I don’t care about the Texas abortion law, or any other abortion laws. Women have the innate power to create and destroy. Abortion is not a legal issue—it certainly doesn’t have to be.
I saw your reel about this on IG a while ago. Even in hindsight, it was as though I was being introduced to the third dimension (that had always been there, but I'd failed to recognize). I'd been snapping my head from far left to far right, missing all that exists not between, but *beyond* this tired debate. I'd lived on this myopic dichotomy of "right/wrong", "legal/illegal" for decades and you simply pointed out this third option: "mine". It was SO obvious yet it was still the dawning of a new perspective. The depth and breadth this realization brought into my entire life has been staggering. I appreciate you, your writing, and your work deeply, Yolande. Thank you.

Beautifully powerful. Thank you.
Nowhere did I write that, now get the fuck out.
