    I’m in SoCal as blue as it gets and I absolutely do not feel safe. I am so afraid of loosing the ACA (which is not actually affordable) but the pre existing conditions issue would be prohibitive for me going forward. Terrified the reproductive rights problems could come for us. What if I needed to relocate due to high cost of living, I am nearly 50 and could not imagine being forced into a full term pregnancy. I have adult children!!! Option B being permanent sterilization, I don’t want to be forced into mutilating my body to prevent a pregnancy. I am officially into my doomsday phase of grief for today! 😣

      I completely relate and understand. We shouldn’t be forced to make decisions about our bodies because of politics. I have a 14 year old daughter. I’m having to debate if I should put her on a 10 yr IUD. It also scares me to think that she won’t have insurance in 4 years. I’m thinking of you and all women. I’m scared for all of us but I know we at least we will always have each other.
