g1 - I could go either way (guest puzz from Rebecca Goldstein)

-

We are super excited to bring you our first guest puzzle (g1) on just gridding! It's from friend of the blog (and friend of the bloggers) Rebecca Goldstein, who is bringing you a spicy and sassy 17x that we both adore. Enjoy!

Note from Rebecca: 

This puzzle was born at one of my happy places - the local, queer-owned barber shop, a rad, bro-free space where I get a fresh cut and great conversation  with the owner and OG butch lesbian, Julie, on a monthly basis. The theme occurred to me while driving home from my last cut, and I thought my favorite new puzzle blog might just be the right space for it. Thankfully, Rachel and clr agreed - big thanks to them for giving this guest grid a loving home!

    Fantastic. I'd say it's in the top three puzzles I've solved this month, but don't want you to think I'm actually trashing it ;)

These Puzzles Fund Abortion Too — "Too Soon" by Brooke Husic

Healthline.com says the following about what to expect in week five and six of pregnancy: “You might have PMS-like symptoms such as fatigue, sore breasts, and morning sickness.” If I went five weeks without a period and experienced PMS symptoms, I would think it was … PMS.

To understand how realistic it would be to attribute symptoms of possible pregnancy to actual pregnancy, you may solve the following crossword, in which only the first 15% of each clue is provided. The outcome of Roe v. Wade divided guidance on abortions into three categories for each of the three trimesters. In the first trimester, abortion may not be prohibited; in the second trimester, some so-called reasonable regulations may be taken; in the third trimester, abortions may be banned. The third trimester starts at week 27, which is 67.5% of the way to 40 weeks. Here is the same crossword puzzle with 67.5% of each clue provided. Abortion bans are...
