Enough.
 

I know you think you're saving lives by passing this "personhood bill." You think your Christian god had a hand in producing this fetus you call a child, whether that baby was conceived through consensual sex or rape (even though I thought God was against pre-marital sex, affairs, and rape, all which can and do cause pregnancies). However, you're failing to see how much you're affecting the lives of millions of people that are already full-formed, self-aware adults: the lives of women.

Don't you see how much of a burden you've place upon us? Forcing us to pay for expensive ultrasounds to confirm our already sound knowledge of the existence of a fetus in the abortion-seekers uterus. Potentially blocking our access to Plan B and birth control (which can/do end pregnancies aka murder people under your HB1), which make it so we don't have to think about abortion in the first place. Treat us as if we don't have full rights over our own bodies, the only things we're really guarenteed in this life.

We're exhausted. Pro-life supporters and pro-choice supporters aren't even fighting over the same things anymore. Enough. The Supreme Court passed Roe v. Wade. You can't take that away from us, no matter how hard you try with these bills. Abortion is a human right. Doesn't the United Nations even say so?

Hands off my uterus. When you get one, then you can tell me what I can do with mine.
