15 things to do in light of Roe v. Wade being overturned

These are in addition to my much longer post. Please add to it.

  1. If you live in a state that has protected abortion rights, contact your governor to urge them to say that your state will not cooperate with other states' investigations into those seeking and those providing abortions (I know that at least the New Jersey and California governors have already made such statements). Here's how to know if your state has protected abortions rights. Here's how to contact your governor.
  2. If you live in a state that does not have protected abortion rights, contat your state reps and governor to urge them to protect abortion rights and strike down restrictive legislation. Here's how to know if your state has protected abortions rights. Here's how to contact your state rep. Here's how to contact your governor.
  3. Find a protest or other event here or here

Starting my parental journey, part 1

To be clear, I am not pregnant. Nor do I currently plan on being pregnant soon. However, I promised myself that if I was 30 and still single I'd start to explore my options for having a child either on my own or later in life with a partner. Well, 30 came and went, but 31 is still here so close enough I figure.

Obviously, I'm not getting pregnant now, but I am getting ready for that eventual possibility. There have also been various bureaucratic issues that I've been dealing with. Mostly insurance stuff (as I'm sure comes as no surprise). But, thanks to a new benefit at work that started 1/1/24, my journey will be (mostly) covered. While, again, there were some bureaucratic hurdles that I had to overcome in order for this to all work out, I am immensely glad that it did work out. I am nervous though. In part I'm nervous about a lot of the practicalities of this step in my journey. For instance, I will have to inject myself with various medica
