In Liberia? Do you even hear yourself? |
You know, you don't have to like any of those reasons. You can feel they are totally wrong. People do things I strongly disagree with each and every day, but I wouldn't think of making illegal, like drinking alcohol. |
I do believe "my body my choice." But vaccines affect everyone around you. Abortions don't. I don't believe vaccines can be required to live in the US (my body my choice) but I am ok with restrictions on unvaccinated people by employers and private business because of the fact that unvaccinated people can negatively affect the people around them (my choice=my choice to accept the consequences). A woman's abortion has zero potential to negatively affect the people around her. |
They don’t allow international adoptions? |
Please. I am plenty informed on race and abortion. I read articles like this (from a Black Woman) published seven years ago. You are a) behind in your information about race and planned parenthood and b) misinformed. Do not use Black women to try to further your narratives that deny them healthcare. Let them speak for themselves. https://rewirenewsgroup.com/article/2015/08/20/false-narratives-margaret-sanger-used-shame-black-women/ |
Agreed. |
These are the most common reasons, for sure. But you will never ever find the actual reasons for abortions reported on. |
Are you really comparing an adult drinking alcohol to aborting a baby? |
Well, it affects one other person around her, at least. |
Why is abortion the only type of healthcare for the poor that you are so concerned with? What are you doing to help people who lack access to everyday healthcare? For those who can't get treatment for diabetes, high blood pressure, Lupus, oral health? So many things that have such more greater implications on our society. If you are so concerned about Black women being denied healthcare, what are you doing about it? Besides coming here and posting a link to a heavily heavily biased website. Sanger's character and goals are well known. It is fact. I am not misinformed or behind. You are naive. |
Yes. We are talking about the government being able to enforce what a person can and cannot do with their body. Remember that at one point, alcohol was illegal, because alcohol consumption has extremely negatively consequences for society at large. People die every day from drinking alcohol and from being impacted from those who drink. But we realized that hey, making something illegal isn't the way to deal with this. So yes, they are both good examples of disapproving of a choice but not advocating for criminalizing that choice. |
That wouldn't even win you a regional high debate competition. |
Bingo. |
Not anymore! |
I'm an NP, not OP. The heavily biased website you are referring to was founded and is run by Black women, so if you're going to just dismiss it by calling it biased that means that you are just going to say anything you disagree with is biased. But anyway, abortion access for Black women is not the only type of healthcare I'm concerned about, but it's a huge one. Maternal mortality rates for Black women are horrifying. They are like rates where there is nois three times higher than it is for white women. So, pregnancy is three times (!!!) more likely to result in death for a Black woman than a white woman. |
