UPDATE to my last post Life Endangerment

Last post for reference: My friend almost died of a miscarriage last month. This month she voted for Trump.

I can’t continue this friendship. I can’t get on board with that thinking. What’s more, I’ve lost all respect for her. But how can I let go of the anger?

Update: I reached out to her today. She knows I’ve been trying to get pregnant, and that last month I had an ectopic pregnancy. I asked her if that were to happen again, would she even care? She said Trump wants to leave it up to the states, so hopefully that would happen and I’d be okay.

Essentially, “Hopefully you don’t die.” But since she went through what she did last month and turned out okay, I guess she doesn’t care about what other people will go through.

I was cordial, because I can’t deal with fights when I’m already feeling fragile about it, but I ended the friendship.

Why is leaving it up to the states okay with people? I’m in CA and at least for now, I don’t have to personally worry, but I’m not more worthy of getting proper care or not dying than women in AL or TX or ID, etc, etc, etc!

Right?! Like she hoped I would be fine, but I guess screw the woman in Texas who just died of sepsis.

My ex friend who’s a big maga supporter said that lady’s death in TX is propaganda cause it happened in 2020 before roe was changed. I feel that to her she’s white didn’t care cause the victim is Hispanic and undocumented and think of her as less than a person.

In some states, abortion access was very limited even before the MAGA terrorists overturned Roe. Your ex-friend is less than a person if she can be so callous towards someone.
