Take action the moment you suspect you may be pregnant
We’re born procrastinators here at BGR. So we normally cut a lot of slack for that shit. But in this case, you absolutely mustn’t delay. Not even by one day.
Most states restrict your ability to get an abortion after a time limit. The most common cutoff is around the age of fetal viability (around 20-24 weeks), but some are intentionally draconian (6 weeks). These ultra-restrictive laws are designed to legally trap you into a pregnancy before you even realize you’re pregnant.
Setting aside the legality, the cost of the procedure will climb if you delay past the 11-12 week window.
State-by-state gestational limits are shifting all the time based on active lawsuits. For example: when I started writing this article, telemedicine abortions were legal. By the time I finished it, they were not! States keep trying new things, and courts keep striking them down, and it’s hard to stay on top of everything. So here are some links of sites that should have up-to-date information as things change—always for the better, we hope!
- An Overview of Abortion Laws via the Guttmacher Institute
- Is Abortion Legal in My State? via Planned Parenthood
- Abortion in the United States by State: Current Legal Status Nationwide on Wikipedia

Quannah Chasinghorse continues to stun, of course
Hands down my favorite look of the night.
things artists need to learn to draw:
- black, brown, and asian features
- fat bodies
- wrinkles
do you know how many people have told me they’ve only ever drawn like 18-22 yr old skinny white people? waterboarding couldn’t get that out of me. learn to draw faces and bodies other than white twinks and models, or die
