1. licoriceplease: foreverliberal: Drop “Arrest Grandma” Act!  Sponsored by Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act, nicknamed the “Arrest Grandma” Act, would make it a crime for anyone but a parent to go with a minor outside of their home state to get an abortion.  The doctor performing the abortion could serve up to a year in jail.  Amendments were going to be added to it to make exceptions for rape and incest, health threats, or other family members such as grandparents or older siblings going with the minor, but they were all rejected. This bill is a violation of women’s rights, blatantly ignoring the person’s health and well-being. Many individuals cannot turn to their parents in these situations. Some are in abusive homes. They have the right to have whoever they want accompany them. These young people should not be forced into unsafe or undesirable situations in order to make decisions about their bodies. Please tell Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen to drop this bill! Sign the petition here.  [Edited to be trans* inclusive] Ummm this only has 200-some signatures and this is kind of a big deal so

About me

Hi I'm Chelsea Raine, I'm 21 and I'm the tea lady. I lost my hand. Christmas day. In a swordfight.

how my friends describe me: "omg shut up you can grow plants in it its good for you"

emergency laughs/awws

things I say (and also some pictures of animals that describe me)

there is triggering content on this blog. I talk about rape/rape culture a LOT. I occasionally reblog stuff about domestic abuse, self harm, eating disorders, animal abuse, etc. I usually tag them with "tw: [content]" but not always. heads up.
