Sometimes I don’t share things because then i can just fail in silence. But I’ve moved to failing forward (and fast)
Anyway- maybe I’m actually a runner girl and not a gym girlie? 😅

Banning abortions has nothing to do with saving children but everything to do with controlling women.

Kicking pregnant teenagers out of high school is like firing someone from work because they’re pregnant. Let them go to school pregnancy shouldn’t end your education.

I can’t stop thinking about how better life is when you have supportive parents/ family. You’re allowed to explore and fail and try again. When you’re not preoccupied with surviving or just making ends meet you get to unlock a part of you that can discover what your “thing” is.

Legalising abortion is the only way to go. Legalising abortion doesn't encourage or 'force' women to terminate pregnancies, it doesn't 'kill babies' it allows women to have a safe choice that decreases mortality and mobility associated with 'backdoor' abortions.

Legalizing abortion gives women, especially poor women, access to safe abortions done by a professional. Many HCWs have seen the ill effects of botched/ street side/ home abortions. Safe abortions improve women’s health and decreases maternal mortality.
This is exactly why abortion should be legal in Jamaica!

Some people may be laughing at the fact that I made a tutorial on how to wear a mask but at work I show patients and relatives these things all the time or see them wear them inside out or upside down. Just because you know doesn’t mean everyone else does.

Women are willing to risk: imprisonment, unsafe abortions, back road medicine, at home concoctions and procedures, emptying bank accounts for abortions when we could simply just offer safe, affordable abortions for women. I’ll never stop being pro choice.
The maximum sentence for a woman who has an abortion in Jamaica is LIFE. Life imprisonment.

Women, date multiple people at the same time. You don’t have to have the same level relationship with them all if you don’t want to and you don’t have to sleep with all of them if you don’t want to. But serial monogamy isn’t efficient

No point being mean to teenaged mothers. What’s done is done. While prevention is better than cure, ostracizing those that do get pregnant does no good. Having education and support systems in place doesnt encourage more teenagers to get pregnant but help the ones that do

A predator can feel super comfortable knowing that after 12 months if the victim reports the incident nothing can be done. They know the climate, the know the stigma... they know the damage they instill. 12 months passes by in no time

Abortion needs to be legally available in our PUBLIC system because it's the women who can't afford appropriated care that are affected the most, with botched abortions or the sequelae of birthing children they can't afford to care for.

Getting abortion legalized shouldn’t have to be like I’m rallying for votes during a high school election where I make big speeches and try to convince you. It’s a public health issue- “the people” should not decide. Access to safe abortion is a human right.

Fort Clarence is OPEN. Now $1000 for adults and $500 for children. Sea was rough & lots of seaweed. Was really nice, clean, empty. And I only got bothered by men a few times (maybe 2x). Security there too. Felt fairly safe being alone.

Medical school costs 3.6M. u go to school for 5 yrs, for all of those 5 yrs you feel beaten, dunce & TIRED. People are proud to be in medical school. So I honestly don’t give a rats ass enough to make fun of persons who wear the “statuscope” and you shouldn’t either, let them be.

I keep saying sex doesn’t always have to be this really emotional and intimate thing.
Ever had:
Exam stress sex?
Work stress sex?
I’m bored sex?
Well, why not sex?
I have a headache sex?
I can’t sleep sex?
I’m horny sex?
I rather not masturbate sex?

A group of entertainment stakeholders from Montego Bay, St James today protested the continued closure of the industry. The group held a parade on St James Street in the second city. The industry has been shuttered for over a year. -

I think we forget that just because abortions are illegal doesn’t mean they aren’t accessed. The access to abortions though is different for the rich and they are for the poor. Legalizing it & implementing it within the public system allows EVERYONE to have safe access
