They don’t like women having orgasms.
pro-life my ass!
they don't like women
One woman I spoke to broke down crying when I told her the nearest clinic was ten hours away. I informed her that there was another group who could help arrange travel, and yet another group that existed soley to provide lodgings. It didn’t matter. She couldn’t take that time off work. The call ended with her saying she would find another way. She didn’t mean she would go to a CPC and they would magically help her carry to term (cause they never do, the “help” stops the moment you are too far along for an abortion). She meant she was going to risk her life and her health. She was going to seek out a back-alley abortion, because legislators had systematically taken away all of the clinics she could have gone to in her area a few years ago. I keep hoping this woman calls us back.
This is an incredible and important post about abortion funds, restrictive legislation on abortion, and the harsh realities of living in the USA right now.
[NB: more people than just cis women want and need access to abortion care.]

70,000 pregnant people die around the world every single year from illegal abortion. They leave behind 220,000 kids since 61% of people seeking abortions are already parents. So you’ve got dead parents, dead fetuses, and orphaned kids. What part of that sounds “Pro-Life” to you?

They don’t like rape victims
Rebecca Kiessling’s entire argument here is that rape victims who have abortions are monsters who should feel ashamed and probably don’t know what’s best for themselves anyway. She accuses them of unjustly inflicting cruel and unusual punishment/the death penalty against fertilized eggs, then snottily tells a rape victim who nearly died from her illegal abortion, “I am very sorry, Gloria, for the loss of your son or daughter. You may not think their life matters, but you know what? That matters to me.” As for Gloria’s life? Not worth a mention, apparently.

I fixed their graphic for them:
Made this today, lol.
WTF @ this guy telling a woman she’s being insensitive by not feeling sad about her own miscarriage. Insensitive to whom? Herself? Pro-lifers? Baby Jesus? Who the hell knows.
He also tweeted “too bad your child would of had a brother or sister,” but smartly deleted it after it was pointed out that trying to make a woman feel bad about a miscarriage is pretty fucked up.
Women = the devil
Completely selfless
ATTENTION LADIES: Like taking the occasional moment for yourself? Maybe reading a book or watching a favorite TV show? Enjoy making decisions for yourself once in a while? Well, don’t bother with @Toupsfamily, because only women who are completely selfless get him going. Try not to cry yourself to sleep tonight over this tragic loss.
I’ve never had an abortion, but that’s not good enough for pro-lifers! Even responsibly using birth control to prevent pregnancy is OMG ABORSHUN & MURDER in their wackydoodle world. Yeah. Use birth control, like 99% of women? MURDERARRR!! These are not people who need to be making laws for the rest of us.
And for the record: IUDs work by destroying sperm & egg cells before conception. One study found that women using no birth control conceived in up to 57% of cycles, while women using IUDs conceived in 0.9% of cycles. In other words: IUDs are so good at killing sperm, a woman using one can go 100 months without ever conceiving, while a sexually active woman using no birth control can conceive and flush out an embryo in her menstrual flow every other month.
If pro-lifers were honestly worried about embryos, they’d support IUD use. (Hell, all birth control use.) But they’re more concerned with restricting women’s rights and opportunities in life. All that stuff about “babies” and “killing” is bullshit.
