We Are Here For You

I know a lot of you are worried, sad, and angry about what has just happened in American politics.

Maybe you yourself are in a bad place, and would face great hardship if you were to get pregnant right now. Maybe you fear the same for a friend, or a group of people you love, now that abortion is no longer a (legal) option in some states. But please know that whatever your situation, there is still hope. Planned Parenthood clinics will still be open to offer free/low-cost birth control, including long-acting implants and IUDs,* as well as other services. Even more importantly, many private charities and/or public programs in all states are hard at work addressing the tragedies like poverty, healthcare disparities, abuse, and assault that can make pregnancy so trying in the first place. Regardless of the legal status of abortion, they will stay open to serve those in need.

My friend has compiled a list of resources here. In addition, if you are in a crisis situation--pregnancy-related or not, in the U.S. or elsewhere, in a red or blue state--please reach out to me, and I can listen to you and help connect you with the support you need. You can DM me on Tumblr, and I am also on Discord at chromanebula#9540.

We are here for you. Now and always.

*(Just please be aware that if you have an IUD and know/suspect that you’re pregnant anyway, there’s a significant risk it is ectopic--especially if you have any of these warning signs--and you will need emergency medical treatment. Regular abortion procedures WILL NOT suffice, and may even make it worse.)

@authentic-autistic Tagging you because I can’t reblog that post. I don’t know whether it’s a glitch or what.

I just want to say, again, thank you for addressing my hypotheticals. I feel like I understand your stance better now.

Since it seems our discussion is over, I’ll go ahead and share my final thoughts:

It was interesting to me that, in response to a zygote/embryo/fetus being neglected until it died of natural causes, your response was simply “No [the zygote/embryo/fetus’ right to life wasn’t violated]. They technically died of natural causes caused by negligence.” Very straight forward, very matter of fact.

But when it was a newborn that was neglected until it died of natural causes, your response was much more emotional and bothered. There are multiple posts on your page now, here’s one example:

And even when I essentially quoted your answer back to you as my response, you said I “grossly misunderstood” you. I don’t know if that’s just because I didn’t answer the question the way you wanted me to, or because you didn’t want your “logic” applied that way.

Either way.

To me, your reaction shows you don’t regard them the same way. Because, if you did, I would think you’d respond to the zygote/embryo/fetus being neglected the same way you responded to the newborn being neglected.

That’s all. Again, thank you. Have a day.

The Need For Autistic and NeuroDivergent Authenticity

Authenticity is defined by Dictionary . com as "not false or copied, genuine, or real." - The Need For Autistic and NeuroDivergent Authenticity
