    In Texas today - I was at work talking to other women coworkers. One had just moved here from up north and was telling a story about recently thinking she needed a pregnancy test and almost went to buy one.

    No…no no no…we told her. She was confused. We told her the horror stories and said no period tracking apps, get someone else to get your test for you, and tell no one. Then decide what you need to do but don’t google shit about it. And don’t text anyone. And no FB messenger.

    She was horrified - she didn’t know it was that bad. She didn’t know about the case of the abusive guy suing his ex’s friends for helping her to get an abortion & escape the relationship. We sent a link.

    She didn’t know they’re looking at passing a law to make it illegal to cross state lines to get an abortion. We sent a link.

    We said you’re from another state where this is legal. If you think you need one, you’re going home to visit your family and you don’t say anything else.

    She said any one of us were welcome to go and “visit her family” whenever we needed.
