The truth finally comes out.. now you know who to really blame for our border crisis… gotta love it 🥰

Today is election day. I wore my pro-choice button for 135 days in a row, and the day before America’s midterm elections it went missing. It’s been 137 days since Roe V Wade was overturned, rolling back women’s right to make the decision to bare a child. 137 days ago the American government rolled back women’s rights nearly 50 years. 137 days ago the American government deepened it’s commitment to a war against women. On that day I pulled out my “I’m PRO-CHOICE and I VOTE!” button and have worn it every single day. 135 days. Yesterday I realized it has gone missing (shocking it survived me everyday before - a small miracle actually!) I wore my pro-choice button for 135 days, and the day before America’s midterm elections it went missing. I’m taking it as a powerful sign from the universe that today AMERICANS WILL SHOW UP AT THE POLLS IN SUPPORT OF WOMEN’S RIGHTS NOT FASCISM. My little button did not send a strong message to donald trump’s supreme court. But it did start a lot of conversations. It did change how some people thought about me. It did give some people permission to stand up for what’s right, permission to speak about abortion rights, permission to expose lying politicians, permission to support honest politicians, permission to speak about abortion and women’s rights. My button helped other people who saw it, and for those who disagreed it was a reminder we are not going back. 135 days of wearing my pro-choice button was a daily reminder of the rights I have benefited from and the rights all women deserve to benefit from. It was my silent protest, my peaceful protest, my Fashion Activism. Today I’m not wearing my pro-choice button, but I am wearing green in solidarity with international Abortion Rights, inspired by Argentinian Abortion Rights Activists who first wore green bandannas in the early 2000s during their protests. Fashion activism or not - JUST VOTE. Vote today. Vote for women’s rights. Vote for PRO-CHOICE CANDIDATES. Vote against fascism. Vote because you believe women deserve to make their own decision to bare a child or not. ⚖️ ✊🏽 🗳 . . . #prochoice #voteprochoice #fashionactivism #prochoicebutton #greenbamdannas #abortionrights #vote (at Hector, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CktCqadOFSF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

To the man outside of planned parenthood

Dear Random Dude, 

Our first and only encounter was outside of a planned parenthood in Michigan (not disclosing for safety reasons) This planned parenthood is one of the only ones that offer abortion in my state, and i was not there for the reasons you blatantly accused me of upon entering your field of vision. I was there to get birth control, my boyfriend happened to be with me so i can understand your confusion there. You didn’t know that i am an experienced martial artist going on my 8th year of training in an intense martial art. You didn’t know that i am a college student with loads of student loans and medical bills from a recent surgery. You had no idea who i was, or why i was there, and yet you screamed, “Come and talk to me in the name of our lord Jesus” before i walked through those doors. I never once have been shaken to my core, until you screamed at me as i walked into the most welcoming place. I know your goal is to end abortion and all of its “monstrous practices” but what gives you the right to scream at vulnerable women who are struggling with their finances or are in an unstable relationship? Making them feel worse about a choice that probably weren’t making that day. Making them feel uncomfortable in their choice to get birthcontrol, or maybe, yeah an abortion. That choice is hard enough as it is, and for you to condemn women blatantly in the street making them think they are committing a monstrosity is abhorrent. You screamed at me as i left the parking lot that you were doing “God’s work”, and if so, you need a new god, because making a woman feel unsafe, worthless, scared, or like she is going to be punished for a choice, is not a loving and forgiving god that you claim to worship. It took all of my willpower to not scream at you “You are not wanted here! I am here for birthcontrol!” But i didn’t, i don’t even know why i didn’t scream at you. Probably you were trying your hardest to sound nice and sincere, but all you did was made me feel horrible for a choice i was making about my own body and made me feel scared. I felt scared to confront you, i felt powerless to do anything against what you were saying, and im not sure where your power comes from, but whatever the power is, it is wrong to use it in the way you do. Sir, you need to let women live their lives, you need to step away from the media and do some real research on women’s bodies and how pregnancy works. I wish you all the best, and i hope that one day you will experience the feeling that i felt when you screamed at me while walking into that planned parenthood. 

Sincerely,

A women who is sick and tired of dudes getting into women’s business.
