Nice.

I think in the past (and I'm old enough to remember), both abortion and miscarriage carried a self-imposed shame/shunning silencing.

But now, people are not ashamed to talk about it. And those stories are surfacing, even in people's own circles. When someone hears a story of a wanted pregnancy that goes wrong, and the young mother's case of near-death sepsis as well as the damage to carrying future pregnancies--people will catch on.

These dogs have caught the car they were chasing. I wish it didn't include the collateral damage to young families, but here we are. I hope people get to the ballot box with these stories in their heads. We should make sure of it....

Having a miscarriage is one of the most traumatic experiences I could imagine. Can't believe people would shame someone going through that.

Yeah. I don't know that part would be active shaming like an elective abortion would ignite some biddies. But some people feeling personal failure at not being able to carry. They shouldn't--it's not a personal failure, but I've seen some people feel some of that.

biddies.

This should be a synonym for today's theocrats.
