Where I got my information from:
Abortion Bans: 1 2 3
⛧----------⛧
It was so relieving when you arrived at NRC after you got over the shock of being stuck in a place against your will. Most of the people there are respectful if not a bit rude and ignorant. It was even more amazing when you realized that here they let you have control of your body.
"This world is a lot nicer than mine." You'd casually say often.
"Obviously, this place is better. We have magic." Is what they used to say while smiling with pride, but now they give you concerned smile whenever you say things like that.
The housewarden's had decided to have a small friendly gathering, just so everyone could chat and fill each other in on things going on in their dorms.
So here they are sitting in the Ramshackle Lounge, scattered across the various seats. On the coffee table in the middle is a kettle of hot water, teacups and mugs and a tray of different tea bags, including, earl grey, peppermint, green, and chamomile.
"Prefect, we have some concerns." Riddle says, having just put an early grey tea bag into his mug of hot water.
"Oh really? What might those be?" You set your teacup down on its saucer.
"You always say that this world is a lot better than yours."
"And?"
"We want to know what the hell is so bad about your world." Leona pipes up, from his spot on the couch.
"We'd be here for days if I even tried to tell you half of it." You pause to take a sip of your tea.
"Some examples?" Azul says from the love seat next to Jade, both sipping on magnolia tea.
"Well there was a lot of talk of making more AI data centers and how much water they were using, there was also the pollution of water, women lost pretty much all their rights in a few countries..." You have your hand on your chin, thinking trying to remember the major issues.
All of their faces just have expressions of shock, horror, disgust and anger. Ruggie, Idia and Kalim's mouths are so open they could catch flies. Vil, Leona and Lilia look horrifically disgusted. Malleus, Jade, Rook look angry, though Jade and Rook are more like a creepy smile angry and Malleus is causing thunder and lightning outside.
But specifically in the country where I'm from, the government pretty much got rid of women's reproductive rights."
"Meaning?" Riddle raises a brow.
"Based on what state you lived in, you couldn't get an abortion or it was limited."
The silence that followed could have been cut with a knife. The lightening and thunder gets louder as rain starts to pour outside.
"I mean what would you expect from a country run by a convicted rapist." You smile, the smile is obviously fake and pained.
"...Your country was run by a criminal? And no one thought to make him step down?" Malleus sets down his teacup, sitting up rather straight as Lilia places a hand on his arm in hopes to calm him down.
"Well, somebody was elected for a little while so we had a small break from him, before he was elected again. He mentioned running for a third term though thankfully he can't based on some laws."
"I honestly don't know why people keep putting old men into positions of power..." You trail off.
"Anyway, I ended up doing a lot of research on reproductive care like IUDs, birth control, and I even looked into doctors who'd tie my tubes before I was like 25."
"Tying your tubes?" Kalim tilts his head, a curious expression on his face.
"It's medical term is tubal ligation, its where a doctor cuts or removes the fallopian tubes." An O shaped expression forms on his lips in understanding.
There's a silence that fills the room, as they process the information. A few of them are nodding.
"So they took that away?" Trey says from his seat on the floor next to the coffee table.
"Not completely, it was only fully banned in...13 states I believe, and the rest have limits except 9 states."
"And how many states are there?" Lilia raises his hand.
"50."
"Shouldn't there be exceptions?"
"Oh some states have exceptions for cases of rape and incest, as well as if the life or health of the patient is at risk, others don't like the state that I lived in."
"Some don't?"
"Yep, and as someone who's biggest fear is being raped that is extremely horrifying."
The rain is practically pounding on the windows, the old dorm's walls are creaking. Everyone looks furious, you could practically see the steam coming from Riddle's ears and the smoke coming from Malleus's nose. Idia is shaking in the corner though that is most likely from the weather outside.
"...Are you okay?" Jamil looks you up and down with concern.
"Physically, I'm great. Mentally? I'm on the verge of murder most days."
"Do you need some counseling?" Idia shuffles back
"Eh probably." You shrug picking your teacup back up and taking a sip.
After a few minutes of talking on a different subject to lighten the mood, the thunder and lightning dim down.
"Y'know we're going to be less inclined to let you return home if Crowely finds you a way back because of that, right?" Leona says, his tail lazily flicking.

I listened to Above the Neck, The Doll People and Us and Pigs by Sofia Isella while writing this. Can you tell?
