In Memory of Rowan

Woman: Can I have birth control?

Government: No.

Woman: I got pregnant because I didn’t have birth control and I don’t want the fetus. Can I have an abortion?

Government: No.

Woman: I gave birth to my child but since I wasn’t expecting it, I can’t afford daycare. Can I have help paying for it?

Government: No.

Woman: Well, why can’t I have birth control?

Government: Because. Sex isn’t for recreation. It’s for procreation.

Woman: But it can help regulate my period and benefit me in other ways.

Government: Too bad.

Man: For no reason other than for recreational sex, may I have birth control?

Government: Do you have a penis?

Man: YES, YES I DO!!

Government: WELL HOWDY, VALID CITIZEN. You can buy condoms by the dozens. Here, here’s a pack of special condom for “His Pleasure.” Oooh, these come in different colours and flavours. Here, try these. They have ribs on them. And this one glows in the dark!! LOL OMG DICK LIGHTSABER!!

Government: But seriously, you’re a man. You can do whatever

you want.

Woman: But-

You want to know how miscarriage or pregnancy/baby loss feels like?

You want to know why a mother never seems to "get over it"?

You want to know why it's "such a big deal"?

You want to know why it's wrong that society never talks about it?

My beautiful first child.
