F–k The Fourth? Why Women Are Protesting This New America.

Summer is in the air, and the Fourth of July is here. While this “Celebration Of America” holiday is usually reserved for barbecues, fireworks, and anything watermelon, women and some strong men are taking to the streets to protest the overturning of Roe Vs. Wade. F–k The Fourth symbolizes a women’s right to choose their healthcare decision when it comes to keeping or aborting a child from their own body.

Women in America are fed up. America is no longer supporting their freedom of choice. So why should women support an Independent America that seems selectively reserved to support men’s rights only? At what point is it just pure hypocrisy to eat a red, white, and blue frosted cupcake, turn up the grill, and don stars and stripes?

Perhaps this new America needs to learn to expect that women will vote, voice their anger, protest and take a knee at the misogynistic society we now find ourselves in. Maybe America needs a wake-up call from women and the strong men that support them. A Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe Vs. Wade was a final nail in the coffin for any hopes of an equal society for Women and Men. In addition to glass ceilings, sexist behavior, and other vulnerabilities as a functioning female in America, our reproductive rights are now at the mercy of the States and a bunch of old white men.

So America needs to accept that we will not allow it. We will not go quietly, and the last thing we will do is submit.

America will watch us wear green today, protest, prepare to vote, and donate to causes that support the Ban Off Our Bodies Movement. And if we feel like it, we may eat a cupcake, drink a beer and celebrate with our friends the strength that we have as we come together to fight this new America. Because an Independent culture no longer resides here. And Fourth of July is now F–cked.

What you can do. Wear green today in solidarity.

Women Are Empowered. And We Will Not Go Backwards.

 

 

 

Abortion: Why I am Pro-Choice

I am not FOR abortion.

I am not AGAINST abortion.

However, I do believe that every woman has the right to choose what to do with her own body. I believe in preventing fear of having an unwanted child.

I believe that it is your choice to have a baby, but you shouldn’t be forced into it and a child should never feel like a punishment for having sex.

Every child deserves to be brought into this world feeling wanted and loved and it should be against anyone’s morals to tell a woman “well that’s what you get for having sex.”

If you’re against abortion, simply don’t have one.

It is a personal decision, it shouldn’t be a legal debate.

Abortions aren’t for everyone…but neither are children.

Being pro-choice doesn’t mean I dislike children, or want an abortion for myself.

It means that regardless of my personal choices, I believe that all women should have the right to make their own choices about their reproductive health.

I believe that they should be able to seek any and all medical care needed in their lifetime, without judgement.

Yes, I am still a Christian.

Yes, I still love children.

Yes, I want my own family someday.

But no, I don’t think I should get to have an opinion about another woman’s body.

For the woman who can’t afford the child, for the fourteen year old that was raped, for the mom who is putting her own life at risk for a pregnancy, or for the woman who isn’t ready to be a mom for whatever reason at all.

YOU.

HAVE.

A.

CHOICE.
