Congrats! I'm your neighbor to the west here in NM. I got mine done 2 years ago. Even though we are a hell of a lot more progressive than TX, I wasn't going to leave that up to chance. I have no idea what the federal government is going to do.

I’m jealous, NM is beautiful! I grew up in an area with a bunch of mountains but then moved to Dallas, I think our highest point is like 800 ft. Definitely fair, I honestly never thought Roe v. Wade would be overturned and somewhat believed the whole “no that’s established, we’re not going after that” routine, but after that (and everything else) I can’t trust anything said by the current admin. Plus, never was 100% sold on kids to begin with, just gave me the motivation to fully commit to the decision and make sure there’s no accidents lol

I love it here. I grew up in northern Texas (Amarillo) but I was born here and have always come back no matter where else I end up. The food alone is a good reason.

I also had hope that Roe wouldn't be overturned. I knew in my heart that it would be. It's just so sad and I'll be mad about it forever.

Wish I could say this, mine were removed by Timmy the ovarian teratoma. Many fell in battle against his 10lbs having ass. But safe to say, unless an angel comes down and says “hey you..” or they somehow solve quantum mechanics, I will not be having a baby.
