It gave me a level of anxiety I have not experienced for several years

I couldn’t watch it because it gave me so much anxiety (and I HATE his voice). And it’s not really anxiety for me, I’m past childbearing years.

It’s for my daughters, my granddaughters, my nieces, etc. I’m scared for all of y’all.

Abortion isn't just a woman's issue. Men, especially decent men (i.e. men who don't abandon someone just because they got pregnant), suffer from unwanted pregnancies. Everyone should be concerned about this stuff.

I'm not saying "what about the menz", I'm saying this should be treated as a mainstream issue. Abortion rights are human rights. Abortion restrictions impacts us all.

I worry about both my kids (in their 20s). One is considering sterilization over this issue (I advised her not to panic, and reminded her about IUDs, etc. But I would absolutely support her choice if she wanted surgery.)

After Trump is elected it will probably become illegal for white women to get sterilized. For Republicans white women are only valued as breeders.
