Gotta say; of all the things that shook my core this week, Amy Coney Barrett’s cold-blooded calculations about how convenient it would be to cast off a child born via uninvited trauma after nine months of anxiety and psychic horror was provably the most disturbing. Who is she???
I’ve given birth to 3 children; one conceived while I was on birth control. And the story of each pregnancy is an emotional and physical journey. That a woman — a mother — could think the easy way out is to carry and bear a child and just drop it off at a firehouse is horrifying.
And an adoptive mother at that! Does she think her children’s birth mothers gave them up without emotional expense? I honestly can’t get my mind around it. Religious extremism is a hell of a drug, and not one I want deciding the rule of law in my country. wsj.com/articles/amy-c…
I’m just horrified by how little women are valued in this country; especially women of color and poor women of all races; it’s something we keep being reminded of again and again and again…
And “probably” not “provably.” This Twitter machine needs an edit function.
