I don't usually say "that's heartbreaking", because… I don't know. I might be cynical, or I might not be able to be heartbroken due to wherever I'm at at the time, or I might not &c because I don't have access to that part of myself right now.
This got right past that, though, and straight to tearful swearing.
So that there is your warning, about rape culture and the law and abortions and the augh-ness of it all.
These are both by Harriet Jacobs at Fugitivus. They're long, but immensely worth reading.
* My New Job: "In my state, minors are required to notify their parents. They are not required to have parental consent, only notification. The notification has to occur before the procedure. Both parents have to be notified. There is a judicial bypass procedure, where the minor can go to court and petition a judge to allow her to bypass the requirement for notification. Before working here, that's about all I knew. Probably that's all most of you know. Let's start with a case example to move you through every aspect of how this actually works."
*Another Post About Parental Notification: I just can't even find a good part to quote. She posts about interacting with said girls who are seeking an abortion.
I have no ending for this post.
