We've Been Stripped of Our Bodily Autonomy

They overturned Roe.

The Supreme Court has eliminated our constitutional right to abortion. Alito wrote that the constitution makes no such reference to the right to abortion. That's really fucking funny because the constitution also doesn't have any reference about there being a “right” to carry everywhere you go. He said it's time to return the issue of abortion to the people's elected representatives of the state.

I'm a woman, and I feel enraged, furious, and so helpless. It's horrific that the government (yes, state government is still the government) is now forcing us to gestate against our will, many of us at the expense of our own fucking lives.

I have new pro-choice shirts that let you make your voice heard and get your rage out. In fact, we have an entire collection of pro-choice shirts because it's something that I, as the owner of this store, am passionate about. 

Abort the Republican Party.

Navy unisex t-shirt with text that reads "Abort the Republican Party."

Fuck your abortion bans.

Heather True Royal unisex t-shirt with grunge text that reads "Fuck your abortion bans."

Don't Tread On Me Unisex T-Shirt 

Black unisex t-shirt that has an image of a rattlesnake redrawn into the shape of a uterus. The text reads, "Dont tread on me."

1973 Roe vs Wade Unisex T-Shirt

Maroon unisex t-shirt that says "1973" in rainbow retro font. "Roe v Wade" is underneath it in a script font.

My “great” state of Tennessee has a trigger law, and they have filed an emergency to enact the trigger ban immediately instead of sometime in the next 30 days. It’s a full ban here, meaning there are no exceptions for rape or incest. And the last time I checked, there were no exceptions for ectopic pregnancies either, unless things have changed since then.

The three liberal justices wrote in their dissent that from the moment of fertilization, a woman has no rights to speak of. It's a really horrible feeling knowing that in 2022, women have been reduced to second-class citizens that don't have the right to make decisions about our own bodies.

They see us as a warm uterus only good for breeding and birthing. 

I hope they're ready because a tidal wave of rage and fury is coming.

This afternoon when the news broke about Roe v Wade, my teenage son asked me if I'd heard the news yet. So we sat down to chat about it, and I asked him what his thoughts were. And he said, “Mom, I don't get to have an opinion on this because I'm not a girl. I would just support whatever decision a girl makes.”

My teenager gets what evangelical men and women fail to understand. It’s not their body, so it’s not their choice. I told my son that it’s okay for males to have an opinion if they're an ally and want to help support us.

They think they’ve won this battle, but they are not going to win this war. Us older Millennials and Gen Xers are playing the long game. We’re raising Gen Z, the next generation of youth. And Gen Z is overwhelmingly progressive- a whopping 73% identify as progressive… which is more progressive than any other generation in history!

Once our kids are old enough in a few years, they’re going to help us tear it all down.
