You've probably heard people across America debate abortion laws—but have you heard the viewpoint of a 16-year-old facing a potential future without the protections of Roe v. Wade?
I was raised by a single mother who worked tirelessly to provide for us. She taught me to fight for what I believe in and to always stand up to injustice. Because of her, I continue to fight for reproductive rights.
Even though I was judged and belittled when I first called myself a feminist, I didn’t listen when I was told to “stop talking” or to “wait until I grow up” to start asking questions. Instead I took their sexist ideology and made a name for myself. I became a volunteer at an early age and am now a team leader for our community outreach and mobilization program at Planned Parenthood.Abortion is essential healthcare and should not be denied to anyone.
To be clear, S.B. 8 will not stop people from having abortions, it will just make it harder and potentially less safe. As a teenager, I should not have to be afraid of what is going to happen next for my body, what laws are going to be passed or when this war on women will erupt into something even more dangerous. Our rights should not be up for debate, especially by politicians who prioritize their religious beliefs over other people’s humanity. I’ve been told by many people that “God will find me” or they will “pray for me.” I don’t want your God or your prayers—I want my rights back.
What is right for you, may not be right for me. What is right for me, may not be right for you. But what is NOT right for either of us is being stripped of the freedom to choose what is right for ourselves.
