Agreed on her being a nut. Honestly, I don’t know what happened but I always try to err on the side of caution when it comes to molestation accusations. It doesn’t help that he has made movies where he dates underage girls and married a girl when he was supposed to be a father figure to her.

ok

Maybe watch the show first?

You are using the definition of life to equate it with a human soul and you know it. People are jumping on you because they know exactly what you are you doing. You are not nearly as clever as you think you are.

Yeah, one of my parents was adopted. I do think that talking about adoption when it comes to abortion is a bit of a red herring, and I’m sort of torn about it. On one hand, adoption should be a readily-accessible option for women who want to choose it, and spreading information about it helps to do that. But on the…

What’s fascinating is that, post birth, she has recontextualized her feelings of having been harmed as having to do with the rights of her son. I find that really interesting.

And that's why places like Planned Parenthood are so important - they give you all of your options, and try to help you choose with all the information available, instead of using any means necessary to get you to choose what they've already chosen for you.

I have had an abortion and I don’t do any of that, nor do I regret it. The only thing I regret is that a smart teenager made a dumb decision and thought pregnancy wouldn’t happen to her. The abortion was a good decision for me.

Adoption is great.... if there is anyone out there willing to adopt. People would now rather do some form of fertility treatments than adopt, many finding adoption too much red-tape or expense and liking the idea of babies that have their DNA. Then if you add the fact that minority babies and children or ones with…

I think about this a lot. My parents bred themselves (and us) into poverty. My mom came into the relationship with my dad with two kids and my older sister is the reason they got married (whoops baby!). Prudence should have stopped them at her, but they were in looooove, so they tried for me. Okay, whatever. Four…

she wouldn’t necessarily have chosen abortion had she gone to a different kind of clinic. pro-choice clinics not only provide abortion services, but have a social worker on hand to help these women navigate the world (including helping obtain public benefits, jobs, etc.). i think the big focus is on the “disappearing”…

Why not? if you’ve got an hour to waste you could fill a slot some other poor woman could take and then she might go to a real clinic.

Maybe it’s because carrying a fetus for nine months, impacting your physical, social, and economic health during that time, lost earnings, employment discrimination, shitty health insurance, extreme pain, potential birth injuries, and intrusive medical care during birth, (do you know that having a baby costs like 50k+…

...science views life as beginning at conception...

And 25 years ago, in Texas, I didn’t have to listen to or read any such nonsense. I went in, got an abortion, went home. I missed 1 class.

seriously, as a teen I would be all “I DON’T CARE IF I GROW A TAIL!!!! GET IT OUT!!!”

It’s funny, when I got my abortion about 10 years ago, I was able to get it pretty easily, but I was still “informed” (10 years ago) that it could cause breast cancer and infertility.

No. He’d have never lived. Including not living in the situations she’s describing.

I just really can’t believe that there are states where a doctor who is going to provide abortions HAS TO BY LAW lie to their patients telling them that abortions make you infertile and cause breast cancer.

I’ve noticed so many of these “Pregnancy Crisis Centers” popping up around me (SE Michigan). Now that I’m pregz i realllllly wanna go visit one and troll them when they try to spout “facts” at me.
