Default need some advice..

So a couple of days ago I was drving and slid on some black ice and I hit the median and spun out into oncoming traffic at like 45+miles per hour. My front bumper came loose, no real damage other than that. but now my car is pulling VERY hard to the right. It gets even worse when i get over about 30 miles per hour. What do you guys think I should do to have this fixed?

Get it on an alignment rack and see what they say.

yes put it on a lift 45 miles per hour is a right hard hit,stangs belong in the garage when its ice on the road, surely you need a alinement, and probably more.

Some people either don't have, or can't afford a garage/ Daily Driver/ beater car.. It's most likely your alignment, it'll cost you about $70 bucks to get the alignment checked/ fixxed. And they will check it for more problems when they go to align it.

Good luck, and I hope your baby is ok!

I'm betting you've damaged or broken something. Possibly bent a tie rod. Fix the damage, don't drive on it till you identify it and determine if it's safe to drive or not. Usually a severe pull is NEVER safe to drive on.
