Army Medic Goes Viral With Heartbreaking Roe v Wade Rant About Defending a Country That ‘Treats Women Like Second Class Citizens’

This is it. This speech by this Army medic is it.

A U.S. Army medic has openly slammed SCOTUS’s overturning of Roe v Wade, which affirmed the right to abortion care for the past 50 years, in a video that is going viral everywhere.

The medic’s complaint, posted just hours after the court’s decision on June 24th, has only now gone viral after it was shared by alt-right conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec on Twitter.

In the three-minute-long video, captioned “raw and unfiltered. I am heartbroken. I am enraged. I am terrified” and uploaded first on TikTok, the medic highlighted the consequences of the judgement on women serving in the military who she said already have “limited access to birth control”.

The user, identified only as Sgt Rahasenfratz, uploaded the video on June 24th. On TikTok, the video has collected nearly 30,000 likes and more than 1,500 comments. It has been viewed 151,000 times.

In the video, the medic said she had just extended her contract to serve the country a week earlier, but questioned how was she supposed to “swear to support and defend the constitution and a country” which treats women “like second class citizens”. Good question.

“How am I supposed to do that? How am I supposed to do that with pride? How am I supposed to do that with love and honor?” she said in the video.

“How am I supposed to wake up every day and put on a frickin’ uniform that says US army, when the US doesn’t even give a rat’s ass about me?” she asked.

“It gives more of a rat’s ass about the guns they’re allowed to buy that kill the children that I’m forced to give birth to,” she added.

“Think about that.”

“This effect on female service women is an unintended consequence which means that lawmakers and Supreme Court justices probably weren’t thinking,” the medic said.

“It affects the very people those lawmakers hold to a higher standard… because they support the troops, do you really though?”

“You really support the troops, even though this is going to greatly lessen the retention of women in the ranks of this military? I am a medic and I know how this works. I have an extremely limited access to birth control.”

“Women in the military are more likely to experience unplanned pregnancies. Women in the military are more likely to experience sexual assault. Where I am right now, you can’t even get an ultrasound without traveling off the base,” she continued.

“It is not an attack on reproductive rights, it is an attack on women in this country.”

Posobiec, who is an awful alt-right conspiracy theorist, best known for holding a “Rape Melania” sign at a Trump protest, criticized the medic, writing: “Breaking: Woke female army soldier questions loyalty to the United States after Roe v Wade decision.”

Of course he did. He doesn’t want women to have rights. He married an Eastern European woman who could be a mail-order bride for all we know. Of course he was also caught cheating on her.
