Happy Thanksgiving!
As is tradition for many on this very complicated holiday, I’m spending some time reflecting on the things I’m thankful for.
I’m thankful that I live in a society where I am trusted to make the right medical decisions for myself and my body. I’m glad those medical decisions are between myself and my doctor, not my husband, a priest, or a politician. I’m glad I am not treated as a living incubator, but have the right to choose if parenthood is right for me or not. I’m thankful that Roe v Wade is the settled law of the land.
I’m thankful that I have access to a court system that could grant me a no-fault divorce if needed, and that I wouldn’t be stuck in a damaging or dangerous relationship with no true independence. I’m thankful that no powerful representatives or culture warriors are openly working to take away that…
