The United States claims to be the “land of the free,” but for anyone who has tried to get an abortion, particularly as an immigrant, we know this is miles from the truth. For undocumented people, immigrants, and people who are seeking refuge or asylum in the U.S., our human rights to basic needs like healthcare or keeping our family together are put in jeopardized by legislation that forcibly separates our families, requires citizenship to see a medical provider, and criminalizes our entire existence. The U.S.’s brutal anti-immigration policies make Black and Brown undocumented people feel particularly unsafe and uncertain about their futures every day, and particularly when deciding whether or not to continue their pregnancies. — WE TESTIFY | Zootzle
