Right. I’m sure there are a few real experiences in the bunch, but I’d be very surprised if the vast majority weren’t entirely invented, heavily exaggerated or told in the first person when they’re actually “friend of a friend of a friend” stories or old family legends.

The anti-choicers don’t want to traumatise the little ones with their graphic posters.

You are 100% grade-A certified grown ass woman. I look forward to joining your ranks!

I hear echoes of every other cult leader I’ve ever listened to. I hope this man is put away where he can’t prey on anyone else again.

I am giving birth in a Catholic hospital in two months and I’m really afraid. I only agreed to it because the board of nurses defers to the OB, and my OB’s response to my concern was “they’re not in the room with me, I’ll tell them what I have to. Your life always comes first.”

Because our government could not be assed to do so themselves.

Yeah, the last couple of years... Well, my teens and twenties weren’t/aren’t exactly anything to write home about, though they have been getting progressively better. I’ll look forward to turning 30, from the comments here it sound like that’s when things start to look up a bit! *Fingers crossed!

I will never understand why it’s ok for a religion to run a fucking hospital.

They literally believe that it’s a woman’s obligation to die with her fetus if worst comes to worst. Bunch of sick fucks.

FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK…

An argument I have actually heard is that the protests and politics surrounding abortion would be disruptive and even traumatizing to students. And all these actions are of course performed by the anti-choice zealots.

Yeah, but it isn’t “Give us your best works of short fiction.”

I’m not sure if you’re serious, and lord knows I could never compare myself to MB, but some simple advice for you on a Friday afternoon:

Starred for “baggie of abortion”.

That’s a good point. I don’t think that’s their concern, but there is some logic there.

for real. like i can see how one could justify that something like a marijuana dispensary should be x feet/miles/whatever from a school. same with a porn store, liquor store, whatever. but an abortion provider? come on, guys, that one doesn’t make sense even under the most generous of circumstances.

The menstrual blood is a really nice touch. My hats off to you.

The worst thing that could happen with an abortion clinic next to a school is nutty protesters 1. Showing graphic/faked pictures 2. And maybe even carrying weapons or bombs.

well it’s basically the same thing, innit? some harlot’s gonna go to the clinic, get a hefty bag full of misoprostol, and go peddling it to the third graders across the street, and before you know it, bam - they’re aborting every night!

Yep, even as I sit on my hands so I don’t tweet 140 eyeroll emojis to the FBI. Can we get this nightmare election over now?
