A personal thing
TW: Miscarriage, Politics, Abortion
I haven't discussed this with many people, and I never got the chance to announce it. So whoever has me on multiple platforms, please keep this here to tumblr.
Today was the final appointment to determine the viablity of my pregnancy. We found out ironically on April 1st of this year. It was unplanned, but welcomed and wanted.
Today I found out my body reabsorbed the embryo weeks ago. Im supposed to be at 12 weeks, but never made it past 6 weeks. For my own safety and comfort, I will be proceeding with termination via a pill. The alternate route is either a D&C, which I do not feel necessary with only a gestational sac and yolk, or waiting up to 6 more weeks to naturally miscarry.
I'm not sharing this for people to pity me, or for attention. I'm sharing this because it directly applies to current political issues. If I was in a different state, this procedure and situation would be highly illegal. This child was welcomed, and wanted, and ready to be provided for. I still would be punished by law for this.
This is why we must fight these laws. These things happen naturally, and women should not be attacked for this. We already suffer enough, having to deal with these losses, to be punished ontop of it is beyond ridiculous. I'm so glad I am somewhere I can do this safely, for my health and the health of any future children that may come along. But that doesn't mean I should stop fighting for other womens rights. Everyone deserves the right for humane treatment and control of their bodies.
Keep fighting for womens rights. Keep fighting for control over our own bodies. Stay strong through our losses.
Feel free to share my story or add your own. But, no matter what, stay strong. We will get through this, together.
