That has nothing to do with how many children I want to have.
With the recent SCOTUS decision will you have( more) kids?

I won’t ever have children. Those Supreme Court “justices” and every person who supports Roe vs Wade being overturned deserve to be hooked up to those contraction stimulator machines for the rest of their fucking lives. They deserve to feel the pain of every affected woman, plus some. They are actually very lucky. Lucky to not know the sheer torture that some of us women and girls will have to go through. These people are not real humans. They don’t actually have empathy. They’re awful, awful people.

I have debated on whether or not I want to log back onto glow. This topic is a very sensitive one to me. I don’t know if anyone here remembers me or anything, but I’ve talked about my experience here before.
I was raped when I was 13. I did not fully understand what happened to me. I didn’t really understand conception or how people got pregnant. I did not know I was pregnant when I was. I found out I was pregnant in my second trimester when my parents realized I was sick and took me to the doctors. I don’t think I should have to explain the trauma, pain, and emotional torture that a young person endured when they go through such an experience. Pregnancy can hurt. Labor hurts. Giving birth hurts. We all know this. Now imagine being an uneducated teenager who is still trying to work through the trauma and violation of months of sexual assault, plus a criminal trial, and then having to give birth on top of that. Anyone who agrees that someone should have to endure that is a sick sack of shit who deserves the worst.
Because of RvW, being out of the adoption fog, being in the adoptee community, listening to the donor conceived community, listening to former foster youth, and where we are at in regards to our human rights … I do not want to have kids. I would rather put effort into the adoptee community and families in crisis.
If I lived in the US I absolutely would not be having anymore children. Especially living in a state that thinks it can dictate what medical care I receive. What if the pregnancy was ectopic? Non viable? A danger to my health or even my life? Does the government get to dictate how me and my doctor proceed? Hell no. My uterus would be on strike until things change.

Not that I don't agree with you, but all the states with immediate trigger laws specifically made exceptions for life of the mother/medical emergencies. 2 states (Louisiana and I think Oklahoma?) state ectopic in addition to life of the mother. I've seen something going around about someone with an ectopic pregnancy where they almost died because the doctor spent 9 hours with their lawyer to figure out what to do and quite frankly that's medical malpractice. The decision was leaked and these states knew they had trigger laws so these decisions and procedures should have been laid out WELL in advance.
I already knew I didn't want more kids because parenting is hard af in the US. I don't want to give up a sizable portion of my income for daycare again. I don't want to try to balance the needs of a baby with working full time. I don't want to have to face going back to work at 12 weeks while my colleagues in our European offices enjoy a year off for maternity leave. And I definitely don't want to worry about struggling to save for another college fund. I probably will get my tubes tied soon. No big deal, had planned to do it anyways because I've known for a long time I didn't want more kids, but it does seem more urgent to do it sooner rather than later now.
