#AbortionIsAHumanRight
Here is the original essay in English feministgiant.com/p/abortion-is-… #AbortionIsAHumanRight
I have had 2 abortions—one “illegal” and another “legal.” I use “-“ because the State—and the Supreme Court can fuck off with their opinions about what I can and can’t do with my uterus. That control belongs to me.

When fascists & theocrats tighten their grip on your body w:abortion bans, the path to freedom must be paved with profanity. Politeness is capitulation.

For as long as patriarchy shrouds abortion in silence, it stamps it with shame. Knowing that, I broke my silence so that I could break free of shame. 📷 @rerutled
It is incumbent on those of us who can, to talk. Not everyone can talk and survive.

It is important to share abortion stories that say simply: I did not want to be pregnant. In my case, 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/essay-the-se… #RoeVWade
Choosing to be childfree is surrounded with taboo and stigma. So I wanted to make sure my essay was available in both of my languages: English 👇🏽#MothersDay2022

It is imperative that we pay attention to what are known as rape exceptions to abortion bans. Reject a hierarchy around abortion. The right wing is unabashed in its insistence on controlling our bodies. We must be even more unabashed in our insistence on bodily autonomy #RoeVWade
We do not owe anyone an explanation or a reason for our abortion. Much like we insist on rejecting the “worthy victim” scenario of sexual assault, so too must we reject the “worthy recipient” of an abortion. #AbortionIsAHumanRight feministgiant.com/p/essay-the-se…
Abortion is a human right, not a bonus or a reward we must earn.
The fascist theocrats will not stop until they force us into carrying all pregnancies to term.
Fuck the patriarchy.
Fuck theocracy.
Fuck white supremacy.
Fuck the Supreme Court.

I've seen some folx claiming that opposing abortion bans as a #Jewish value is a lie and a leftist conspiracy, based on a reading of Genesis 9:7: Be fruitful and multiply. With thanks (as always) to @TheRaDR and @roripn and Rabbanit Leah Sarna, some reasons that is wrong. 1/
So, first-- there is the fact that while #Torah is our foundational text, it is not often the text on which we pasken (make halakhic decisions/decisions on #Jewish law). For that, we go to our interpretive texts. 2/
These are the texts like the #Mishnah, the #Talmud, and later commentators. And, here is a sampling of what they have to say. First from @ncjw: sefaria.org/sheets/234926?… 3/
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 had two abortions.

One in four pregnancies end in abortion. You know someone who has had an abortion. If you don’t know anyone, that is because the people you know who have had an abortion have not yet told you. feministgiant.com/p/essay-the-se… #RoeVWade #AbortionIsHealthcare #abortionstories
I was born in Egypt to a Muslim family and I know how rare it is for someone from my background to see themselves in abortion narratives. And because of that, I know how necessary it is for those of us who can share our stories to do so. It took me 25yrs. feministgiant.com/p/abortion-is-…
