It is #InternationalSafeAbortionDay.
I have had 2 abortions. I was not raped. I was not sick. The pregnancies did not threaten my life. I did not already have children. I just did not want to be pregnant. feministgiant.com/p/abortion-is-…

When abortion is “illegal,” it does not make it rare nor eradicate it. It makes it dangerous and often deadly for the poorest and most vulnerable people who can get pregnant.
Abortion must be safe and accessible to all.

For as long as patriarchy can shroud abortion with silence, it will continue to stamp it in shame.
So I broke my silence to break free of shame. #InternationalSafeAbortionDay

In Iran, women are fighting against theocrats who enforce hijab by burning shit down, including their hijab.
In the U.S., what are the women fighting against theocrats who enforce abortion bans doing?
It is #InternationalSafeAbortionDay. Where is your feminist revolution?

It’s imperative to understand that the theocrats who look like you and those who don’t both follow the same rule book: control desire and control our bodies. More simply: Control.
Enforced hijab.
Enforced pregnancy.

The patriarchy atop theocracy melange of Iran’s “morality police” is easier to see because it is so visibly expressed in enforced hijab.
But what is the enforced pregnancy of the Christian zealots in the U.S. but a melange of patriarchy built atop theocracy right here?

September 28 is #SafeAbortionDay. Last year, for that day and in solidarity with the right to safe and accessible abortion for all, I finally wrote about my "illegal" abortion in Egypt in 1996 and my "legal" abortion in the U.S. in 2000

I use inverted commas because I reject the State’s attempt to control my uterus. I reject its power to declare what is “legal” or “illegal” when it comes to my abortions. The State can fuck off with its opinions about what I can/can’t do with my uterus. That control belongs to me
I was not raped. I was not sick. The pregnancies did not threaten my life. I did not already have children. I just did not want to be pregnant. I did not want to have a child.
I am glad I had my abortions. They gave me the freedom to live the life I have chosen.

After my first abortion 25yrs ago, I couldn't talk to anyone about it. Instead, I would endlessly search for stories on abortion, to nurture my need for support and community. If that is you today on #InternationalSafeAbortionDay, I hope my essay helps you. Love and solidarity.
Here I am finally sharing for my younger self who had no one to talk to about her abortions; for anyone who recognizes that their abortion is considered especially shameful or outrageous because it does not follow the few acceptable abortion narratives. feministgiant.com/p/abortion-is-…
The personal is political, of course. Where I come from, the personal is more dangerous than the political.
I am from a country w/ the greatest number of women & girls in the world whose genitals have been cut in the name of controlling female sexuality refworld.org/pdfid/5a17eee4…

Sept. 28 is #InternationalSafeAbortionDay. Abortion should be safe every day. In 1996, I had an "illegal" abortion in Egypt. I was lucky.
I was lucky because when I found out I was pregnant, my boyfriend’s cousin recommended an OB/GYN doctor in Cairo who performed abortions in his clinic. I was lucky because I could afford the procedure. feministgiant.com/p/abortion-is-… #InternationalSafeAbortionDay
In 2000, I had a "legal" abortion in Seattle in the US. Again, I was lucky. I did not have to drive for miles to access abortion care. I did not have to take time off that I could not afford from work or find overnight accommodations because there was no clinic in my town.
🚨 Did you know 45% of all abortions globally are unsafe due to a lack of access?

🚨 Women in America are facing an ‘all-out assault’ on abortion rights.
⭕️ In Texas, a near-total ban has been imposed - the strictest in the U.S.

Twenty-five years ago I had an “illegal” abortion in Egypt and four years later I had a “legal” abortion in the United States. I use inverted commas because I reject the State’s attempt to control my uterus. #AbortionIsNormal #InternationalSafeAbortionDay
I reject the State's power to declare what's “legal” or “illegal” when it comes to my abortions. The State can fuck off with its opinions about what I can & can’t do with my uterus. That control belongs to me #AbortionIsNormal #InternationalSafeAbortionDay

I was not raped. I was not sick. The pregnancies did not threaten my life. I did not already have children. I just did not want to be pregnant. I did not want to have a child. And so I had two abortions.
