I need a word

I don't think there's a word for the combination of fury, desperation, and overwhelming sorrow I feel just reading this kind of story (WARNING: graphic descriptions of unpleasant outcomes from illegal chemical abortions)

I think I might need a new T shirt. Except I look terrible in orange. Anyone want a T shirt?

(It's a little hard to tell from the page, but I believe that $12.00 from the sale of the $25.00 shirt benefits Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas and The Texas Democratic Party.)

I would wear that color of orange just to make the point.

I would wear it if they had a size to fit me. Pointing my daughter at this.

Pending job, I might get that t-shirt.

It looks like $6 to each PP and The Dems.
Not a great color choice for many people, but I gather it's not a random choice. They call it "Texas Orange" FWIW.
I wonder how many people outside of Texas would "get" it though.

That's definitely (Austin) Texas orange. It might not translate, though.
