Why You’re About to See a Lot More Women With This Tattoo (Coat hangers)
In Style ^

Posted on 10/12/2018 1:10:07 PM PDT by TigerClaws

Over brunch in the spring of 2016, Jennifer Conti, MD, clinical assistant professor in obstetrics and gynecology at Stanford University, and Gillian Schivone, MD, an Ob/Gyn in the Midwest, began to talk about wanting to get tattoos. Even though they had been close friends since their fellowship days, and had spent hours talking about patients and their personal lives, this conversation felt different. “It was pretty spontaneous,” Schivone says. Conti, who is also cohost of the V Word Podcast adds, “neither of us had tattoos or had really even considered getting one, but on that morning it seemed right.”

This sudden urge for permanent ink was sparked by being in Texas at a time when TRAP laws (Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers) had closed about half of the abortion clinics in the state; both women are abortion providers, and they happened to be in Austin for the National Abortion Federation’s annual conference. With less access to safe care, women throughout the state had begun to take matters into their own hands. There was a rise in self-induced abortions as a result of clinic closures. Just as they have throughout history when access to abortion was outlawed or restricted, women found other often dangerous ways to obtain the same results. In that moment, in a conference full of abortion providers, the anger and frustration over this kind of policy, and fears for women’s safety, were palpable and powerful.

Some day nursing homes will be full of little old ladies with great boobs and unreadable tattoos.

Agreed. American women have more rights than men right now.

Most were pretty decent.

I had a knack for finding the others, more than once. Oops.

I certainly don’t want to paint all the same way.

Well I just hope that my girlfriend won't make anything so stupid. To be honest I'm okay with tattoos. I have one and I don't tell anything to my gf if she would like needles with ink in her skin. Until she isn't feminist I'm okay with everything. I even found place where she bought what she needed for tattoo, at least they don't tell all feminist things.
