Womxn's Reproductive Freedom
With womxn's reproductive freedom once again on the Supreme Court's agenda, let's all take a moment to appreciate the toll that the oppression of womxn takes on female mental health:
💫 Women who are denied reproductive healthcare are more likely to experience anxiety and low self-esteem.
💫 Experiencing unwanted pregnancies is significantly linked with poor mental health later in life.
💫 Proposed laws limiting the reproductive freedom of womxn disproportionately affect poor and BIPOC womxn, who already have limited access to mental healthcare.
The right to bodily autonomy is intricately woven into the fabric of our mental health. Having the freedom to choose what happens to our bodies gives us the freedom to take back power from our negative thoughts and emotions.
No matter how you are feeling right now, Life by Design Therapy is here to support womxn from all walks of life through all stages of life 💙
