On Friday, June 24, the Supreme Court made a drastic decision affecting women of all ages across the United States. In a 213-page opinion, the court officially overturned Roe v. Wade, making abortion no longer a constitutional right. Women, transgender, and non-binary Americans of all ages are being catapulted 50 years back into the past,… Read on
The last year I have data for, in 2020, there were about 37,000 abortions in Georgia. That number of people are still going to need abortions; they are going to have to find care in whatever way is available, and those options will be fewer. Read on
Roe v. Wade: History Unravels [opinion + video]
Leave my body out of your politics. Leave my body out of your religion, out of your holiness. Leave it out of the same mouth you use to drink alcohol like water while claiming you are a servant of the lord. Leave my ovaries out of your politics, out of the reproductive parts not belonging to you.
Today, America suffers. Today, we lose 50 years of historical progress in women’s rights, a transgression — an aggression — against the safety of women. With this Supreme Court decision, we aren’t banning abortions; we’re banning safe abortions. We’re banning women from having a say in their bodies, from the right to exist with bodily autonomy.
The Court states their decision was a fundamental human right.

Let’s get real and stop sugar coating. The truth is, guns have more rights than women. Don’t believe it? Here’s proof: within the span of 24 hours, the United States Supreme Court took away human rights and granted rights to a piece of metal. On Thursday, June 23, the Supreme Court ruled that Americans have… Read on
I am beyond scared for the soon-to-be state of America. I was awoken Friday morning June 24, 2022, by my mother, who delivered news to me: After half a century, the monumental court case Roe v. Wade had been overturned, and I no longer have my right to an abortion protected. Read on
