Only Good For...

Dear Black Pro-Life Coalition & Afiya Group,

"Abortion is Self-Care" is debatable to me. I will say I understand what you were trying to say. But I do agree with the statement, "Abortion is not healthcare." I am speaking to the battling billboards you both have that are discussed HERE

Oh but your billboards are still extremely tone deaf. You are arguing about what is wise for the reproductive & emotional health of Black women in Dallas via abortion. Abortions are not the Only thing Black women do. If you want to argue what is self-care & healthcare, where are the billboards to encourage regular well-woman check-ups for Black women?

Where are the billboards to take a flu shot in Oak Cliff? Where are the billboards to promote the self-care tips to sleep more & drink more water in Plesant Grove? Where are your billboards that encourage healthy mental health for Black women?

Your messages are clear. And it is very damaging to Black women. Only focusing on whether Black women should have abortions is Not healthy for Black women. Both of your messages encourage stigma & shame because, in the heart of two areas of Dallas where Black women live, the medical advice you care about is abortion. Just like the only beverages, Black people drank in the 90s was malt liquor. Oh, the billboard messaging of yore...

*sigh*

Well, this Black woman chooses to ignore you both. That is my self-care option for me to be mentally healthy. Because mental care is health care, also. And choosing not to let sneaky poisonous billboards dictate my self-worth is the best therapy for me.

As Always Talking to You In Adult Terms!!!
