I never imagined having to run an abortion underground railroad at this stage of my life, but I'm prepared to do it.

For us older women that have been through it, it’s heartbreaking. I’ve been active since the 70s with Planned Parenthood. Devoted a lot of time and energy so my daughters would know a more equal society. I’m feeling this hard. Give me today to grieve. But tomorrow we fight.

Hillary was right. Dems think they need to “fall in love” with their candidates. No, we just need to win!

President Hillary Clinton and she would have picked supreme and federal judges.

Elections matter.

I had a teenage friend who died from lack of safe abortion.

Her parents were very religious types.

She could not tell them and they would not have understood.

Those horrible days can't come back.

She just bleed out over night.

I know it sounds horrible but it was.

Her parents tried to hush it up but all the kids knew.

16 years old and had a scholarship already.

She would have went to a the University of Texas.

She would be my age now.

Had Hillary Clinton won in 2016 we would not be facing this crisis. God damn. Planned Parenthood was my only healthcare provider in my early 20's. Damn Trump. Voted against his ass twice and will do so again.

Before Roe, an underground clandestine abortion network. Started in Chicago in 1965. Women learned how to perform procedures themselves for thousands of friends and strangers.

Time to start up again?

In the theocratic states that will ban abortions, I predict many networks of concerned citizens will gain access to this medication.

If states that can not control meth and fentanyl think they can prevent commerce in this medication are delusional.

That does not mitigate this coming horrible setback for bodily autonomy and privacy rights. Abortion will be illegal in many states. It is likely that a network of supporters will emerge to transport women to other states, or provide access to a self-administered procedure for early-stage pregnancies.
