Good. Her tweet was badly worded and she should know better, because there’s a heap of bad faith bigots obsessed with her. Look at how many media articles falsely claim she said something about “Jewish money” when she never did. Islamophobia is both socially acceptable and widely dispersed in the pundit class. Read more

I want about 200 more of her and AOC in the House. 30 in the Senate. Read more

He tried to have his 2nd daughter aborted but her mother ran off to the other side of the country. His insane mentally ill supporters don’t care though, some of them even claim he was sent by God to save the USA. A man who devoted his entire life to sin is now someone the chosen savior to them.

People who want to pop off about abortion without the slightest bit of nuance or application of logic can go fuck themselves. That goes double for those fortunate enough to have never been in the position of having a child brought to term in a irreversibly vegetative state or with anomalies that cause the baby to live Read more

The BEST thing that blog for what has now become feminine fluff pieces and “let’s tear down female celebs,Jezebel, ever published was Jia Tolentino’s piece on a late term procedure. Each and every supporter of this shit stain on the Republic should be forced to listen to a reading of the piece in the presence of Read more

“If the fetus is nonviable, why do you need to kill it? Just let the baby die.” Read more

Just fuck all these people. I have no patience for this bullshit. Trivializing the agonizing circumstances that leads to these decisions to score cheap political points, all through use of a sexist trope, is awful. Fuck everyone who peddles this nonsense and fuck Trump (although I know he’s too stupid and has too Read more

What’s the over/under on abortions Trump has paid women to have? 7? Read more

NPR’s On Point had a discussion about abortion last night, and it was a clear example of how the abortion debate goes. “The fetus can feel pain at 20 weeks so abortion should be criminalized.” “The structures that allow a fetus to feel pain don’t develop until much later in development.” “The fetus can feel pain much Read more

Something that continues to surprise me (and it really shouldn’t, but it does) is just how little information some people have on what abortifacient procedures are, how they work, and under which conditions different types of procedures are performed.

The easy—and dishonest—canard of “abortion kills a baby” is trotted Read more

Using a rapper’s lyrics to intimate someone’s in the pocket of PACs: racism.

My mother had to abort what would have been my baby sister for similar reasons. She had severely deformed internal organs, and a large cyst that destroyed most of her brain. Carrying her to term would have been unspeakably cruel for everyone involved. My parents’ dream of adding a sweet little girl alongside their Read more

So I think these people won’t be deterred because they come from a place where they think abortion is murder. So, in no way would you ever advocate for the legal murder of 4 year olds, they view it the same. They also believe their should be no exceptions for rape and incest. I know people who believe that. So for Read more

How anyone is fooled by conservative rhetoric baffles me. To actually believe that someone is callously killing babies moments before birth, you have to believe that a woman actively wanted to experience nine months of discomfort and anticipation but then... changed their mind on a whim? Read more

To suggest women get these abortions frivolously is just stupidity. It’s like saying that some people get root canals for shits and giggles. Read more

What you’re doing is essentially wondering what safeguards are in place to prevent a woman from aborting, late in her pregnancy, a perfectly viable fetus when there is no apparent danger to her health. The safeguard is “doctors” and that no medical doctor will perform an abortion in this case. The other safeguard is Read more

The procedure that would be followed would differ by provider and hospital. There’s a case in the documentary ‘After Tiller’ that exemplifies this - a french woman with a healthy 35 wk pregnancy requests an abortion and the provider refuses to do it because it’s not safe. There is a ‘point of no return’ of sorts, but Read more

I had an abortion at 15 weeks to remove my already dead fetus. Although it was simple and quick the process, quite frankly, sucked. It hurt, I felt sick and sore for a couple of days afterwards. Read more
