Dark States for Abortion masterpost

Resources for women who are low-income and don’t have access to flights/hotels. If you’re in a dark state, here are the closest clinics to you based on driving distance and the appropriate funding resources to contact for each one. I’ve also included tentative price ranges when I can so you can know what to expect somewhat for budgeting reasons.

Arizona

Utah

Texas

Oklahoma

Mississippi

Alabama

Kentucky

Wisconsin

Things to keep in mind when scheduling:

Ask your clinic if they’re apart of any membership organizations or if they’ve recently been certified or inspected. I did not include any clinics on these lists who are not up to date with the latest patient care and certified to be in good medical standing.

I did not include Planned Parenthood clinics as a) their funding is notoriously difficult to access and thus appointments are not feasible for low-income women, and b) their clinics are often over-booked with long waiting periods. The clinics listed here are independent with (hopefully) shorter waiting times for now.

Telemedicine (having the abortion pill shipped to you) is NOT something legal experts recommend if you are in a dark state as it creates a record of your abortion. Most, if not all, certified and safe telemedicine providers will not ship to banned states or patients with an ID from a banned state.

Contact the clinic about their specific policies if you are a minor, if you require extra sedation, if you don’t have an escort for a surgical procedure, if you’ve had prior c-sections, if you have low iron or any other medical issues, or if you don’t have a valid ID. It’s better to contact the clinic beforehand so they can be prepared and so you don’t waste your money if they’re not able to take you- they should have a referral for you if this is the case.

There’s many more states I need to add, but this is what I have time for right now. Laws are constantly changing and any of this info could be out of date by the time you see this. None of this is legal or medical advice, just a gathering of publicly available information to make it easier for women seeking legal abortion care.

I think some people forget that the lifetime appointment of supreme court judges is a rule humans invented, not something decreed by a wizard or something

It gives me so much hope that radical feminism is so spread out across the world (and that for many countries, radical feminism is the 'default' kind of feminism).

On my dash I have radfems from the Caribbean, from the USA, from Romania, Spain, Japan, The Netherlands (where I am from as well), I used to follow a radfem from Nigeria (I think she got termed), I saw an Alaskan native radfem in the reblogs somewhere once.. and all my love and support goes out to the feminist movement in South Korea!

It gives me hope :)

[shes-unforgettable]

There was a survey on radblr in 2020 with over 3,000 participants and turned out that apparently we span 80 countries

Plus that survey had the bias of coming from someone in the US (me) and being posted in English, and it still collected data around the world!

Happy Pride Month!! Or as I like to think of it, the month for me to watch every gay period piece I can get my hands on 🤗

[springdragonfly15-deactivated20]

Ooh, do you have any recommendations?

[user87262893]

Yes!!

Ones I've watched this month.

The Girl King - A true story. A portrait of the brilliant, extravagant Kristina of Sweden, queen from age six, who fights the conservative forces that are against her ideas to modernise Sweden and who have no tolerance for her awakening sexuality.

The World To Come - Historical fiction. Feminist. Somewhere along the mid-19th century American East Coast frontier, two farmers' wives find themselves irrevocably drawn to each other.

Colette - My new favorite. A true story. After moving to Paris, author Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette agrees to ghostwrite a semi-autobiographical novel for her husband. Its success soon inspires her to fight for creative ownership and overcome the societal constraints of the early 20th century...including her preference for women.

Disobedience - Not a period piece, but has the feel of one by the setting or an Orthodox Jewish community. New York photographer Ronit Krushka flies to London after learning about the death of her estranged father. Ronit is returning to the same Orthodox Jewish community that shunned her decades earlier for her childhood attraction to Esti, a female friend. Their fortuitous and happy reunion soon reignites their burning passion as the two women explore boundaries of faith and sexuality.

-

Ones I've seen historically (lol) and loved.

Carol - Therese Belivet (Rooney Mara) spots the beautiful, elegant Carol (Cate Blanchett) perusing the doll displays in a 1950s Manhattan department store. The two women develop a fast bond that becomes a love with complicated consequences.

Handmaiden - With help from an orphaned pickpocket (Kim Tae-ri), a Korean con man (Ha Jung-woo) devises an elaborate plot to seduce and bilk a Japanese woman (Kim Min-hee) out of her inheritance.

Portrait of a Lady on Fire - France, 1770. Marianne, a painter, is commissioned to do the wedding portrait of Héloïse, a young woman who has just left the convent. Héloïse is a reluctant bride to be and Marianne must paint her without her knowing. She observes her by day, to paint her secretly.

Gentleman Jack - A true story. 1832, West Yorkshire, England, landowner Anne Lister is determined to save her faded ancestral home, Shibden Hall, even if it means bucking society's expectations. A part of Lister's plan to help her family is to marry well - But the charismatic, single-minded Lister has no intention of marrying a man.

-

Others to consider that were a bit slow for me!

Ammonite - Acclaimed paleontologist Mary Anning works alone selling common fossils to tourists to support her ailing mother, but a chance job offer changes her life when a visitor hires her to care for his wife.

Vita & Virginia - Virginia Woolf meets fellow author Vita Sackville-West in London in the 1920s. Despite both women being married, they embark on a love affair that later inspires one of Virginia's most famous novels, Orlando.

i think i’ve said this before but there are hundreds of men who truly belive rape is worse when it happens to them

[puttingherinhistory]

On average rapists who target boys and men are given tougher sentences than rapists who target girls and women. I’d say it’s more than just hundreds if systematically rapists are punished more severely if they target boys and men, considering most judges giving these tougher sentences for anyone who targets boys and men but a more lenient sentence if they target girls and women are men themselves.

[thetoiletwater]

Anyone can reject you for any reason het TIMs and TIFs are such babies. They're always so surprised that ssa people don't want to date them.

[takeachillquill]

People just want abuse victims that are soft and kind and gentle, the kind of victims who validate their beliefs that “everything happens for a reason”. It doesn’t occur to these people that abuse actually damages people, that it could turn victims bitter and resentful rather than into poster-children for resilience and inner-strength. Victims don’t just exist to pay homage to your worldview that “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” as if abuse could ever be a positive or an experience to be grateful for. 

[lesbianrey]

someone describing their own rape or assault, even if you personally believe it to be untrue, should never be a source of comedy. let’s just start there with the bar considering it’s on the ground

sorry but i’ve decided i’m not going to shut up about the implications of the depp vs heard spectacle. it’s genuinely frightening how this is radicalizing people into thinking the legal system is FAVORED on the side of women naming their abusers and rapists when that could not be further from the truth. i’ve seen more incel propaganda repeated word for word in the last few weeks than i’ve seen in years. please PLEASE use your brains. this is bigger than stanning a single celebrity and hoping they ‘win’. Me Too, despite being localized around abuse in hollywood, had a measurable impact on how victims were treated outside of that sphere of power. this case and how people are reacting to it online will also have an impact. it’s just all so incredibly irresponsible.
