What a week. If you live in the United States, you’ve been bombarded with numerous rulings from the Supreme Court that stand to impact our lives, immediately and drastically. I’m feeling a lot of feelings, as most of us are. And in the midst of the rage and heartbreak and fear, there’s also a little bit of shame.
To carry and care for my two children in my own way and time has been the most exhaustive and exquisite journey, yet, in 1991, I made a different choice, one that I will never take for granted.
For me, January 22, 1973, and January 22, 1991, will be forever intertwined, for they are the day the personal became political - the day I chose to terminate a pregnancy.
The June 24th ruling was not unexpected, but that makes it no less unimaginable to be in this country as a woman at this moment.
I truly appreciate how you codified various CTAs. May I include in my own newsletter (with credit of course)? I'm in the midst of working with @instrumentsofmemory : conversation with women in the arts to create an archive/online story space for women to share their previously (unspoken) stories. If you feel inspired to share widely or in any capacity I would be honored.
Thank you dear Hitha. Needed this tonight, all of it. xx
