[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know of a good lawyer to follow on Twitter about the abortion fight? I follow Marc Elias for info on voting rights lawsuits and it makes me feel so much better to hear from someone "in the trenches" actually doing something. Anyone similar for abortion lawsuits?[/quote]

At first I found “pregnant people” tedious, but a shocking number on the right wing actually need reminders that cis/straight women are, in fact, people, as opposed to hosts for the glorious, God-sustained fetus. To say nothing of the folks that don’t identify as women. So I’m ok with it. Pregnant humans, citizens that are pregnant, humans that are actively sustaining potential humans by their blood and organs, whatever it takes. [/quote]

Potential human? A human is a human. Nothing on earth changes from non-human to human. [/quote]

No. Stop it.

It is not equal to the women carrying it.

WOMEN FIRST![/quote]

Nothing is human until it is born. If it can't survive on its own it is not human.[/quote]

A 6 month old baby is born and can’t survive on his or her own. A born toddler or preschool child is born but can’t survive on his or her own. Apparently according to dcum baby killers, those children aren’t human.

A baby inside it’s mom is a human in early stages of development. Thread calling people monsters is really monsters openly admitting they don’t feel babies aren’t human and are ok with killing them. Sick people here.

Adult humans on life support can’t survive on his or her own, do they lose the human classification during that time? What about children that mature into adults but are born with physical or mental disabilities and will never be able to care for themselves? Are they human?

Those 6 month old babies can be taken care of by anyone, same with adults on life support. They are born and of this world. They do not rely on the body of one particular human being.

When you are pitting an actual woman born and living in this world against a zygote that can only continue to grow by borrowing her body, and concluding that the zygote is more important, then you are dehumanizing the woman by denying her ability to decide for herself if she is going to loan her body for a potentially lethal process.

As someone who suffered through a terribly difficult pregnancy that left life-long physical health problems in me, I say a big FU to people who don't recognize the humanity and autonomy of women who aren't willing to go through the disruption and adversity of 9 months of pregnancy, the suffering of giving birth, and the challenges of post-partum recovery that will never return you to your pre-pregnancy body.  You are horrible people.[/quote]
