Being Mean as a Coping Mechanism is A Huge Addiction for Patriarchal People to Address

"Clay Blackmon and his wife Alyssa Gonzales received the devastating news that their fetus had trisomy 18. The fetus had two holes in his heart, no nose bone and his brain had not developed. 

But in Alabama, where nearly all abortions have ceased due to a strict ban, they were unable to receive care. The couple drove over 12 hours to Washington, D.C., to a clinic that they said was packed with patients. 

'People were shoving each other out of the way. And a woman, her water broke on the floor. And she was about to give birth,' Clay Blackmon said. 

'I feel like this is the issue that you run into when you don't give people options. When you make it only certain states, and only these certain places, it becomes very narrow window. And you have all these women that are flooding in there, just trying to have a solution to the tragedy and the trauma that they're facing,' Blackmon said."
