In 2024, Tierra Walker was sick and getting sicker. She was also pregnant.
She knew abortion was illegal in Texas, but thought there was an exception for women like her, whose health was at risk. Doctors told her there was no emergency.
Then she died.

Fusilli sucks. People say it’s good for sauce but it falls apart instantly into smaller gross bits. Structurally unsound. Farfalle also sucks. The middle is never cooked enough unless the ends are turning to mush. Thank you for your time.

On the one hand, good, and I sure hope that I get my money owed, and that we all do.
