I'm so scared about the Roe vs. Wade decision. I have had to make my own choices in life and my life would be very different otherwise. I want everyone to have a choice in their own bodies. Their own life. My state of Maryland is fine and there is no one else to vote for. What am I supposed to do. How can I not be scared

@blueflovver I am tempted more and more each day here to move to a different country at this point. America feels scary.

I'm in WI, it's horrible what's going on... I've already had a lot of anxiety around potentially getting pregnant, now i feel like throwing up thinking about it. I need to move to a more liberal state i guess.

Illinois State here: I'm a working momma who's got a 5 year old daughter and I've had anxiety diagnosed with this pregnancy. I was scared my first time around because I was so young when I had her (21). She's the first time I got asked if I wanted an abortion at 17 weeks. We said no and now We really want a second baby. I've got anxiety and Princess Personality which triggers meltdowns. Financial and sleep problems too. It is possible to choose when to have a baby. My Primary Doctor was also able to put me on a mood pill which mostly helps the meltdowns.
My anxiety has been the absolute worst it’s ever been since the decision. I live in ga- and while it’s not a trigger state we have a heartbeat bill which will go into affect in about a month. I have pcos- if I ever tried to get pregnant I will have misscarriages- doctors will be hesitant to provide care for a miscarriage- this is so scary
I'm scared too. I'm a trans man and if I were to be in a situation where I had to go through with a pregnancy, I have no idea how I'd handle that. My dysphoria would probably push me over the edge. I wish things weren't going backwards. I'm so scared and have been getting super angry at this country over and over
I ran out of my hormone regulation medication. And have never been with a boy
It's ok to be scared just don't let it take over your life. There are alot of things that you can do to help. Speak out about Roe v Wade. Educate people on the fact that it's about more than just abortion. Donate to funds that help with travel to safe states. Those are just a few examples. There will be even more opportunities that come about in the next few weeks. Most of all if the talk around this decision makes your fear or anxiety worse, stay off of the internet for a few days and remember to take time for self care.
@JesseC yeah talking on here helps. I've been keeping busy
@Chesbro99 I have been feeling so angry about this decision. I'm looking for ways to help myself. I live in Mississippi and the governor is so excited that his law helped overturn it. I may actually participate in protest. I'm 43 and I have never went that far before.

Now, I may not be a female. But I feel like the government is taking over too much. I have a bunch of friends who are concerned about this too. I think the whole thing is a bunch of bull and government drama. I agree it with your statement saying everyone should be in control of theirselves.

@KatGPT thank you for supporting us
@Chesbro99 you are welcome. <3
I’m scared too. Especially since I’m on medications that I can’t take if I were to get pregnant. I don’t know if I could survive without them so getting pregnant could be horrible. and I also have permanent nerve damage and ptsd from my first pregnancy (which was conceived the non consensual way) which has made me never want to have another kid that way. Definitely just hard to know that my options are gone or likely leaving soon.
I live in indiana... Indiana is a VERY conservative state. Our governor was quick to release a statement announcing indiana will no longer follow roe v wade. We are not dealing well here. I'm terrified. I still have 2 years on my Mirena but I'm going to get a new one hopefully in the next few weeks
I'm in a really extreme trigger law state and I'm literally so scared.
I am luckily in NJ, but more then happy to help those that need help if I can. This is very scary and makes me rage internally because it won't stop here as we feared, already talks about more control and taking away more.
I'm an afab person stuck in Missouri, so I understand being scared of this. This whole situation is stupid and everyone should be free to do what they want with their bodies.
I feel for all the women in trigger law states. Their lives are potentially being irreparably changed. It's a travesty.
i think this is an ok thing to be scared about because right now everyone is scared. i also live in MD so we should be ok but we can try to channel our fear and use it to make a difference in the world.
I don't know because I'm scared too. 🫂
