I live in an area that had zero access to abortion care, even before the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Now that I am a young, single mother, it is increasingly difficult to find resources for support. I desperately want to join a mother group, but where are they? I can only think about the other young moms across the region who may want the same thing. It seems this cohort is still overlooked as abortion care has become illegal state-wide.
Mothers who already aren't well connected to community may become even further isolated through the heavy demands of motherhood. Much of the local connection to community occurs through churches which leads me to ask: what about mothers that live in Southeast Texas that aren't religious or don't belong to the majority? Where is their loving community? Where and how can they gather?
I propose creating a platform or organization to address this need. Any ideas?
