A thread on why I #VoteNoAug2
Because I would have died, but I didn’t. And pregnant people will die, when they shouldn’t.
In October 2019, my endocrinologist confirmed that I was pregnant. But I knew it didn’t feel right. 1/x

Sure enough, my hormone levels bounced around, and they aren’t supposed to do that. A week before we were to leave for Thanksgiving, a transvaginal ultrasound confirmed an ectopic pregnancy. 2/x
My body thought it was pregnant, but the pregnancy was growing in one of my fallopian tubes. I was “lucky” - we caught it early. Many ectopic pregnancies are not caught until the woman is bleeding because the sac has ruptured. 3/x
I don't like getting into politics on Twitter. I'm here for basketball, video games, and cartoons in that order. But there's a vote coming up on Aug 2nd and I'm in a position to provide what I think is a unique perspective on it and I guess it's my time to lose a few followers
Some things you should know about me:
1. I'm Catholic
2. I'm adopted
3. I'm a foster parent
4. I'm in the process of adopting out of the foster system
5. I'm pro-life
6. I will #voteNOAug2
So how can this all be? I'll try my best to lay it out

1. I'm Catholic. Abortion is against my religion. I've never procured or performed one for someone. My religion says I can't. My religion, however, doesn't compel me to vote to prevent someone else from doing so. Even if it did, so what?
