#roe v wade saves lives

One of the most common reasons I hear for people being against abortion is because “life is sacred.”
Really? Since when? When has life ever been sacred in this country?
If life is sacred, how come we don’t have universal healthcare?
If life is sacred, how come we don’t pass comprehensive gun laws so first graders don’t get gunned down in their classrooms?
If life is sacred, why don’t we offer paid maternal leave so mothers can actually take care of the babies that you are now forcing them to have?
If life is sacred, how come we don’t bat an eye when the police murder black kids?
If life is sacred, why do we have the highest maternal death rate in the developed world, which is only going to increase now that women are being forced to give birth?
If life is sacred, why is the death penalty even still a thing?
If life is sacred, why are we still encouraging violence against the LGBTQ+ community?
Life has literally never been sacred in this country. Maybe anti-choicers like to pretend that it is because it makes them feel righteous when in reality, they’re just misogynistic pieces of shit, but it’s not. And as long as psychotic, reactionary morons continue to steal power undemocratically and make decisions that the majority of us do not want, it never will be.

abortion is NOT just a womens rights issue. trans men, trans masculine, nonbinary, genderqueer, agender, and multigender people NEED to be included in conversations surrounding abortion and reproductive rights. and we NEED to be included in your activism. this kind of reproductive healthcare isn't just something that cis women need, and trans people are already denied access to it enough as it is. so please, PLEASE include us in your conversations about it. gender inclusive language saves lives

Why abortion should be legal:
Bodily autonomy is a human right. No human being can use the body/tissues of another human being, dead or alive, without initial and ongoing consent.
Everything else is a lovely bonus and fallout. That is why it should be legal. It’s a human right. Full stop.

The Church of Satan is doing everything they can to protect women's rights. We can too. The link below has a map of protests and other things near you where we can make a difference in our own areas or virtually. Don't let them Surpeme Court take away women's rights and overturn Roe v Wade. We the people can make a difference.

This. They really don't believe their own bullshit:
Brandy Bottone was driving in the HOV car-pool lane on a Dallas expressway last month when she was stopped by a sheriff’s deputy at a checkpoint to see if there were at least two occupants in the vehicle as mandated by Texas law.
She recounted to The Washington Post that the deputy asked her, “Is it just you or is someone else riding with you.?”
“I said, ‘Oh, there’s two of us,’” Bottone said. “And he said, ‘Where?’”
Bottone, who was 34 weeks pregnant at the time, pointed to her stomach. Even though she said her “baby girl is right here,” Bottone said one of the deputies she encountered on June 29 told her it had to be “two bodies outside of the body.” While the state’s penal code recognizes a fetus as a person, the Texas Transportation Code does not.
“One officer kind of brushed me off when I mentioned this is a living child, according to everything that’s going on with the overturning of Roe v. Wade. ‘So I don’t know why you’re not seeing that,’ I said,” she explained to the Dallas Morning News, the first to report the story.
Bottone was issued a $215 ticket for driving alone in the two-or-more occupant lane — a citation she told local media she’d be challenging in court this month. ”I will be fighting it,” Bottone, 32, of Plano, Tex., said to The Post.

It seems like there’s a misconception out there, especially amongst certain flavors of Christianity, so I’m going to set the record straight:
if you tell someone you will pray for them, they say, “No, I don’t receive that,” and you insist on praying for them anyway, not only are you disrespecting someone else’s boundaries, you’re essentially just masturbating at Jesus and using his name to make yourself feel good.
And that’s pretty gross.
Anyway, hope this helps.

‘but what about the people that will suffer and die because of abortion bans?’
like... they know, dude. they already know.
#'obviously medical emergencies are tragic and should be exceptions' they're not though?? they're not an exception under abortion bans#'yeah :( it's really sad :( but what can you do :('#anyway I'm dead inside!#'stop arguing about whether or not a fetus is a person the legal point is bodily autonomy'#I know this and I understand this#but it turns out that the philosophical question of whether my life has more or less value than a potentiality matters very much to me#what is there to even talk about. what do you even say. they're just flipping the switch on the trolley tracks#on a legislative level it's about controlling and punishing women with trans people and kids as collateral damage that doesn't bother them#but like 'politicians are evil' is existentially pretty easy to reckon with#on a pro-life Regular Person level it's about my entire human existence being worth less than any two unwanted pregnancies#if I die of an ectopic pregnancy because I couldn't get an abortion#I have friends who love me who would say it wasn't right or fair but that it doesn't change anything re: legality of abortion access#how do I reconcile that. how do I reconcile that.#god. ask to tag I guess#I'm so tired. I'm so tired.#roe v wade was ruled 20 years before I was born and I live in a state where it's never (afaik) been strongly challenged#I really wasn't prepared for this to be... you know.... yet another rock in my own personal anxiety bucket#'there are women who will kill themselves' THEY KNOW! 'there are child rape victims' THEY FUCKING KNOW. THEY KNOW. IT DOESN'T TIP THE SCALES#'well only 3% of abortions are performed to save the mother's life so' oh. oh. this conversation is over forever huh

Dear all of you so-called “pro-life” assholes, read this article. And then read it again. This is your fucking legacy. You’ve created a country where every single pregnancy, planned or not, will be scrutinized, policed, and monitored by the state. You’re not “saving babies”, you’re murdering women and anyone capable of getting pregnant. In the words of George Carlin, you’re not pro-life, you’re anti-woman. Anyone who supports this is pure fucking evil and I hope you burn in hell.

Y’know, on some issues there IS no so-called “middle ground,” only action, extreme action, and inaction. And you better know the issue before you choose inaction.

The Cost Of Giving Birth (in the usa)
American heath care is a complete joke! Giving birth is quite possibly the most common shared painful experience there is. But after all that pushing and possible tearing and the risk of bleeding to death you have your baby. Then comes the after pain; the bill! 
Suppose everything is perfect and you have no complications here is your bill  for a Vaginal delivery $13,024.
 Oh no you needed a C-section? Don't worry it will just set you back  $22,646. Oh you want to hold the baby that was just cut out of you? That's another $40
Well no worries you can just pay for a mid wife its you best bet a a measly  $2,000.
