Janneke Parrish is an activist and community advocate from Texas—a state that even before the Supreme Court’s intention to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade case was leaked, passed the most restrictive abortion law in the country. In Texas, it is illegal to have an abortion after about six weeks when a heartbeat can be detected, regardless of whether that pregnancy was the result of rape or incest. Parrish shared a thread on Twitter Monday explaining exactly what it means "to cease to be pregnant in a state where abortions are banned."
It is both heartbreaking and infuriating. Consider this a trigger warning.
