A Day In The Post-Roe v. Wade World

Today's Date: {now.month}/{now.day}/{now.year} Welcome back to campus, {name}! You are a female college student. You live in Nashville, TN and you've just arrived back on campus to start your junior year. Just a few months ago, the U.S. Supreme Court decided to overturn Roe v. Wade, a landmark case for reproductive rights. Now, many decisions related to this ruling will be made on a state-by-state basis. You haven't paid much attention to this decision, but now that you're back on campus, you're starting to see more about it. [after 10 seconds; append] *You're walking across campus and see a poster on the ground.* [[Read the poster->A poster on the ground]]

[if random.coinFlip] *Whew! You did take your pill yesterday!* [else] *Oh no...you forgot to take your pill yesterday.* [after 3 seconds; append] You'd better [[go keep track->Tracking App]] in your period tracking app.

You open your period tracker to chart what you just learned...only to realize that your period should have started **5 days ago!** [align center] <img src="https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/images/flo-period-tracker-1520275006.jpg?crop=0.6666666666666667xw:1xh;center,top&resize=480:*" width="300" height="500"> A friend looks over your shoulder and whispers "I can't believe you still use that tracker, *especially* after Roe v.

As soon as class is over, you rush out to door and to the closest pharmacy down the street. You're basically sweating by the time you reach the aisle marked... {reveal link: 'Family Planning', text: 'weird because you did not plan any of this'}. [after 7 seconds; append] [[Find Pregnancy Test->Get Pregnancy Test]]

On your way home from campus, you walk a few blocks out of your way just {reveal link: 'just to clear your thoughts.', text: ' because it has been a hard day.'} [after 5 seconds; append] You hear something up ahead. [[What's that??->Protest at the Clinic]]

Your friend airdrops you the video link...you slip in an air pod to listen. {embed YouTube video: 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWykZ7g4In4'} [after 180 seconds; append] Yikes! Do you decide to...[[use the app anyway->Freaking out...]] Or delete the app and [[go get a pregnancy test]] after class.

You look to your right to see a group of protestors surrounding a women's clinic. <img src="https://media.whas11.com/assets/WHAS/images/d3dfb348-cb93-420d-b66f-ec39022d2d3e/d3dfb348-cb93-420d-b66f-ec39022d2d3e_1920x1080.jpg" width="600" height="500"> You walk up to see what the commotion is all about and someone yells "You're a sinning slut!" Do you...[[Shout back at them]] or [[Push your way into the clinic]].

You immediately realize that you don't remember taking yesterday's pill...you forget sometimes, especially when you go out. >[[Check the pill case to find out->When you check the case...]]

Your friend airdops you <a href="https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/wellness/story/report-warns-privacy-period-tracking-pregnancy-apps-roe-88490331" target="_blank">the article.</a> <img src="https://s.abcnews.com/images/GMA/220818_gma_period5_hpMain_4x3_384.jpg" width="600" height="400"> After skimming, you decide to...[[use the app anyway->Freaking out...]] [continue] Or delete the app and [[go get a pregnancy test]] after class.

You race home and run through the back door. Thank goodness your roommate isn't home yet. You run into the bathroom to take a pregnancy test... Now, {reveal link: 'you wait', text: 'and wait'}. [[Set a 1-minute Timer on Your Phone->1-minute Timer]]

You have a flashback to [[Something else]] from earlier today...a poster on the ground.

The clinic is within walking distance so you decide to make an appointment in person. You navigate down the street half-dazed, like a Zombie who just found out they aren't technically alive anymore. [continue] [after 10 seconds; append] You hear something up ahead. [[What's that??->Protest at the Clinic]]

"What...." You go silent. Speechless. [after 3 seconds; append] You're normally so quick to respond, especially to people who are rude, but you can't bring yourself to speak up. [[Push your way into the clinic]]

Once inside the clinic, you hear {reveal link: 'the muffled yells of the crowd outside', text: 'soft background music accompanied by a receptionist's voice'}. "Can I help you?" the receptionist asks. You respond... > [["Ummm... I'm not really sure."->Something else]] > [["Let's say, hypothetically, that I need to get an abortion"->Something else]]

"Well, if you need an appointment to see the doctor, I sure can help you out. Would this be an annual exam or something else?" As you attempt to answer her question, you have a flashback to [[something else->Something else]].

Your flashback is a scene from earlier today...a poster on the ground. **Abortions are restricted in Tennessee** <img src="https://github.com/rachelahanebutt/A-Day-In-Our-Post-Roe-v.-Wade-World/blob/94dcc65f7f86c25e4d86a719c2472a2591afd027/Guttmacher.jpeg?raw=true" width="600" height="600"> //Image Credit: Guttmacher Institute// [[So now what?]]

You stop to read the posters. One says that the majority of women in the United States still support Roe v.

[align center] **Welcome to a day in the life of our post-Roe v.
