I am 24 and I'm terrified.
I've been doing a little bit to help fight, but my main concern right now is protecting myself. Selfish, I know, but I only have enough financial and emotional resources to either fight for everyone or keep myself safe, and fighting for everyone leaves me open. I've been pregnant. I had an abortion at 20. I can't go through carrying a child because the hormones make me suicidal (literally - it's why I can't use hormonal BC).

Give me a few months to get my shit together - BCP/EC stockpile (which I would of course share), job so that I can actually start saving up the money to bail out of this country if need be, home abortion kit, gun (yes, I already know how to use one)- and then I'll be ready to start protesting out loud. Until then, I'm just preparing to be part of the 'railroad'.
