You should see the gears grinding in some peoples heads when I tell them that I went to PP for 15 years and never had an abortion, or that I went for things other than contraception even.
I’m a guy, but I just sent Planned Parenthood $25 today.
Absolutely true. That’s a big part of how we got Prohibition, in fact. Many people simply assumed that their drinking habits would be exempt - that the “right kind” of people would be able to go on doing what they were doing - then lo and behold the fanatics took hold and EVERYTHING was outlawed, effectively…
Personally, I think that the anti-abortion hardline stance needs to go one step further. If abortion is murder then... directing, paying for, or driving your partner to get an abortion is conspiracy to commit murder.
Oh, the forced-birthers, the RedPill lunatics, the MRAs, and the garden-variety misogynists have been out in force. Everything from approving of child marriage to reinstating “conjugal rights” to rolling back rape laws. We knew this was coming. They masturbate to stories of raped 11-year-old girls being forced to give…
I kept the child conceived by rape. At the time, I was living with my family, and abortion could never have really been an option for me because of them and how I was brought up. I love my son, I wouldn’t trade him for anything, but that pregnancy was hell. Physically and mentally. I can honestly say that if I were…
That’s really what it’s about for most forced birthers. It’s not about protecting “babies” it’s about punishing women they consider whores.
That all sounds logical, but then Trump got elected president. In previous elections, he was considered a fringe candidate. But somehow, over time, he managed to move enough of the party to his side and got enough votes to be elected. Now, sure, between actual voters and citizens who could vote but don’t, he still…
Death penalty isn’t even the most glaring hypocrisy. That award goes to: infant mortality. Alabama and other radical right states have some of the worst outcomes in the country. They literally don’t care about dead babies, they just want bitches to suffer.
Okay, so I used to be an Evangelical Christian anti-abortion fanatic. As a currently sane person who adamantly supports reproductive freedom, this aspect of the current hardline turn to the Right is actually somewhat encouraging.
I had this conversation with my idiot SIL. She told me babies were being aborted one day before they were due. I explained that was a lie & told her she could be against abortion all she wanted. She then said that there should be an exception for rape. I asked why, she could not articulate an answer. We went around a…
I think if they’re going to charge women, no exceptions, then they should do DNA tests on all stillborn and aborted fetuses and charge the male parent equally, no exceptions.
I mean if they want women under 100% control of their menfolk, then the men are the ones to be held accountable for “their” women, right? /s
If they care so much about babies, they will also fight for free pre and post natal care for the mother and baby, free deliveries, financial support for low income families and paid parental leave, right? RIGHT?!
No, the logical endpoint is we let the south form their own Christian run country (think white ISIS) and we build a wall around them until they all die off.
a mother of an aborted baby is considered untouchable whereas any other mother, killing any other family member, would be called what she is: a murderer.
The other day someone posted on facebook the story of Tim Tebow, and how his mother was told by doctors that she should have an abortion because of an infection she had. She is very religious and refused, and look at the result of that choice, a wonderful young man who does so much good in the world. The person that…
I mean, I understand where they’re coming from. You can’t really “rape” a pro-life woman; instead, you “offer her a chance to participate in motherhood.” Anything she says indicating that she feels she’s been “raped” is just indicative of her failure to be properly grateful for the chance she’s been given.
As horrific as these perspectives are, you have to appreciate the logical consistency/honesty of them. I mean, the Republican Party knows full well that these perspectives spoken too loudly will effectively announce the death of the movement, but it’s always nice when horrible people who misjudge the level of power…
Any time the word “sin” appears I know that person is not worth listening to. We need to pry the church out of our government.
