How do you feel about having a family now that Trump has been elected?
I have always wanted to have a family. To me a family is what you make yours into, not the nuclear family. I was considering having a child on my own or adopting before the election results. However, now with the election I feel that this dream will be lost or put off until it's too late.
I think it would be dangerous to be pregnant in the first place, because the care needed if there are serious complications maybe eliminated completely(ie national abortion ban). I understand that care is already inconsistent based on what state you live in and racial identity.
I've been perusing r/singlemothersbychoice and many of the concerns are being a single parent and having less rights(cis-het, lgbtqia+), being forced to get with the other parent, or even have their child taken away.
Not to mention affordability and I don't think I want to bring a child into this world with what the future may hold.
I have many other concerns that are not related to being a parent, so I didn't want to include those here.
Am I overreacting? What are your thoughts?
