Ladies posting in this thread. How are you preparing when your state may impose laws like this, similar to these, or in the case Roe vs Wade gets overturned?
Are any of you still of childbearing age, do any of you have daughters, nieces, younger sisters, or any young women in your life? Are any of you preparing for what may come?
I'm married with 2 daughters but we are done having kids intentionally. We welcome any oops baby because pregnancy happens.
I dont think I need to be having more kids age wise (i'm late 30's, but my doctor says I am healthy and got a few more good baby-making years in me--LOL).
I plan to raise my daughters to be intentional about life. That they should be the women they want to be but to understand that sex can cause conception and its their decision to go though with it or not. But that they should intentionally only deal with sexual partners who would make good fathers. I do not believe in casual sex with people who are not potential life partners. Sexual freedom to me is living life intentionally but not just having casual sex. Unfortunately, women dont know where they fall in the fertility spectrum and I don't want them tied to anyone who isnt willing to make her a life partner and be a family. I want them to be super picky about who they let enter them physically---because men can pass on emotional BS to through their seed and the action of sex IMHO...and IME.
I was just watching a clip on FB from a Steve harvey episode where a Biracial woman let herself be friends with benefits with a Black man for 3-4 years. She is 6 weeks pregnant and he wants her to sign something saying she won't seek emotional or financial help should she keep the baby. Steve says the law wouldnt even recognize such a contract. And he needs to man up. She said he didnt want to make a baby with a 1/2 white woman and basically cursed her out bout her race...... Point is....I'd never encourage ANYONE to be friends with benefits. So that was a failure out the gate. My daughters aren't someone's booty call nor are their vagina's someone sexual dumping ground.
Abortion is an option. But its traumatic to experience and I'm not giving my daughter the "abortion is an easy thing and a FIX to all your troubles" either. Because some people DO use it as birth control. And I'm not cool with that. I know girls who have had 10 of them before their 30s. Not understanding that they are super fertile, and need to guard their wombs.
