This Thanksgiving be Thankful for Your Abortions
I know it’s wrong to wish punishment on anyone but I really do wish this woman would end up in a Russian prison next to the WNBA player who took a knee whenever the National Anthem was played. If you cant find anything to be thankful for in these United States, other than the two legal murders you committed, I really do hope you leave and go find another country. But of course the idiots who promise us they will always seem to back out on their promise.

Calling Thanksgiving a “complicated” holiday, the author questions why the country bothers celebrating it.
“This year I find myself reflecting not only on all the people I love and cherish but also on the outcomes and impact of the midterm elections, and on why our nation celebrates the complicated holiday of Thanksgiving at all,” she writes.
Natale then slams the national festivity, which she describes as “founded on the unforgivable genocide of Native Americans.”
As a result of her “commitment to justice for all people,” celebrating that which she is most thankful for, she claims, is a “difficult” thing.
“[T]he harsh reality is that the utter disregard for all Indigenous people in the 1800s fuels the same systems of white supremacy that dehumanize all of us today,” she charged.
According to the author, “Black lives are taken by the police and the prison-industrial complex, any sense of LGBTQ+ peace and tranquility has been obliterated by gun violence and hate, and, ultimately, the small promise of abortion access guaranteed by Roe v. Wadewas stripped away by an illegitimate Supreme Court.”
“When I look at the state of this nation, the anger piles up, and my gratitude is depleted,” she adds.
Despite that, Natale expresses gratitude for her multiple abortion experiences and for having access to abortion “while it was still legal” in Texas.
She admits that when expressing “gratitude for my abortions,” sometimes she (and others) are “met with questions and chiding from family members or loved ones who believe that we shouldn’t ‘celebrate’ or be ‘thankful’ for our abortions” — even those who are “pro-choice.”
