+1 - and the other thing that's rarely talked about because the whole situation is so horrific is - pregnancy is risky! The woman in that story luckily didn't have any complications during pregnancy or delivery that put her life or health at risk, but the fact is that carrying a pregnancy to term is much riskier than having an abortion. I can't think of anything more pro-life or pro-family than allowing a woman to end a doomed pregnancy without state interference to preserve her health so she can continue to be a mother to her living child or children. |

+4 Maybe that drooling forced birther pp could be bothered to learn about what happens to women who are denied abortion, even garden variety non life-saving abortions. Spoiler alert: women who can’t get the abortions to end a pregnancy they don’t want end up poorer, less healthy - two women actually died from pregnancy and delivery complications, more likely to be abused, their existing children are less likely to hit their milestones. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/05/15/1098347992/a-landmark-study-tracks-the-lasting-effect-of-having-an-abortion-or-being-denied All in all, being a forced birther is in all respects the most incredibly disrespectful to life position a person can take. I just pray that the homeschooled 4th grader who posted that “support life” drivel gets some time on the family desktop to read the NPR link and maybe by the time she gets her first period in a few years she’ll have developed some critical thinking skills, too. |

Wow. Are you always this nasty? It must be really, really hard to be you, and have to live in a world where everyone doesn't agree with you. |

When people tell lies to push their agenda to limit the rights of women and cause babies to die, yeah, I’m less polite. And yes, I’m finding life to be less pleasant when there’s a huge swath of the country that supports this nonsense and tries to gaslight people into thinking bans on abortion protect life. I’m fine with people disagreeing with me, assuming they’re not taking actions that are closing maternity wards or making women carry pregnancies to term so they can watch their baby suffer for 99 minutes before he dies, and then have to pay thousands of dollars for the experience, and field questions from their older children about why the new baby isn’t coming home. For instance, my neighbor really doesn’t think Nate Bargatze is funny and I do. We don’t argue over that, and we still chit and have coffee together. It works out okay between us because he hasn’t been voting to oppress women and make them watch their infants die. Maybe that’s what you’re into though. It’s just not my jam. |
