Mother Earth did not spit you out to be subservient, docile, and without autonomy. Birthing bodies everywhere, HEED your right to be whole and free; we are people, and until we can see each other as such, we will never be able to honor our ancestors and protect the rights of our predecessors.
We are the daughters of the silenced and the slain. We owe it to them to keep up the fight and wake up. Reclaim your power. Speak the truth. Refuse for your womb to be reduced to nothing but the production of labor. Stand for your right to choose, to live, to thrive.
This fight is not about choice alone. It is about reclaiming what has already been naturally ours. We are not factories.. We are not vessels. We are not the means to someone else’s political or economic end. The system profits from our division, silence, shame, and blissful ignorance.
Please hear my plea, birthing bodies everywhere. Yes, you the soccer mom of three who says one more would be too much, the college grad on the pill, the woman with her tubes tied, and the woman seeking in vitro.
while the rich build more coffins from the bones of regressive legislation to suffocate not only our right to choose but also the right for our children to live in environments of peace.
So, birthing bodies everywhere, come forth from your dwellings and heed this warning: we are and always have been under attack. The fallopian tubes and uteri that line the insides of our bodies have been ensnared in a trap laid out by the one percent.
When Karl Marx called for laborers to unite against capitalism's oppressive, demanding, and soul-crushing practices, he overlooked the laborers strapped to hospital beds by stirrups.
But I am here to tell you the truth: birth is a business, and autonomy means nothing when capital means everything.In the eyes of the American government, women are the vassals of labor.
This narrative has been so deeply ingrained that choosing to abdicate this role in pursuit of your constitutional right to life, liberty, and happiness has led society to label you as a "baby-killing monster."
You have been led to believe that the sole purpose of your uterus is to form life a screaming child who slips from the pink matter between your legs has been deemed your primary and most valuable function by society.
Birthing bodies, I speak to you all the mother of three, the anxious teen in a high school bathroom holding a pregnancy test, the conservative woman outside an abortion clinic. Yes, I am talking to you.
without the gut wrenching and inspiring story of bei bei shuai's brave fight against the crooked machine we call our justice system. I would just be another girl beautifully ignorant to the fetal protection clause.
To often and far too comfortably our society has removed and regifted the right of autonomy to women. At whim using faith based reasoning as their scapegoat for eugenics. in doing so they have waged a war on uituren lined bodies using legislation as their weapon of choice.
what is a women if she is not the soft pink matter used to enclose and protect the life of another? in today's society the answer would only be that of the question proposed.
assuming the rest of the world was partaking in this new medical innovation these women would be met with unbearable side effects and even sterilization. without their thoughts of a better life and bravery to act on them the tiny reproductive pill we take granted, would not be here today.
and economic stability would be taken advantage of by the greedy hands of american capitalism and its racist agenda disguised as " Modernization" of their island.these women would be given the first trail runs of contraceptives unknowingly.
birth control , is contraceptive tool that most women could not fathom living without. however the tiny pill we so graciously ingest in the morning with ease comes with a story that is awfully tough to swallow. in the 1930s-1940s puerto rican women in search of freedom from the domestic sphere.
this horrific action has promoted a slew of socio political injustices in its wake for our indigenous brothers and sisters. in addition to disrupting the tracking of their family lineage and spiritual practices. #NJCURJ#AmeriYUCK
