Woman Holding A Balance @autumnrhythm30 - Tumblr Blog

Roe v. Wade was just struck down by the Supreme Court, meaning that abortion is about to become illegal in at least half the U.S.

(June 24th 2022)

26/50 U.S. states will ban abortion as soon as possible. These are the states with the highest number of people of color and the lowest average incomes.

We should treat every young man who wants to buy a gun like every woman who wants to get an abortion - mandatory 48 hour waiting period, parental permission, a note from his doctor proving he understands what he's about to do, a video he has to watch about the effects of gun violence, and a mandatory invasive ultrasound procedure. Let's close down all but one gun shop in every state and make him travel hundreds of miles, take time off work, and stay overnight in a strange town to get a gun. Make him walk through a gauntlet of people holding photos of loved ones who were shot to death, with people shouting at him that he's a murderer, begging him not to buy a gun.

It make more sense to do this with young men and guns than with women and healthcare, right? I mean, no woman getting an abortion has killed a room full of people in seconds.

Where is the right to privacy? Why do only men have a right to privacy?

There’s nothing scarier than wondering how you’re gonna feed your baby. Especially when you’ve already failed at supplying milk because your body doesn’t make enough.

There needs to be a provision in the ruling. If you ban abortion then federal funds need to be upped to take care of these mothers. These babies. Shit, take care of the formula shortage first.

Note, I am finding these threads on the twitter feeds of ICU nurses who are now dreading the horrors that Roe falling will bring to their hospitals. This, on top of the horrors that they’ve seen and continue to see because of the pandemic. They were already exhausted and hanging by a thread.

They’ve found the cause of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Babies who die of SIDS have a significantly lower level of an enzyme, the purpose of which is to rouse the baby from sleep if necessary (such as the baby stops breathing). This is extremely huge science and medicine news. There is a biological reason. It’s not random.

I don’t think it’s THE cause, but it certainly explains some. We need to be vigilant and practice safe sleep still. Don’t let your guard down just yet. Safe sleep practices matter.
