In addition to everything else, we have to be on Megyn Kelley’s side.
Just a reminder...
Spoken like a privileged individual who has never known true hardship. Must be nice. There are folks who struggle to cover five miles to get to the grocery store for sustenance that they will literally die without. I know, I’ve been one of them.
“Y’all are so eager to make her some type of pillar for anti-choice when you have no idea whether or not she’s just an asshole.”
So you’re pro-choice...but: Im sorry, but taking two trips a few counties over seems like a small price to pay to terminate a life that you created. You may not want a baby, but jesus christ do people really not know what the possible results are when you have unprotected sex?
If you are poor and have to travel for half a day just to get to the clinic that does abortions because access to them has been cut off anywhere near you, yes, two trips is an issue. That means two days off of work, which for an hourly worker, means no pay for those days, as well as the money to travel in the first…
I’m sorry where do you live in the United States where abortions are free and how is that possible? I’m going to need links to the free abortion clinics in your area.
Maybe if you lived in reality everything would make more sense to you. If a person doesn’t have the money for an abortion at 12 weeks, then it is unlikely they have even more money for a late term abortion. This is one of the results of restricting abortion access. They aren’t targeting all women with these laws. They…
Do you know she didn’t get ‘railroaded’ at 6 weeks? At 10 weeks? At 15 weeks?

So often pro-lifers present the issue as a choice between abortions and no abortions. It is not. It is a choice between safe, legal procedures and a fucking horrorshow of misery and desperation.
this is what happens when help is not available.
Pro-choice or pro-life, we can all agree that this is horrific. But by all means, let’s continue to restrict availability and access to safe and legal abortion, the vast majority of which will occur long before 24 weeks.
Great. Just fucking great. Now, since 2012, three women have been prosecuted for abortion.
this is what happens when help is not available.
Non-voters have just as much right to respond to the results.
Not too busy, but just didn’t want to:
The two ladies in my office. Both young moms of girls. One actually said (not paraphrasing) “well I didn’t like either candidate but my husband owns a business so, you know, Trump being a business man, it makes more sense.”
This is, by far, a better morning after take than the ones over on The Slot that, so far, are only blaming Gary Johnson, Jill Stein, and their voters.
