There used to be a time when I was proud of my home state. I used to joke with people from out-of-state that they “better stop talkin’ smack about Texas, or else!!” but not anymore. Talk all the shit you want about that god-forsaken state because its governor, (a good majority of) its residents, and everything that state exemplifies is a waste of life and nothing to be proud of anymore. Anything horrible said about that fucking state is more than likely true at this point.

I’m a 25F and proudly pro-choice. I’m strictly child-free and taking away the choice to women for safe, legal abortions is such a huge step back it’s not even funny. As in, they’ve taken a century-worth of a step backwards. It’s upsetting to say the least and makes me sad, angry, horrified, and terrified for my future and women in Texas who no longer have that safe choice available to them.

I’m so glad I moved recently but I’m terrified my state will be next to take away women’s right to choose due to the HUGE religious influence here. Do I PLAN on getting an abortion anytime soon? No. Do I hope I ever have to get one? Also no; I do, however, want that choice to be available should I or any other woman, need one.

Fuck you, Gov. Abbott, fuck you, pro-life pieces of shit, and fuck you, Texas.

ETA: All of you idiots screaming “oh no, you can’t murder a baby now!” just to be immature can eat my shit. A fetus is not a living, breathing thing. It is not viable outside of the womb of the woman therefore is not a separate being. Y’all are so pro-life until the child needs healthcare, diapers, food, formula, etc.

ETA2: L-o-fucking-l at the person who reported me for suicide watch, I appreciate the thought but I’m fine, I promise :)

Last edit: I no longer wish to entertain the simple-minded folk who believe the lie and joke that a fetus is a living thing, or that this law restricting what women can do with their bodies is a good thing. Y’all are a part of the problem. To everyone who has given support, thank you, and I appreciate your support with this sensitive and outraging matter. Goodnight everyone (but not the pro-lifers. You fucks have a bad night.) Also thank you for all of the awards! I’ve never received any before tonight since I’m still fairly new to Reddit so it’s much appreciated.
