She did Dylan. Lady has RANGE.

Pawn?

She wasn’t outed—-she chose to identify herself as Jane Roe to grab some publicity.

She did though. She had two before her third pregnancy that the suit was based on. So much later, after her own two abortions and an adoption, and after she can no longer get pregnant, she became anti-choice. WHAT. AN. ASSHOLE!

I was trying to put into words what bothered me so much about this whole story, and there it is.

So she’s basically the face of “the only moral abortion is my abortion?

I blame this on feminism becoming an identity rather than a movement and the American culture of individualism tbh.

Very true. Controlling another person’s body is decidedly not feminism.

For fucks sake, don’t want an abortion..........don’t get one!

A year ago I would have just gone with Pants-On-Head stupid, but I’m coming around to the idea that some people are just disingenuous shitheads who have learned there’s a lot of money to be made in putting a “fun, millennial, feminist twist!” on tired conservative policies (I know, I’m naive). There’s nothing wealthy…

Bingo. I have a friend that is anti-choice. I genuinely want to speak to her and understand where she is coming from. Unfortunately it always ends the same way:

THISSSSSSSSSSSSS. GAWD. I’m so sick of people conflating CHOICE with abortion, birthcontrol with abortion, and Planned Parenthood’s federal funding with abortion. Ignorance of how things works isn’t the same thing as morality, either folks. This is literally about having your own bodily autonomy. Which is why a forced…

CNN had a similar opinion piece yesterday from a woman complaining that being pro-choice was inherently anti-feminist because it commodifies sex and reduces the burden of pregnancy on men.

While I agree on principle, I cannot wrap my head around women who insist on keeping these views. You cannot deny women body autonomy while stating that you’re a feminist.

It’s part of your right to have autonomy over your own body. It’s a legal medical procedure involving your body. You have the right to make the call about whether to get one or not.

In Roe v. Wade, the Court established a right of personal privacy protected by the due process clause that includes the right of a woman to determine whether or not to bear a child.

“This is what we conservative women live with all the time, this idea that we somehow aren’t really women and we just reflect internalized misogyny [...] I don’t think they represent women. I think they are a wholly owned subsidiary of the abortion movement.”

Autonomy over one’s own body is a right.

“a Catholic law student and self-described feminist”

I think you can be a feminist and anti-abortion, but you can’t be a feminist and be anti-choice. Feminism isn’t about the right to “live out our womenhood.” It’s about working to liberate women from the oppression of the kyriarchy. Feminists don’t have to see abortion as an option for themselves, but attempting to…
