Seriously I bet if someone played them 10 audio clips of women getting medical procedures with 1 abortion in the mix they’d be calling random pap smears etc “horrific”

My morning commute tradition is to listen to my local NPR station. For some reason, my normally hellish commute wasn’t too terrible, and I was going to get into work way too early, so I stopped by a nearby Walmart to kill some time. That bit of audio came on, only a few minutes before I pulled into the Wally world…

I wonder what they’d say if they could hear the noises during orthopedic surgeries. Some of that shit is legitimately horrific.

I’ve had pap smears more traumatic & painful than most abortions.

I’m guessing the outrage is at the simplicity and normality of the procedure. No screaming fetus, or wailing woman for the righteous right to hold up as proof of something; sin maybe?

I think they find it horrifying because it’s not at all horrifying on its face. There’s a tape that some first aid courses use to talk about pool safety; they introduce it by saying it’s a recording of what a drowning child sounds like, and then they play it and it’s just silence. It powerfully makes the point about…

Anyone who has a problem with this audio deserves a pineapple up their ass, especially considering the signs & pictures that forced-birthers love to display outside abortion clinics.

How did this dude age out of, and right back into, looking like Edward Scissorhands?

Conservatives started their fantasies of fetus personhood as a response to abortion advocacy, not the other way around. For millennia, humans have understood that a fetus that is still gestating is nowhere near the same thing as a child that is healthy and likely to survive into adulthood. Hell, there are cultures…

A lawyer dating a client - even a former one - is gross. Whether or not he’s a creep! Just my humble opinion.

I’ll say this: at least this time they’re performatively mad about something that actually happened, rather than their usual performative anger about something they made up entirely in their own heads.

Can't wait.

Rihanna was deliberately quiet on the Depp/Heard stuff, which was reasonable considering she could take heat by siding one way or the other.

Yeah, I thought this article would be about the fact that she’s an abuse victim and seems to be going out of her way to side with an alleged abuser, but it didn’t get a single mention?

Rihanna, a victim of domestic violence, invites an abuser to her show for some provocative marketing for her pretend-progressive lingerie business.

Was just thinking I don’t have to feel bad about not loving her makeup line, lingerie or her new single for Wakanda Forever (it’s sleepy)

I lover her, but she has terrible taste in collaborators/representation. Ew. #ForeverInTheGreys.

I feel bad for Rhianna. She has a history of looking past the abuse of some truly awful men. I hope ASAP Rocky is a good man.

Johnny Depp and Elon Musk are really fighting for the, “Look at me! I’m still cool and young!” top spot.

It’s almost like we can’t cancel anyone.
