Ever since I watched “Girl Connected” it’s all I’ve been able to think about. I was so moved by how we as women take so much that we shouldn’t have to. Though I’ve completely detached myself from receiving news for more than a year now, I haven’t been totally cut off. Recently, I got the news that there was not going to be a ratification of the abortion law in Texas. Instead, the lawmakers of texas have not just criminalized abortion but they have made it to the extent that any woman that does, receives the death penalty. It does not matter if the woman was raped or if the baby is a product of incestual behavior. Just complete control over our bodies and for what. Another news I felt weirded out to hear was that an anti-abortion activist had five fetuses in her home. “The police said on Thursday that five fetuses had been removed from a home in Washington that, according to an anti-abortion group, belonged to an activist who was charged by the Justice Department this week with blocking access to an abortion clinic in October 2020.” (NYTimes). Honestly, everything just makes me sick.

That anti-abortion activist case is definitely fishy. I feel like there’s a motive behind her madness. I need to watch, “Girl Connected”! With everything going on regarding women, I have been paying attention to the news a little more now.
