The comments looked mostly pro-choice in reaponse to it but there was still plenty of disinformation, blaming woman for getting pregnant and terminating the man's offspring.

I was livid when Nick Fuentes publicly posted "your body, my choice." The morning after the election. I wish he had not said it, but now im glad.

Now it's easy for me to make sense of what pro life has always been instead of questioning myself since I was a little girl being gaslit about my healthcare and basic human rights.

Now I imagine back to all those people (especially my male exes and religious men in my life) talking about how evil abortion is and about heartbeat laws. How happy they told me they were when Roe Vs Wade was overturned.

I'm happy Because I now realize they weren't good people. They didn't love me or other people with uteruses. I imagine them saying "your body, my choice" to all the women and little girls in their lives and realize what awful disgusting people they were.

It's not about the babies---it is about power and violence on our bodies.

hi everyone

i planned on having my medical abortion next week when my parents are gone on holidayand so my boyfriend can also come and be with me and take care of me. however, things didn’t go as planned. my uncle got really sick and i had to stay with my aunty, which is 6 hours away from home.

i will be back next week, but that will be after my parents are back home. So i have no choice but to do it when they’re at home. i plan on doing it in the morning when they’re gone to work and hope that the worst passes before they’re back.

has anyone done this? can anyone please give me some advice. i dont want them to think something is seriously wrong with me but i really do need to get the abortion done.

i’m just terrified at this point and i don’t know what to do.

I made this comment in another post but I thought it'd be a good idea to make it its own post. I remember reading this quote years ago and it really made the other sides motives clear for me.

"The "unborn” are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they don’t resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct; unlike widows, they don’t ask you to question patriarchy; unlike orphans, they don’t need money, education, or childcare; unlike aliens, they don’t bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus, but actually dislike people who breathe. Prisoners? Immigrants? The sick? The poor? Widows? Orphans? All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible? They all get thrown under the bus for the unborn." - Methodist Pastor David Barnhart

any herbs or medications that will preferably "kill" the cell before it even becomes a fetus

Im pretty sure we a know that, but thinking about it really makes you go "why is a damn fetus considered to have the SAME VALUE as a fully grown human?"

Like, its just so weird. Its like if you valued an egg over your chicken. Or milk over your cow. Or an acorn of a tree that produced it.

You CAN NOT tell me that a fetus (especially when its features arent even that formed yet) holds the SAME VALUE AS ME.

Thats like telling someone a little lady bug holds the same value as their life, like wtf?

So I am a clinic escort and have been for many years. The place I work has recently added a Monday to every week. So we are now running 6 days a week. That’s a lot of teams and people that are needed at this clinic alone. And we just got abortion into the constitution here in MO so we will need more but that’s not the point. Just know we are thin on the ground. My first Monday shift was this week. There were four of us and it’s a late start and there’s not a single protester to be seen. It’s marvelous. The weather isn’t perfect but fuck it! No protesters! And then the crazy showed up.

Some random older man, who just looked like he was passing through on his way home. We are in the middle of a medical complex and surrounded by the steel industry but there is a residential area that butts up against us so I assumed he was heading home from QT or Maccas. Then I realized what he was saying. He was almost yelling “HO HO HO MERRY CHRISTMAS“ in a super aggressive way that made me very aware of him. And he had paper under his arm. He rolled one up and shoved it into the handicapped parking sign. So I went to retrieve it. And good lord.

Word salad is the only way I can describe this. He apparently sent a “manifesto” last year that’s a lot of the same. Just the word salad and the attempt to be scary. So this is the stuff I deal with as well as getting people onto the lot safely and to the door safely. I also get the crazy. And we were so close, too! 1145 is when this guy shows up. Be safe out there. They are out there and they aren’t right in the head.

I’m super curious how often have you found out that the person you know irl (friend, relative, classmate, acquaintance, protester, etc) that wants abortion banned, end up getting an abortion at some point in their life? Or make their teenage daughters go get abortions? Or perhaps got an abortion after having an affair?

Hi everyone.

I (22F) found out i was pregnant about two weeks back. my boyfriend and i decided that we would not be having the baby and i would be getting a medical abortion. i’m sad but i know this is the right decision as we just cannot afford to have a baby right now. i came on reddit for some support as i have no one else to speak to about this.

someone recommended that i reach out to Saved by His Grace for support. I did reach out to them but i was honestly shocked at the response. I was paired with a lady that i was told would help and counsel me on the abortion. I told her my story and i told her that i’ve made my decision which is final but i would just like to know what to expect during the abortion, pain and emotions wise.

she then proceeded to list horrible things that could happen during the abortion, such as sepsis, bleeding out, punctured uterus, infection, shock and trauma etc. I know that everyone’s experience is different and some have it worse than others but was it really necessary to list all of the horrible things that are very unlikely to happen?

if that wasn’t bad enough, i was then sent a link to a very traumatic video of a woman getting an abortion in which there’s blood running down her legs and she says “i didn’t think i was going to die this way”

i mean really? for someone that has told you they are getting an abortion what kind of support is that?? i understand that we need to be aware of the risks etc but im just shocked and disappointed.

please let me know if im just being dramatic 🥲

EDIT: For those saying i should have known by the name, i understand where youre coming from, however, I am Christian and this is my first time doing all of this, i hadn’t heard of CPC’s. but i have definitely learnt my lesson now 🙏

I really can't wrap my head around this. Is it because they've been conditioned to think of the fetus as a full baby in there? I don't get why they have such a strong emotional response to a ZEF.

I know this is a weird question, but I have never heard anyone propose it and i want opinions (not medical advice btw). This is not a debate, but I am writing an argumentative paper for my college writing 101 class on how abortion should be legal under all circumstances. Today when dissecting the views of pro-life and pro-choice ideologies in the shower to form a better argument (weird but yapping to myself in the shower has always been a habit when brainstorming writing ideas), I thought back to one picture I saw on reddit a while back... An abnormally lump of flesh that had eyes, teeth, and hair. A fetiform teratoma.

I am not a doctor or medical professional by any means but through my research, fetiform teratomas: are made of living tissue, can develop separate functioning Organs (hair, eyes, teeth, internal organs), relies on carrier similar to a fetus, not always deadly, and is made if hESC (Human embryonic stem cells)...

... So does this mean by pro-life standards that a fetiform teratoma would have a right to live and be carried by the patient forever because it is living? I might be tripping balls here, but by their views of how "all human life is precious", it would be following in those guidelines as being viewed as an independent human that deserves a right to life.

This has led to my mini-rebuttal for the critique of pro-life ideology and it's flaws besides the bodily autonomy, ethical, and moral flaws: "A life's weight can only be decided by the carrier of said life form."

... Chat, am I cooking or am I just crazy?💀💀

Seriously, I can't find any academic or medical papers and journals comparing fetiform teratomas to human feti from a medical and moral standpoint, so if anyone has sources to expand this argument (or break it down bc both sides are appreciated bc idk bro), please comment them because I would love to learn more!😼👍

Hey guys, first ever post here, so sorry if it’s not formatted in a good way. My mom recently told me her story about her abortion and I wanted to share it here.

For context, I’m the oldest of 3. This story took place a little while ago when I was around 8 or 9.

My Mom had just gotten pregnant with what would be her 4th kid. She and my dad were very excited. It was still very early so they didn’t tell me or my sisters yet. Only they knew. They didn’t tell us because they wanted my mom to get a baby bump before telling us so we’d actually believe them. Me and my sister didn’t believe them when we found out our other sister was on the way because there was no bump lol.

As Christmas time approached we were all very excited. That’s when my parents planned to reveal we were getting another sibling, and as kids, we were excited for Christmas. She had a bump at this point but we thought nothing of it as we were kids. But, as the weeks ticked on something went very wrong. The baby’s tissues didn’t develop directly and it died in the womb. It would’ve been stillborn. This crushed my parents. Even worse, they had to induce my mom so the baby didn’t continue to develop and then kill her.

And then something else went wrong at my mom’s next check up, they realized that the baby wouldn’t pass, and would get stuck, and kill her. My mom had to go to the ER to get an emergency abortion. We all piled into the car on December 23rd, and drove to the hospital. My mom’s parents met us there and took me and my sisters to there house and my parents went into the hospital. Me and my sisters didn’t know what was happening, we just thought we were meeting them halfway and my parents were headed home.

My mom went in, and they did the emergency abortion on her. It truly did save her life. She and my dad cried and cried. My parents eventually left the hospital and picked us up from my grandparents house the next day we went home and had a very happy Christmas.

My mom didn’t tell us that there was a 4th kid until I was 12, and she didn’t explain the abortion situation, just that it died before it was born. We were confused and a little sad, but accepted it. It wasn’t until I was 15 my mom told me the full story. She ended it off by telling me that if she couldn’t get that abortion then she, my mom who I love so so so so much, would have died on Christmas Eve in the hospital.

Anytime a pro-lifer comes at my mom she gets EXTREMELY pissed off. Because it’s personal to her. And to me. If abortion becomes illegal, people will die. People like my mom will die from something preventable. Kids like me will lose their parents. Pro-abortion and pro-choice all the way guys.

I know that people are already either not inviting or going to Thanksgiving events that involve people who voted against women for the price of eggs.

How about just not doing anything holiday related including Christmas? Considering women often put in extra work in creating "holiday magic/cheer," I was thinking that maybe this year, there's nothing to cheer about and women just stay in bed and lay flat, and tell everybody "let it rot."

I say this because I remember last year there was a video where every single stocking had something in it except for HERS and she had been the one who did all the decorations and getting the stockings and making sure everybody got something but nobody remember to put anything in hers. THIS is the year to match the energy.

BidenPublishTheERA.org unites many organizations working with the Biden Administration to get him to file the paperwork needed to get this in the US Constitution.

The Equal Rights Amendment is the 28th Amendment, fully ratified and valid. (Source: https://www.americanbar.org/content/dam/aba/administrative/news/2024/am-res/601.pdf)

A purely clerical task is the ceremonial action that starts implementation. That was blocked by Trump, and Biden can unblock it (but hasn't).

We need you to get your friends, coworkers, neighbors, family, kids together--everyone who owns either a pen or a phone--and start contacting the White House every day you can.

Special days of action include:

1. December 6: Text storm - texting as many times per day as you can to 302-404-0880. Suggested wording: "Publish the Equal Rights Amendment now! Women, girls & LGBTQ+ people can't wait any longer."
2. December 10: Mass mail drop - get everyone to mail or email the White House

Notification: https://jessica.substack.com/p/texas-bill-would-ban-pro-choice-websites

"The bill even includes a list of specific websites that would be banned in the state, including: Aid Access, Hey Jane, Plan C Pills, Just the Pill, and Carafem."

Law (Page 24): https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/89R/billtext/pdf/HB00991I.pdf#navpanes=0

TLDR: Antichoice bill.

I went on to https://run.ooni.org/login where I would create a URL to test the sites.
Since my email address would become public, I canceled that plan. I am in no position to post such a thing online.

I figure I would share tools to measure censorship. Consider building a URL from an email that will become public.

So just thinking aloud, but what is their long-term end goal?

Every time I think about it my answer is flat out that the bans won’t help them. Eventually (if things unfortunately keep heading in the same negative political direction) won’t women just want to stop having babies based on the risks being too high? The only goal I could see them accomplishing is decreasing the population…I just don’t get it.
