If this was about babies, there would be universal healthcare. Free education. Free daycare. Southern states would be doing all they can to drop the Black maternal mortality rate. This is about power and control

"Here, queer, and ready to remind you that disabled people are hot. And that mobility aids aren’t a sign of tragedy, they are a source of freedom, which is totally sexy!" @Robyn_lambird outsports.com/paralympics/20…

“...when kids tell me that they feel seen or, parents now have a brighter outlook for their kids with a disability because they’ve seen what I’m doing, and they’re not gonna put any limitations on their kids anymore... that’s all I need to be honest.” sirensport.com.au/paralympic…
