One of the hardest parts of watching people lose bodily autonomy rights in the US is that one really doesn't need to look to the past to see what happens when XXs are viewed as less important than their pregnancies.

Today, a friend told me about some of the girls/teenagers in his village and family who died or suffered brutal complications from pregnancy as early teens.

It's still a fact of life in the world today.

And one some people won't stop expanding until every XX knows their place.
