This. You are not a progressive if you are anti-choice. Full stop. Autonomy over one’s own body isnt something up for compromise, god damnit. It’s not that difficult a concept to grasp. I am so sick of this.

You’re welcome to believe whatever you want and you shouldn’t have an abortion unless you want one. The minute you want to restrict my rights over my body, though, you’re no longer a Dem.
Yeah, if you want to be pro-life and express that by working to make sure that women have health care for themselves and their children, and that they don’t have to lose their job to give birth and recover from birth and bond with their baby, and that they have good food to eat, and safe childcare, then I’m pro-life…
Shut the fuck up. Our rights are being threatened by our own side. Literally no one cares right now about how to pay for something we soon may not be able to access. And I personally don’t give two flying fucks about however #triggered you are at the thought that you may have to contribute toward a woman’s medical…
But you have to stand for something. Being just like the other side is not the answer. I don’t know why it’s such a problem to stand for bodily autonomy for women, who are 51% of the population. Those who don’t believe in abortion can just not have one, and work to make sex ed and birth control so ubiquitous that the…
If your personal belief extends only to what you will do with your own body, that’s fine. But if you want to take those rights away from others, you are not a progressive because you don’t believe women should have bodily autonomy once they are pregnant, and prioritize the rights of a fetus over the fully formed human…
They are willing to sell women down the river for votes. Literally. Sorry if our “single issue” “shortsightedness” makes you “angry”.
Considering the fact that anti-choice policies are killing women all over the world, I would hardly call women raising concern over this as “bitching”.
There is no reason to think that this will win them any votes. People who vote Republican will not just suddenly vote Democrat over this one issue. A choice-friendly Republican will beat an forced-birth Democrat in Republican strongholds every time, no question. Not to mention, a candidate that believes women have no…
A woman’s right to choose is not negotiable.
Yeah, well. I have a litmus test and I’m a voter.
Thank you. This is such bullshit. Democrats are supposed to be progressive, which means they believe in fucking bodily autonomy for women: The right to make our own medical decisions, the right to be or not to be pregnant if we wish, period. If you believe in taking those rights away from women, you should be…
So the democrats who take back congress won’t actually look like democrats.
I honestly wish the DNC would finally rid itself of this Third Way bullshit. You want to reduce the number of abortions? Fine: then support measures that actually achieve that end, such as providing comprehensive family planning and child-support services. Take a look at what happened in Texas when they slashed…
Without any hard data indicating that “if it weren’t for the pro-choice stance, I would vote democrat” is a significant voting block, this is one of the dumbest fucking things ever.
JK Rowling’s twitter feed is one of my favorite places on the internet.
I don’t really think the comparison is there, in one situation you have someone who met Richard Simmons at a dinner party and decided he was invited to know intimate details of his life, and in another the subject John B. engaging a journalist and very much wanting to be the subject of a story. Both turned out sad but…
Waters: “Why didn’t you bother responding to our letter?”
I hope she files for spousal support and he gives her a set of boot straps and a MAGA hat.
I am 1000000000% here for couples getting divorced bc one partner supports Trump. He represents the worst of humanity so why would you want to be married to someone who supports that?
