Posted @withrepost • @jeffreypauldore I don’t often recommend things. But if you, like I did, thought the world was burning, I’d suggest watching Knock Down the House for these inspiring people:

#PaulaJeanSwearengin
#CoriBush

There is hope. More of this please.

Posted @withrepost • @starcollector_ Dr. Savita Halappanavar was a 31-year-old woman living in Galway. She and her husband were happily expecting the birth of their first child when, 17 weeks into her pregnancy, Savita was rushed to the emergency room with serious back pain. Doctors told her she was miscarrying. They told her there was no way to save the pregnancy. But they also told her that "Ireland is a Catholic country" so as long as the fetus still had a heartbeat they couldn't intervene without risking being arrested and prosecuted.
So Savita lay in the hospital for days- bleeding, writhing in pain, and developing a septic infection in her uterus. By the time the fetal heartbeat finally stopped and doctors were allowed to proceed, Savita's infection had gotten so bad that there was no saving her. Savita died in that hospital.
A woman is left dead and a man is left a widower. This is the reality of anti-abortion law. Not that it should matter, but it's worth noting these were people who WANTED to be pregnant. Who, if things had gone differently, could have mourned and grieved and processed and tried again to have a child and lived as a happy family. All this pain and death because the law told doctors to give no regard to a woman's health and safety. How is this "pro-life"? My friends, I know abortion rights can be a difficult conversation to have. But make no mistake- this is the reality of anti-choice law. In no uncertain terms: If you restrict access to abortion then WOMEN WILL DIE.
Women who are desperate to not be pregnant will die, and women like Savita who were overjoyed to be pregnant will die.
On this Mother's Day I think of my own amazing mom who has fought so hard for rights that were denied to women like Savita. I think of all the people who have had to make the decision whether or not to terminate a pregnancy for their own emotional, mental, and physical health. I think of all the amazing mothers I know who got to be mothers by their own informed and enthusiastic choice to do so. And I think of all the women's voices silenced too soon because the people in charge couldn't see their humanity, their worth, and their right to choose.
