hello, that wasn’t in northern ireland. it was in Ireland.

From the info on that Marie Stopes site:

Yeah pretty much. Better to die and be a martyr than have an abortion and live. Besides, if you die your husband can upgrade to a newer model who’ll never be able to live up to you on your pedestal, so she’ll work harder to keep him happy.

They just let an Indian woman, who was neither Irish nor Catholic, die a painful death because they refused to remove the fetus from her body that was killing her while it still had a heartbeat, like last year. So fuck these people. Why the hell they felt the need to go to a place that is already that horrible is…

Oh cool, so now Americans can join forces with the wackjobs in Northern Ireland and with our powers combined, we can prevent women on opposite sides of the ocean from obtaining care! Yes!!! It’s so great when we can recognize religious insanity akin to our own and help nurture it.

Wait — they’re Americans? Setting up shop in Ireland? Did I get that right? For some reason, that actually amuses me.

So these assholes are viciously protesting harassing women who are seeking medical abortions for life endangering pregnancies? And opening a fake clinic which will be completely incapable of providing actual medical care much less high risk OB services?

“Alcohol is a sin. This is why I’m going to Salt Lake City to protest drinking.”

Must be nice to have all that extra time and resources.

Can confirm. Ironically, in my experience this seems more apparent in fields like biology that are becoming increasingly more female dominated.

I’m not sure if this has anything to do with the old guard of men feeling threatened, or if it’s just that much more obvious when there are more women around to begin with…

1. Nice use of “hysterical,” Wife of Misogynist

also unrepentantly racist. republicans being scrum is not news

For chrissake, can someone finally get through to these fuckwits that the shit you slyly murmur over the rim of your bloody mary, as you scope passersby with your brunch companion (singular), is very often not fit for broadcasting to the entire world?

As if there weren’t enough creepy guys on campuses, now we have old creepy men too.

My Halloween costume is gonna be that of a half drunk woman watching horror movies on Netflix.

They also seem to be completely aware of the fact that married women might not want (more) kids. And I suspect a lot of the “just stay abstinent!” folks are the sort who would think it’s a wife’s duty to have sex with her husband.

What the bloody hell is a birth truther?

This connection (and its inherent hypocrisy) occurred to me as well. The religious nutcases of the world will simply say that these poor God-fearing people suffered a terrible tragedy, which is very different from the sinful “sluts” who are having alleged abortions (even though those “abortions” appear to all the…

Taking the religious batshittery out of it, this heartbreaking story is still disturbingly similar to a subset of the earthy/crunchy Brooklyn parent with the holistic/natural everything and the $2,000 Stokke stroller.

But women who choose to end a pregnancy at 8 weeks are the evil ones, y’all. Just remember that.
