The few abortion narratives that are considered “acceptable” are often prefaced with trauma and pain—as if they were the price to be exacted for bodily autonomy.
It is important to share #abortionstories that say simply: I did not want to be pregnant. This is my story.

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 am glad I had my abortions. They gave me the freedom to live the life I have chosen. feministgiant.com/p/essay-the-se… #abortionstories #RoeVWad
Abortion bans are intent on punishing us for daring to take ownership of our bodies and our sexual desire outside of the norms. They aim to police our bodies and punish us for sex outside of marriage between a man and a woman. #abortionstories #RoeVWade
An unwanted pregnancy should not be considered punishment for a sex drive or a determination to have consensual sex outside of the rules of patriarchy. A hierarchy around abortion is hideous and must be rejected. Abortion is a human right that must be available to all who want it
Abortion is a human right that must be available to all who want it, regardless of how they became pregnant.
Recognizing that, we must demand nothing short of abortion on demand: safe and free and on demand. #abortionstories #RoeVWade

It is imperative that we pay attention to what are known as rape exceptions to abortion bans. In countries with prohibitive abortion laws, an exception is at times made in the case of a pregnancy that resulted from rape or incest.

Rape exceptions want to save women from enforced sex by saving them from enforced pregnancy.
Abortion bans want to punish women for desire and pleasure by forcing upon them pregnancy. #abortionstories #RoeVWade

Abortion bans are driven by zealots and puritans. We must not dance to their agenda but instead fuck to our heart’s content whomever (with their consent, obviously) and whenever, secure in the knowledge and the right to determine the consequences. #abortionstories #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.

Abortion is a human right, not a bonus or a reward we must earn.

Right wing zealots behind abortion bans are unabashed in their desire to control our bodies.
We must be more so. Claim the fire. Own the fire, Burn down the patriarchy. versobooks.com/blogs/3966-the…
