THE DAY I PEOPLE FOUND OUT I WAS PREGNANT WITH THING1 what was the day i ceased to be a person and became a vessel, a body without will

MY INTELLIGENCE

MY BRILLIANCE
MY TALENT
MY GALL
everything that could define my being, my brawn, disappeared in an ether of condescension
I WAS NOT TO BE TALKED TO

I WAS TO BE TALKED AT
i became the VERIFIED property of my spouse, carrier of his spawn, property of his tribe

MOTHERHOOD IN 'AMERICA'
— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017
Motherhood is an ideal they hold so high, so dear... it's more than an aspiration; it's a manifest destiny...
MOTHERS IN 'AMERICA'
— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017
as complete human beings expressed in all their complexities?... what do you mean mothers are people?!?
AMERICA
— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017
LOVES
THE IDEA OF
MOTHERHOOD
it hates,
nay,
it despises
MOTHERS
to the point of
denying our personhood
and our humanity
MOTHERS
— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017
shouldn't be paid for their mothering
MOTHERS
shouldn't get all the health care they need
MOTHERS
shouldn't be trusted with choices
IF USA REALLY LOVED MOTHERS, if this nation really loved not just mothers but all womb-carriers as PEOPLE, motherhood wouldn't be an ideal
— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017
IF USA REALLY LOVED MOTHERS AS PEOPLE we wouldn't have politicians giddy sending our babies to war
— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017
IF USA REALLY LOVED MOTHERS AS PEOPLE we wouldn't have 50 million applauding into the White House a guy who bragged about sexual assault
— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017
IF USA REALLY LOVED MOTHERS AS PEOPLE we would all have HEALTH CARE as the human right it is, regardless of employment or marital status
— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017
IF USA REALLY LOVED MOTHERS AS PEOPLE you wouldn't rant about stay-at-home moms as 'welfare queens' but ensured we all had a basic income
— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017
IF USA REALLY LOVED MOTHERS AS PEOPLE you wouldn't fight so hard to deny us & babies free health care, schooling, food, housing
— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017
IF USA REALLY LOVED MOTHERS AS PEOPLE y'all wouldn't spend energy insulting me onhere instead of pondering all the ways y'all mistreat us
— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017
IF USA REALLY LOVED MOTHERS AS PEOPLE you wouldn't belittle the labor of Mothering & penalize mothers in old age for those unemployed years
— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017
IF USA REALLY LOVED MOTHERS AS PEOPLE you would never confuse employment with labor and use that to deny mothers social services in old age
— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017
IF USA REALLY LOVED MOTHERS AS PEOPLE we mothers wouldn't have to defend our CHOICE of motherhood as proof of our will as free individuals
— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017
YET HERE WE ARE MOTHERING in spite of living in one of the most misogynist, woman-hating, feminine-loathing cultures in Human history
— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017
YET HERE WE ARE MOTHERING in spite of living in a country where it is still up to debate whether it's a choice to be or not to be a mom
— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017
TODAY IS MOTHERS' DAY but it would be every day Mothers' Day if we truly loved the people who become mothers and not just the idea
— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017
I AM NOT AN IDEA
— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017
i am a woman, a person, an individual, who loves being a mom to my kids and loves mothering everybody around me
MOTHERS AREN'T AN IDEA
— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017
we are beings in our complexities and contradictions. we are people. we are individuals. we have human rights too
MY LOVE & SOLIDARITY goes out to all the moms & mothering people out there struggling in spite of the odds against us. i hear you. i see you
— Liza Sabater 🇵🇷👸🏾 (@blogdiva) May 14, 2017

ONE MORE POINT: if 'America' truly loved mothers, y'all would adore us BLACK MOTHERS and rebuked as terrorism this:pic.twitter.com/AvkZFkzYT9

YOU CANT CLAIM TO LOVE MOTHERS, then find excuses not to support black, indigenous, trans, latinx, immigrant, muslim, poor, working moms
