South Dakota: "Screw Roe v. Wade"

[glowbelly]

oh and i just wanted to add that i was on wic, that i still qualify for wic and i choose not to go there because it's friggin degrading. while i was pregnant, these non-doctors, were weighing me every month, tracking how many pounds i had gained and telling me that i was gaining weight too quickly and needed to be more on *this* curve instead of the one i was on.

do you know how that makes a pregnant woman feel?

after cub was born, they wanted me to come in to the office, with the baby (at a week old...mind you, i couldn't drive or barely walk because i had just undergone major surgery) so they could weigh him and see what kind of a nutritional risk he was at. ugh. it was horrible.

and it was the dirtiest place i've ever set foot in.

i'm lucky because i have family that helped a lot. there's no way i could have afforded to feed this child without them. a lot of people don't have that and they are forced to go into these places and be degraded by non-professionals so they can get food for their kids.

it's disgusting.
