'It's kind of insane and scary to disclose all of this. But for me - it’s much scarier to think about what could happen after Tuesday’s election.
I currently live in a state where I will be able to receive all the healthcare I may possibly need,' she wrote. 'But we won’t be safe anywhere in the US if there is national ban like the one promised by Project 2025. The Supreme Court has already decided it’s ok to let some of us die depending on our geography and the current Republican nominee brags about being responsible for that Supreme Court decision,' she passionately stated.
Having conceived through IVF, Cecily has spent a lot of time in doctor's waiting rooms and offices. 'I’ve been in lots of waiting rooms with other women throughout my life. Feeling terrified and lonely all those years ago at a clinic in California , to feeling frustrated and anxious in fertility offices in New York the past couple of years, to giddily talking everyone’s ear off and wishing everyone around me good luck like I was Forrest Gump the day of my transfer.
' Cecily shared that her Goober character didn't come out of left field, it was based on her own story of getting an abortion at 23. 'I had family and strangers reach out after Goober and tell me of their own experiences - some of whom had never shared with anyone before. I’ve seen so many women in these waiting rooms going through their own struggles and journeys with their reproductive health and family planning and bodily autonomy.
' She noted that a range of emotions are going through each and every woman in those waiting rooms. 'Some look relieved. Some look excited.
Some look fearful. Some look like they are carrying the deep sadness of prior losses and the even deeper hope of some good news finally.

Seen here in May 2024 'Some look as simply dumbstruck happy to be there as me as Forrest Gump on my transfer day. But the one thing nobody in those rooms has ever looked is unable to make her own decisions,' she wrote.
She reminded her fans and followers that a woman's right to make those decisions for herself and her body are currently on the ballot as Americans go to the polls next week. 'Let’s all please vote to protect and uplift and support all of us that share or have shared those waiting rooms together. 'And for the future ones like the little miss thing I’m really really hopeful I’ll get to meet next spring,' she concluded.
