No one does it with a light heart, it's a harrowing decision, I had one, and it was indeed hard but my health was in danger and I had three little children to take care of. What do we say to the poorest women, who unlike me, , have no access to. contraception, no access to affordable child care, no access to help of any kind. I am heartbroken for these women, because I, I had access to all theses things
As Sacred Fool says, how dysfunctional have we become.
Here is a memo form a community group, named the Female Collective
I want to live in world where...
Humans have more right than guns
Children feel safe going o school
There's free healthcare for all
Mental heal care is a priority
Abortions are a human right
People are free to love and be who they are
We are 100 steps ahead on the climate crisis
All Black lives matter
we shall not stop fighting ( but with love ) everyday until that happens...
on edit : Sorry to be so "activist" minded today....
My heart (in fact, my entire MBS) is heavier these days because of the societal state of affairs. I have wanted to throw my hands up and run away from all of this on more than a few occasions.
Flofrog, you are not alone. I too had an abortion at 17 yrs old due to rape. It was an agonizing situation for me, as a kid. I continue to balance the energies from that time of my life, as those energies arise within me. Today, as an adult, I see many sides of the debate.
This is just one example of social issues that weigh heavy on my heart. For me, many of them boil down to free will, or lack thereof.
Yet, my inner free will has no limitations at all ... my outer free will seems to.
How do I tap into this boundless free will, boundless love and acceptance regardless of the circumstances?
