This piece is meant to show how psychologically detrimental a lack of reproductive rights is. When there is no safe space, proper education, protective legislature, or familial support, people are at a higher risk of endangerment. Pro-life sentiment only increases the chances of an unsafe situation, and in this person’s case, a back alley abortion. without resources to fall back on, these people are forced to hide their pain and trauma while knowing they are going against their family, educators, religion, and politicians. People, especially young women, who lack reproductive rights are likely to suffer from ptsd and postpartum depression.
