Friend -

It's your friendly neighborhood progressive mom, Edil De Los Reyes, dropping in with a mix of concern and a dash of righteous indignation about the recent Alabama Supreme Court decision.

So, here's the scoop: they're treating embryos as 'children.' Yes, you read that right. Now, I'm no legal expert, but treating embryos as full-fledged mini-humans feels like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole—it just doesn't quite add up. While I appreciate creative thinking, let's be real; we're dealing with complex issues here, not playing a game of reproductive chess.

This decision has serious implications for reproductive rights, turning our rollercoaster into a rickety, nerve-wracking ride. As a mom and a member of PowerPAC, I can't help but think about the potential impact on women and families who find themselves at the mercy of these legal acrobatics.

This decision is not just about legalese; it's about threatening reproductive rights at their very core. The Alabama Supreme Court's move has the potential to open the floodgates to restrictions that compromise a woman's right to make decisions about her own body. It's like they're handing us a one-way ticket to Gilead, and I, for one, am not on board.

Now, more than ever, we need to ensure that women have the autonomy to make decisions about their own bodies and families without the shadow of restrictive legislation looming overhead. Decisions about our bodies should be ours to make, not dictated by a legal system that seems to have lost its GPS in the realm of common sense.

As we brace for the twists and turns ahead, let's channel our energy into supporting organizations and initiatives that fight for reproductive justice. Whether it's through education, advocacy, or good old-fashioned community support, we can make a difference. Let's turn this wild ride into an opportunity for change and, dare I say, a few loop-de-loops of progress.

So, here's my rallying cry to all who believe in the power of choice: Let's keep fighting the good fight. Let's raise our voices against the absurdity, challenge the status quo, and stand tall in the face of those who would take us backward instead of forward.

The battle for reproductive rights is real, my friend, and we're in it for the long haul.

Stay fierce,

Edil Mari De Los Reyes
