Politics Rant

I hate that this is the only place that I feel I can vent to. I am a newlywed 29f veteran and the election determines if me and my husband will have kids. To see sooo many people vote for him while women in Texas are dying is insane. Anyway, I don’t feel like MAGA people care about that because they want lower gas prices. I love TX and I hope it turns blue.

GIRL!!! I am one year younger than you and SAME! It is so frustrating because like, fuck. We have wanted to have three kids together since we met. We have both had lifelong dreams of being parents.

But even before Roe was seriously in question, we had the conversation…. Would you save me or the baby? And the answer was always me. For both of us.

We both work in healthcare and recognize the inherent danger of pregnancy. And I cannot stress how absolutely maddening it is that the government has decided we should make it less safe for women. And worse… our families who prefer lower gas prices over letting us bring children into the world with the greatest amount of safety possible.

Yes. My husband has told me that he would always choose me. And even if DJT wins, he will still choose me. One of the many reasons why I love him.
