traveled across state lines to New Mexico, Oklahoma and Louisiana. But the study showed Texans also traveled to California for the procedure.
“We’re having people travel hundreds or thousands of miles for a procedure that typically takes less than 10 minutes and can be done in a doctor’s office setting,” Amy Hagstrom Miller, the founder of Whole Woman’s Health, told the New York Times for a report this week examining the data. “Nobody does that for any other medical procedure.”"
I did, but, I was 100% convinced that legal abortion (gynecology) would end my literal life. The Charleston WVa clinic was hostile and rude to me, and I couldn't go there. I was also alone. My BFF saved me and helped me get my period going again.
Comprehensive gynecology should be safe and legal and affordable (FREE) and accessible to all, locally. ALL aspects of OB/GYN work must be safe and legal for all doctors, all patients, and all potential gynecology patients.
*THE REASON WHY THE RIGHT TO SAFE LEGAL [abortion] is lost is because the stupid dumbheads in DC are doing it wrong!
STOP saying the A word. It got us to this point. DUH.
START saying "comprehensive gynecology" and "comprehensive ob/gyn medical care."
Words have meaning.
A Black woman taught me that Words Are Weapons.
Black women suffered and died for the medical gynecology that is practiced today.
ALL people who menstruate or who could menstruate deserve comprehensive medical gynecology and ob/gyn healthcare.
The USA has a terrible rate of maternal mortality, especially for Black women. Even Serena almost died from pregnancy.
The words you use now got you to this point. Is your language persuasive? Has it worked yet? Because this is how the existing language works and functions.
IS THIS how you like it? Same ol, same ol? Alllllllrightythen.
USE YOUR WORDS. << that's a thing
