As we explore privilege and entitlement and #patriarchy, there are so many things men simply won't face, or don't believe are happening, or deep down are not able to face.
Because they're weak.
And it doesn't matter how conservative a woman is, if she has a #miscarriage and her husband is not a safe person to talk to, these husbands don't know that they don't know that there have been miscarriages.
That is something that men, ought to be telling other men.
U.S. Politics, abortion, miscarriage
A woman in Georgia miscarried; the cops didn't like her panicked reaction to the trauma, and she was charged with aborting a 19 weeks of gestation fetus.
Keep in mind: the prosecutor was all set to try this woman AFTER it was proven that she miscarried naturally rather than having an abortion. This is good, but the system is still stacked against people who can get pregnant.
