The Jane Network, sometimes called the Jane Collective, was a group who arranged safe, albeit illegal, abortions in the pre RvWade era. They were goddamn heroes.

When I was 14, my grandmother (who is still alive at 95!) told me she had to give herself an abortion when she was first married at 17. She was still in high school and newly married. They were living with my grandpa’s family as her parents had moved away. They couldn’t afford a child.

I did this when I was homeless. I ordered the meds from India. And it’s quite safe, except that I was all alone and it was a bad, bad time and nobody should lack support during these trials. The notion that making abortion more difficult will reduce abortions is the stupidest fucking thing ever thunk. You must…

I just found out that the Planned Parenthood that I planned to volunteer at following matriculation into med school is permanently closed.

Exactly. That’s a feature of their plan, not a bug.

But if we don’t force more desperate people into the “justice” system, then how will we keep our for-profit prison industry supplied with sweatshop labor?

I’ve had more than one anti tell me that a few women dying or maimed by self-induced or black market abortions are an acceptable price to pay for all the babies that banning abortion will save.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s the truest and most succinct summation I’ve ever seen:

I had a feeling this was happening. Limiting access to abortions doesn’t make them go away. Instead it goes underground and becomes even more dangerous and stigmatized.

I see other women yelling at the top of their lungs about this on Twitter, on Facebook, etc. but I damn sick of not seeing liberal men on my timelines hollering about this when they get on a soap box about nearly everything fucking else. I depend on conservative men and conservative women to infringe on the rights of…

We are seriously this close to living in a Hand Maids Tale..... I should go out and buy a red habit......

“DIY” and “abortion” are two words that should not have to be in the same sentence in the twenty-first century.

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

And they know exactly how minorities and the less powerful are treated.

TEAM ERICA JAYNE 4 LYFE. I am loving how Lisa V keeps trying to intimidate her and Erica stays completely polished and unflappable. It’s driving Lisa crazy and I am here for that. Katherine is boring and an asshole.

I’m just so over wrong people. A significant portion of people in this country are just wrong. I commented on it on the Louis CK post, too. There is no equal dialogue when a large chunk of the population believe that women are baby-making-vessels, black people should still be slaves, Mexicans should go home except…

Catching up on RHoBH and have this to say: Katherine is the actual shit stirring, blurting WORST and I love everything about Erica + Erica Jayne. I am worried she is having such a shitty time that she won’t come back. She probably reaped a metric shit ton of new fans for her music already and will have no further use…

I saw The Witch last weekend and I’ve spent the week thinking it over because there was a lot going on. I also spent sometime reading articles about it. First off, I did enjoy it. It is about a family banished into the wildness due to the father’s pride. Before the supernatural stuff start things already are going…

I already posted this on the mainpage, but here it is. It’s just so goddamn jarring to witness the visceral hatred of minorities at these rallies. These white folks are real fucking angry, y’all. I know they kind of assigned blame to Obama for each and every one of their troubles, but this outright racism is so hard…
