This young women called Fia, bravely shared her experience of having a abortion with 17 and what it felt like for her to go through this process, with the public. Thank you Fia for being so selfless and courageous !
"The early morning came. I threw up on the M50, I threw up on the plane. We landed in front of hours of idle time in Manchester. In my teenager’s mind I reflected on the train from Manchester airport that it was nice to be traveling. We shopped. We visited a museum. Eventually the time came to get into a cab and ask for the clinic.
It was a broad, proud Victorian style house. My mother reminded me I could still change my mind. They left me alone in the ante-room with my gown and my thoughts for five long minutes. The abortionist reminded me I could still change my mind. The sedative frightened me as it burned through my veins.
I came around in a leather reclining chair, next to an English woman. She had a son already, she told me, whom she adored, and she couldn’t afford another child. Her friend was waiting outside to drive her home. When the nurses gave us tea and biscuits I was surprised to feel hunger, and found I could eat without vomiting. Every cell in me echoed relief.
Among the ashen faces in the waiting room I found my mother’s and we set off. Into a cab. Onto a train. Through the airport. The walk through the terminal was long and uncomfortable, each step put pressure on my distended cervix. I wanted to be home. When finally I was, closing in on midnight, I presented my sister with a Toblerone and went to bed. I rarely mentioned the abortion again over the next months, though it woke with me every morning. As the years went on I held my tongue in conversation when the topic came up. ‘I’m pro-choice’ was not difficult to utter, but I stopped short at ‘I had an abortion’.
I carried this story in reticence for 9 years, letting only a few close friends in on it as gradually indignation overcame my fear of being condemned. But recently something’s changed. On streets that once seemed to lurch with persecutors walk people, perfect strangers, with a word pasted across their chest that means everything to me. In only one word I read ‘you’re ok’, ‘you are part of this society’, and often, I think, ‘me too’. When we introduced REPEAL jumper Friday at work I outright told my colleagues ‘I had an abortion’. Even with black-and-white jumpers dotting the room in my peripheral vision, I was braced for something other than the sincere interest and sympathy my statement met with that day.
In a dauntless article for The Irish Times recently, RoisÃn Ingle implored women who have had abortions to speak about it. To their friends, to their families. In a time when we can vote YES to marriage equality, we understand that our values are not always reflected in our legislation. We live in a society that deports 12 women a day, seemingly as punishment for their sins, in order to access a service that should be their right. Women do have the right to choose - they choose, as I did, to travel for abortions. The state should not have the right to punish women who decide to terminate their pregnancies. For years my story has been my secret, it has been my mother’s secret. I’ve chosen to tell my story to contribute in some small way to the conversation about what our values really are in Ireland. Through discourse we can understand where we really stand. It started for me with one word."
Murals, Bisbee Arizona.
"These are my kind of people
(kinda-sorta-sometimes)
Refugees and refuse-to-bees
Dematerializing right in front of me
Down-Loaning lives that don't work
Shirking at jobs that don't pay
Playing games they can't win
Chasing dreams on the wind
Time tunnelers traveling
Leading their own light
Following signs no one has made
These are man-kind of people
Psyco-Path finders, non propheteers
Mickey mouth-offs without funny ears
Up and coming, down and outers
Closet clinging kings and queens,
Alcoholistic fate heelers
Multiple Personal Directors"
Located next to the Bark Park.
We drove down to Bisbee on Veterans Day. Got there kind of late and poked around for a bit. Then had lunch at the Bisbee Grill and poked around a little more before driving back.
Bisbee was founded in the 1880's as a mining town, and has suffered all the viscissitudes (and booms) that entails. In 1917 over 1,100 IWW members (or anyone suspected to be) were run out of town in the infamous Bisbee Deportation.
In 1975 Phelps Dodge bailed out of mining in Bisbee and the local economy essentially imploded. It was a disaster for most residents, but the crash in real estate prices made it arractive to artists and anyone else with a lot of imagination and little cash. Modern Bisbee is, well, quirky.
The best t-shirt I saw while we were there was "Keep Bisbee Weird." Amen.
