![Standing with the women (and men!) of Ireland— hoping that females get to control their own bodies in 2018.
Let’s not mince words: abortion is a tough decision for anyone. Having a child when one is not ready, or not able to support that huge commitment is not something governments should force women to do. Making a woman a mother, or a man a father, before they feel they’re up to the gigantic task seems like absolute craziness.
As per the BBC, “Currently, abortion is only allowed [in the Republic of Ireland] when a woman's life is at risk, but not in cases of rape, incest or fatal foetal abnormality.” Let’s hope the people of Ireland make the right choice and give women the freedom to make their own choices about their own bodies. | artwork: please tag for credit 🙏🏽](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/561d1adde4b0a49ad0928c77/561d5236e4b08862a343cc7e/5b08203b520149598fd08fa7/1527259219811/)
![This post from @guerrillafeminism has us feeling some feels. We at @projectwomankind feel if something makes you feel genuinely good, and it’s not hurting others, then why not go for it? But admittedly this is such a nuanced conversation, and it’s hard to come to any justifiable conclusion without some party feeling judged. Surgery seems like a private decision that has wider, more public reactions. We’re not saying we have an@answer, but we’re keen to have a conversation. Here is the OG post from Guerrilla, have a read and let us know your thoughts:
“💫 I wanna speak on some shit. I see a lot of people, women in particular, get shamed for their cosmetic surgery. Why? Because society tells women to hate ourselves, and yet, if we then change ourselves to better fit society standards, we are told we're still horrible. It's a double-bind. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. I'm not someone who thinks anyone should change who they are to fit societal standards, but I don't judge those who do. I've been there. I get it. 💫I don't have any cosmetic surgery, but if I had the money, I've definitely thought about things I would do. If you have cosmetic surgery, you don't owe anyone an explanation. Honestly, the only shit that REALLY grinds my gears about this is when celebrities, like the Kardashian's/Jenner's, get obvious surgery to look a certain way, and yet, do millions of ads stating they got their bodies from "fit tea," waist shapers (corsets are better for you), and other bullshit that doesn't actually work (and really is only part of disordered eating). 💫” [post continues in comments...]](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/561d1adde4b0a49ad0928c77/561d5236e4b08862a343cc7e/5b0651e416fded891a11b66c/1527140851116/)
