'This shaming...is something that emerged over time and that has been used as a political wedge and sword against the lives of women and people who can become pregnant' michelebgoodwin OnTheIssuesPod
I could just barely articulate but it was so deep, and then, I got this … you know, out here in California, you’re in California as well, it’s like the wildfire, terrible, terrible, and there was some whiff…thank God it didn’t end up happening but that day it was oh there might be wildfires, dry and you need rain. I thought like you burn. You burn, mama. You fucking burn. You do not get to … you know, whether it’s capitalism, just taking, taking, taking or like Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Not to mention the horrific rate of maternal mortality that exists because you’d think at least if you’re coercing people to maintain pregnancies that you’d make sure that you keep them alive and you allow them to thrive, but we’re talking about a backdrop with one of the highest maternal mortality rates not only in the nation but in the world, and how does one make any sense of this except to say it doesn’t make sense and there’s no legitimacy behind this.
I was in a friend’s apartment in New York and showing her pictures of it, and then, she was like … this is my mother, first of her class in Harvard law school, powerful, powerful. Powerful. I remember her sitting and she’s like I had an abortion, and I said you know, Mama, I always suspected because what I got as a daughter, right, and this is not unusual with families is sort of this fog of a story or fog of confusion, and I did tell her about when I had an abortion at 21. She was great.
This is like basic public health when Nixon signed onto further legislation like Title X and so forth, but it’s interesting that Justice Blackmun canvassed history, and I think that that was, in a way, to show that look, nobody should feel stigma and shame right now because historically abortion wasn’t criminalized or made illegal in the United States.
