Hahahahaha *sob*

During slavery, our value was tied to our ability to reproduce the work force (Spillers, Berry).

As a survivor, I am thinking about how Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas are credibly accused of having violated and harassed women and are now the ones about to deny us our right to abortion care. Abusers do not belong in public office. Period.
