Yesterday, a law banning abortions after 6 weeks of pregnancy went into effect in Texas after the Supreme Court took no action to stop it. 
Both #HandmaidsTale — based on the popular novel about a totalitarian society that treats women's bodies as reproductive vessels and property — and #Texas were trending online, leading many to express their opinions about the state of our nation and its treatment toward women.
Have burst into tears three times now on public transport not sending this tweet but #YouKnowMe and if you didn’t know that about me it because it’s the most personal, difficult and emotional decision I’ve ever made. #AbortionIsAWomansRight

I keep going back to Gloria:
I am here and able to mother my incredible daughter because of the health- and life-saving abortion I had when she was three years old. #YouKnowMe
The decision we had to make was so personal & difficult - the idea of having to *prove* to lawmakers that I would be in danger or sick enough to warrant an abortion is absolutely monstrous.
Again, think about these laws in terms of practical implementation. How sick does a woman need to be in order to have a legal abortion? How high would my blood pressure have to skyrocket? Would my liver have to fail before lawmakers would deem me "in danger"?
