I want to see more history being taught about how children were seen as practically always awful expendable burdens by most people in the bad old days, when birth control was mostly non existent, but infant mortality, child labor, and grinding poverty were the general reality for everyone but the very upper classes.…

Sexism in this country is THAT strong. The people against abortion have all sorts of crazy ideas to justify themselves. I deal with them all the time. They think: that women will stop having sex outside wedlock and therefore not get unwanted pregnancies, that the women who have the unwanted pregnancies and the…

You know, I think every abortion ought to be a do-it-yourself deal. I look forward to a future where a woman can simply take an over-the-counter pill and have it done, where she and only she has any control over the process. A future where there are no bottleneck of facilities to visit that can be shutdown by…

My grandma was a religious woman with a large number of children, but damn if she wasn’t pro choice because when she was a teenager during the Depression she knew women who died or nearly died from DIY abortions. No one could afford to feed another kid in those days, but contraception was hard to get, and illegal in a…

It’s a huge blind spot. Or a self-willed one? I don’t know that I have the right words for what it is. But you’re absolutely correct. I hate, in a way I cannot even describe, that all the shouting I do about feminist issues counts about 1/10 as much as if one man joins me. And we’re seeing all these women (who are…

It’s Mind-boggling right? I mean women only want abortions because there are abortion clinics, it’s not like women have been performing self abortions or causing their own miscarriages since the beginning of time or anything....this is how I imagine the lunatic sect of the ‘pro-life’ movement actually thinks.

Good idea. If women are punching themselves so that they miscarry, it’s only fair that the GOP feels every one of those punches too.

No words.

Afraid any pain I could inflict can’t come close to the pain and suffering these women in healthcare deserts are experiencing.

It sure is sad that we don’t have a million more unwanted children around.

Well, if these women would just do the right thing and keep their whore legs CLOSED they wouldn’t have this issue, now would they?!

This won’t make conservatives change their minds at all. All it’s going to result in is a proliferation of laws that classify it as feticide or infanticide, to further punish a desperate woman. So awful.

Whoa, it’s almost like making abortion more difficult to obtain doesn’t make the need for abortion go away.

I’m gonna march out my front door and punch the first Republican I can find. Bye.

When I was 10 I took the city bus home from the shopping center on a bright, sunny day in late August. As usual the bus was super crowded so I wasn’t sitting which was fine with me because I like to stand. Suddenly, I faintly smelled these wonderful scents : a perfume and aftershave as a couple passed behind me. The…

“noped out.” ♡

oh god, that part about grabbing your brother and running away - fuck. i can’t even imagine how scared you were!

One time I got out of the shower and someone had written on the mirror (in perfect cursive handwriting, no drips, which tbh is the weirdest part) this weird prayer. It was bizarre, the only part I really remember is “forgive me, father”. I had just moved, so the best I can figure is that someone previously had this…

Sitting at the nail place waiting for my beautiful shiny cherry-red manicure to dry before meeting some friends at a bar. I feel like I’ve gotten nail obsessive lately — always planning next week’s color.
