Since nobody knows who the fuck I am lemme tell you something (could be TMI if lady topics make you uncomfortable) :
I went to the lady doctor today to get a simple check up bc my period has been acting up and to see if I can get on the pill. You could say it was a pretty responsible thing to do, since I hated these past months of no period (pregnancy scares aren't fun and not knowing why a natural, healthy process isn't happening plus having pretty embarrassing side effects from it feels pretty fucked)
Since I get pretty bad PMS I was reluctant to get on the pill, but my doctor reassured me that this particular pill would help me against those symptoms that I hate so much and said that it would even stabilize me.
Because I come from a catholic family that hates the fact that abortion is an option and is afraid of the pill as a contraceptive method.
I myself think that abortion should be legal, but I realize that having an abortion isn't exactly harmless, if not even traumatic. It's not like gettind rid of a cold or some parasite. So to those that do go through with it: You did the right thing and there's nobody that can tell you otherwise. Going through an abortion isn't easy and you have your reasons. I would've had one myself if I had been pregnant. I'm still a kid myself.
Anyways: A big part of me getting on the pill is for me to never be put that situation. I see it as taking responsibility, as taking care of myself.
My mother sees it as a way for me to be sexually promiscuous without the possibility of having consequences, putting myself at risk for STDs.
The hypocrisy and the way she can just twist my words and my actions makes me beyond frustrated. Having to go against my parents in order to ensure my safety just isn't right
