[TRIGGER WARNING] I’ve never written a piece with a trigger warning before. This piece actually upsets ME quite a bit. I debated whether or not to put it online… To be honest, it was a bit shocking to discover that I was capable of describing this kind of situation and I wasn’t sure about putting it out there in a place where my parents (who raised me well) will see it.

To give context to the piece, It was written shortly after Roe Vs. Wade was revoked largely due to the fact that I can’t understand this world where my daughter now has less control over her body than I have historically had.

I hope my readers won’t think less of me after reading it. While this incredibly horrifying reality the character in this story is dealing with seems far-fetched, so did “The Handmaid’s Tale” and many have seen striking resemblances to the modern day… so stay alert. Rights must not be taken for granted.
