I can't think of a greater injustice in my lifetime than the overturning of Roe V Wade. I am ashamed of my country. I'm terrified that the dissenting judges are right, and our rights being revoked won't stop at Roe V Wade. I honestly don't know what to do about this.
I realize not everyone reading this may know about Roe V Wade. For the uninitiated, it was the previous court ruling that codified in law the right for people to get abortions. Without Roe V Wade, dozens of states are making abortion illegal, which affects millions of women, non-binary people, and trans men. I'm disgusted by the court's decision, and am truly at a loss for words.
And to anyone who is able to get pregnant currently living in a republican-ran state, for the love of God, get out of there as soon as you can. I'll add on this post a few safe states you can flee to, which includes my home of Maryland.
1) Alaska
2) California
3) Colorado
4) Conneticut
5) Delaware
6) District of Columbia (DC)
7) Hawaii
8) Illinois
9) Indiana
10) Iowa
11) Kansas
12 )Maine
13) Maryland
14) Massachusett
15) Minnesota
16) Montana
17) Nebraska
18) Nevada
19) New Hampshire
20) New Jersey
21) New Mexico
22) New York
23) Oregon
24) Pennsylvania
25) Rhode Island
26) Vermont
27) Verginia
28) Washington
Not all of these states have full protections of abortion (I'll define as either abortion throughout the entire pregnancy or up to viability), but all of the above states currently have legal protection for abortion at least for a significant amount of time, for now.
Be safe out there, I love all of you.
