So I take it this exhibit won’t be mannequins of dead women laying besides blood covered coat hangers or in hospitals beds dying of sepsis? Cause that’s what I think of when I hear “history of abortion.”

The part that has me the *most* angry, though, is how little local media is covering all of this. I have been a lifelong Missouri resident and I have to come to Jezebel to find this out. Kansas City Star isn’t covering any of this. None of the local stations talk about state legislature. Fuck me. I had to explain to…

You know how they always ramble on about how many scientists or athletes wouldn’t be here if their mothers had had abortions? I want the testimony of victims of crimes, people who’ve managed to survive genocide, war lords, and autocrats who could tell us how the opportunities to prevent their suffering was lost…

As someone in the field of museum studies, this man can kindly fuck off on all counts.

I just googled that quote and found the article, which is quite interesting. I think the last paragraph pretty much says it all:

So they are going to have a display of women like my grandmother being beaten by her husband yet again, but feeling that she can’t leave because she can’t support a baby?

I’ve had two abortions. #1 - in the UK - I lived there at the time. We used condoms, it came off, I got it sorted. The whole process took maybe 2 weeks (from knowing) to finish.

Well, sure, I’d be happy to put up a Gestational Slavery exhibition next to the American Slavery one. It could feature biographies, photos and mementos from the lives of the many, many women who have died as a result of not having access to reproductive healthcare. We could even aim for some really good intersectional…

If it was a factual history of abortion (from when it was illegal to now), this exhibit would lend strong ethical support for the prochoice movement.

The King of the Mustache Ride Club says you are cast out Mike Moon.

I’d be happy to donate my collection of button hooks, knitting needles, and turpentine bottles.

Ooh, can they include the impacts of back-alley abortions, women and children who are forced to live in poverty because they came pregnant in unstable situations, statistical trends and scientific analysis, and the full story?

Let’s just give them all to Trump. After all, he doesn’t read what he signs.

You know what really pisses me off about this? (Actually there are a bazillion things that piss me off about this, but I digress). Some of the assholes sponsoring these kind of legal attacks on women are the same sort of assholes who wind up Trumpkins with conspiracy scare stories about the shadowy influence of…

Women have more bodily autonomy when they’re dead than when they’re alive.

Words are failing me right now. I grew up aware of feminism, and though I wasn’t a feminist, I always thought that equal rights for all was a no brainer. Today I consider myself roughly half a feminist, but none of these things that these people are proposing sound at all sane to me. I do not understand these people…

If you are a woman of childbearing age and have the wherewithal to move out of Oklahoma, do it. Just get out now. I realize it’s not easy for those with families and responsibilities to drop everything and move, but living in a state that believes it’s perfectly acceptable to treat adult women obtaining a legal health…

I’m sorry but fuck the father of the fetus 😠

The DNC needs to kick in gear and start getting competitive in these areas where the American Taliban are showing their asses. We need to start an anti-propaganda war of epic proportions -- blanket the airwaves with education and common sense in these backward hovels of ignomity until their brainwashed voting base…

Can someone volunteer to be the father and just sign hundreds of the forms? Hell, I’d be willing to do that. Of course I would never ever live in Oklahoma, but I’d be ok doing it from afar here in Oregon.
