Stop blaming mental illness. Here's why.
First there are differing definitions/views.
Let's stick with clinical & popular views.
Definitions of mental illness
Ø Some are legal
Ø Some are clinical
Ø Some are popular
When most people think of mental illness they think
of people who are out of touch w/reality & behaving bizarrly
That may include hallucinations, extreme paranoia,
lack of control of feelings & behavior, or dangerous
delusions all due to mental illness.
These states can occur because of substance abuse or some medical conditions -- including Parkinson's, dementia, brain tumors...

"Denying a woman an abortion creates economic hardship and insecurity which lasts
for years."
Read that again.
"Women turned away from getting an abortion are more likely to stay in contact with a
violent partner. They are also more likely to raise the resulting child alone."
Violence from partners decreased when women had an abortion but not when they were turned away.
If you aren't horrified...?
Are you horrified?
💔Are you as stunned as I am to find yourself STILL living in a world where women do not have the right to make all decisions about their own bodies and welfare?
💔STILL today, most leaders of most religions, businesses, companies, and most political bodies are MEN! Even though women are equally capable.
Please! Don't tell me that your church has a female leader. That is irrelevant.
💔Republican politicians are openly talking about limiting access to contraception.
It is 2022!
Republicans want women barefoot, pregnant, in the kitchen!?!
