What does “never part of our biology” even mean?  

You do realize that there is no intention of ‘accomodation’, when the ban is placed before women even realize they are pregnant.

And yet, the same people that are vehemently against abortion are at the same time against birth control, and against things like the cervical cancer vaccine.

Those adjustments CAN be made, but AREN’T. That’s the point. These laws aren’t about the ‘consequences of irresponsible and unprotected sex’, these laws are about controlling women. Not all pregnancies are a result of unprotected sex - you realize that, right? And I’m not even talking about rape right now.…

Nah, those babies get adopted out, or raised by grandma or an aunt and led to believe that woman is their mother. Susie’s life goes on as planned.

It’s a combination of thinking of themselves as a better people, such as a the woman who thinks “I waited until I was married before I sex, not like those weak sluts spreading their legs for every boyfriend.” and knowing that even though the clinic staff recognizes them as one of the “pro life” protesters outside,…

The problem is the same people pushing criminalizing abortion are also rabidly anti-birth control other than fertility timing which is nearly impossible for young and less well educated to attempt with any hope of success.

I gotta tell you, I’m at the point now where the people who think this is cool and okay will have to see for themselves how great these laws are when these same politicians come for birth control. When they take their daughters to the doctor to get birth control on the down low and are told it’s illegal because Jesus…

This is the same system that ruled that teenage girls are too immature to decide to get an abortion (but not too immature to raise a child, I guess). Boggle away. Drink until you die.

Silly! This isn’t about abortion and never has been. It’s about controlling women and preventing them from being members of society. If they’re stuck at home with a bazillion babies, then the men can have all the gross fun they want, decently be screwed!

“Oh, honey, you know those three rapes were only instances of sex you regret. There are consequences for your actions. You should be stoned to death.” —said too many conservatives after reading her account.

Anti-choice is never about abortion itself, and it is not about fetuses. It is about control. It is about who owns women’s bodies - women, or the state. It is about power - and in that regard, those who oppose abortion are driven by the same force as those who rape: the need to dominate women.

I’m Salvadorian and not all that proud of my home country when it comes to how far punishing abortion goes. Women have miscarried and have been accused of illegal abortions, and have gone to jail over it. Girls younger than 12 are raped by gangs or family and forced to carry to term. This is our trajectory.

They can date the fetus via ultrasound image, though. You can lie and say you’re only 5 weeks, but if you get an ultrasound, they can tell within a day or two how far along you are.

Pregnancy is technically chemical until 6 weeks, meaning that it’s an embryo, not a fetus, until that point. Before 6 weeks, it’s just multiplying cells in the wall of your uterus, so there’s nothing to surgically remove.

Yes, our wonderful Kentucky legislature is passing a slew of anti-abortion laws, including a heartbeat bill. Our governor cares SO much about children that he’s also gutting teacher pensions and public school funding and thinks kids should be out waiting for buses in below 0 degree temperatures not “being weak” by…

I wish the aliens from xenomorph were real so that we could impregnate every single person against safe legal abortion with the alien baby and make them carry that shit to term till it tears out their fucking chests.

Because the rapist, who is a Kentuckian, as am I, and I reside in Tennessee, has paternity rights in Kentucky and Tennessee. I would’ve had to co-parent with my rapist.

Ashley Judd is the blueprint for women with intelligence that give zero fucks about what anyone else thinks. 

Jesus fucking Christ. I cannot even begin to imagine being such a strong person to say, “[O]ne of the times I was raped, there was conception.” because you had been raped THREE FUCKING TIMES and not immediately break down crying.
