11.26.15 - The abortion - Unmother
http://crisispregnancymichigan.com/2015/11/11-26-15-the-abortion
112615 – The abortion. November 26, 2015. December 1, 2015. The pills dissolved slowly into a paste of wet sawdust in my mouth. I lay there with swollen cheeks for forty minutes until I could wash away the remaining pill-goo from my gums. They tell you every woman’s experience is different. What a shit way of skirting around it. When a doctor prescribes you pain medication, you should find out why and then ask for more. Everything became a sort of alternative reality where I was floating above myself....

11.30.15 - You are a good woman - Unmother
http://crisispregnancymichigan.com/2015/11/11-30-15
113015 – You are a good woman. November 30, 2015. December 1, 2015. The clinic gave me a pamphlet entitled, You are a Good Woman. The good woman narrative was repeated endlessly while at the clinic. It was plastered on posters, on videos and at the bottom of many forms. The handout provides a brief history of abortion as well as a section entitled, There are people who want to make you feel bad. Here is an excerpt:. I am saddened that this information is needed. According to a study. Conducted by the Joh...

111615 – Vomit. November 16, 2015. November 17, 2015. Motorcycle ride on a beautiful November day. Pull over to the side of the road. Car full of dudes drive by, honk and catcall. 111515 – The pregnancy test. 111715 – The mother idol. 6 thoughts on “ 11.16.15 – Vomit. November 21, 2015. Ugh another reminder that your body is public space. Open to be declared beautiful, ugly or illegal. Thank you for writing this. December 6, 2015. This is a topic which is near to my heart… Thank you! December 11, 2015.

11.25.15 - The clinic - Unmother
http://crisispregnancymichigan.com/2015/11/11-25-15
112515 – The clinic. November 25, 2015. December 1, 2015. The clinic was in a generic medical office building, which retained its Nixon-era charm because it hadn’t been updated since. I arrived just after nine in the morning. The waiting room was already noisy, bustling with people engaged in conversation, sharing videos and playing music on smart phones. There were no men waiting and nobody seemed to notice Pat Robertson spewing out his typical nonsense as. She placed a pill in my hand. She explaine...

11.27.15 - I brunched - Unmother
http://crisispregnancymichigan.com/2015/11/88
112715 – I brunched. November 27, 2015. December 1, 2015. Today I awoke with pancakes on my mind. Still bleeding, still aching, I brunched. Even innocent pancakes were too much after my internal marathon so I returned to bed and didn’t leave. I am exhausted and sore. My uterus or something inside spasms unpredictably from time to time. Do you know that there are people who believe women use abortion flippantly as a retroactive form of birth control? A body forever changed? An unwanted pregnancy places a ...

Thank you for putting yourself out there. I’ve been there. It’s not too terrible, physically. Just crampy, mild discomfort. I recommend the “twilight sleep” (sedation) if you’re not being put under just because it cramp less. November 22, 2015. November 24, 2015. December 8, 2015. December 10, 2015.

11.22.15 - The ejaculation situation - Unmother
http://crisispregnancymichigan.com/2015/11/73
112215 – The ejaculation situation. November 22, 2015. December 1, 2015. My sex life has become a topic of interest among the righteous and faithful. I wish this newfound fascination was inspired by something more erotic than pregnancy, but I suppose that’s as erotic as it gets with this crowd. Many of the messages I’ve received illustrate the resounding assumption that I’m pregnant because I was irresponsible and had unprotected sex. This is not true, but does this really matter? I am repulsed that the ...

http://crisispregnancymichigan.com/2015/11/11-19-15-nightwife
111915 – Nightwife. November 19, 2015. November 20, 2015. They say its hormones. What a shit word, hormones – the perceived terrorist of mankind. It’s time to resort to the medicine cabinet. I guess, why not? A girl’s gotta sleep, especially when she’s growing something inside of her, and even more especially if that thing’s not going to be growing for much longer. Is it too insensitive to ask for a drink for two? Am I allowed to make jokes? 111815 – Purgatory. 112015 – I’m going deep. November 20, 2015.

http://crisispregnancymichigan.com/2015/11/65
112015 – I’m going deep. November 21, 2015. Have you ever flopped down on a worn leather armchair with a seat so deep and broken you sink right into the floor? The kind of chair that envelops you totally and requires a great effort to heave yourself out of? Who benefits from censoring abortion? Why do I have any standards or expectations of Facebook to begin with? Am I a threat to society? 111915 – Nightwife. 112115 – State mandates. 2 thoughts on “ 11.20.15 – I’m going deep.

112915 – Managing. November 29, 2015. December 1, 2015. I couldn’t sleep last night. Low, deep pains on my left side kept me awake. I’m still taking painkillers. I woke up frustrated that this is still happening. My tits still ache. My body aches. I have no energy. I’m sick of this. Of course, but I don’t want to manage my life. I want to live it. 112815 – Big Lots. 113015 – You are a good woman. 6 thoughts on “ 11.29.15 – Managing. December 9, 2015. You are a sick pig, have fun in Hell. December 14, 2015.
