Florida woman refused an abortion by Florida doctors after finding out her fetus has a fatal anomaly. She found out around 23 weeks and is being forced to give birth. The acceptance of this by the family is striking. They're not happy but they're not fighting it, either. This is how this stuff becomes accepted and normalized. This woman is picking out a receptacle for the ashes...
When I look at the woman's face in the picture of her at the dinner table, I want to cry. It's the face of resignation. And it doesn't have to be. If she lived in NJ, she'd be granted her and her husband's wish and be spared this barbaric outcome. This is America? What is America to our kids? They have no security !

We women are raised to just learn to deal with the traumatizing shit men and male systems of power do to us and I am SICK of it.
