Because these aren't "pro-lifers", they are pro-religion and pro-control. They don't give two shits what happens to the baby after it's born, and certainly not the mother during pregnancy, nor the nearly two decades afterward. I am livid.

I'm a "Rebecca" and thank you

At te same time they tell adult women (in their 20-40s) that they are not mature enough to consent to sterilisation "because they might change their mind".

Can't use that last word. That's a scary, yucky word and they'd rather women didn't have them (by virtue of being pregnant all the f-ing time) so they don't have to think about normal bodily functions and normal bodily autonomy. I'm very angry right now.

Repeat that last bit louder for the twatwaffles at the back. Some of them would clearly prefer more corpses.

It’s not a person though, and that matters especially because this is also a human discussion. Someone who refuses to donate blood to their living, breathing child is not someone I want to be in the same room as. I don’t think they should face legal punishment but I would wish them nothing but absolute misery in life. A woman who gets an abortion is not hurting anyone and should not be put in that category.

Lydia Falcón in 1984: we cannot continue giving birth if we want to reach the status of human being.

Come on, everyone. Let's vote this into the top ten!

They are doing nothing but driving women into back alley clinics, which could kill them

Except for vaccine mandates. In that case, you'll do what your told.

Hang on ... you just made the perfect point why abortion is evil when you wrote: "nobody has the right to use your body against your will". The unborn child did not appear out of the blue and became a parasite on your body. You put it there! By putting it there, you consented to it's use of your body. If you did not consent, you should have not put it there. That is exactly the whole reasoning on why abortion is evil!

Isn't that an argument for more rights for animal?

And it's not about mothers either. They could not give less of a f**k about the actual human being who owns the womb.

This is the first domino in the disgusting conservative agenda. They'd love nothing more than to bring back the scenario of keeping women in the homes -pregnant, in the kitchen, no voice - religious rule over all, and by god, every gay back into the dark closet! They have become the most extreme political group in this country. The overturning of Roe V. Wade will fuel their fear and hate filled agenda.

THIS!!!!!

Amen. The party for hypocrisy..."Government can't tell me what's right for my body, no government can force me to get a vaccine" r****d ferals who now want to be involved in someone else's most private medical decisions

Thank you!

Can we stop using pro-life and pro-choice? There's only one pro- anything; pro-control_over_things_that_are_none_of_your_goddam_business

This should be higher! And please read the rules of every health related app you have. They often sell your datas to other firms!

Unfortunately true😑

I currently have 25 active fibroids in my uterus. That doesn't include the already calcified ones. If I were to somehow get pregnant either myself or the embryo would be in danger.

One of the first Laws that Nelson Mandela rescinded when he was President of South Africa was the ban on abortion. This from a man who was in prison for 27 years. I do not live in an easy country - murder, assault, rape, rioting, etc - that law is still in power. Young girls as young age as, 12/13, can be given an abortion without parental permission, as they fear reprisal from the toxic masculinity and feminine, too sometimes. I am disgusted by THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THIS POSSIBLE OUTCOME AND FOR THE COUNTRY AS THE MOST EDUCATED, GOD-FEARING ENTITIY ON THIS EARTH.

Badass

Thats probably next.. giving the men the right to refuse payments if they dont want the baby ...

It’s scary that some states will not let you abort if you are a victim of rape/incest. What are they expecting someone in that position to do? Suck it up, give birth and then deal with it on their own?

Husband permission? WTF

Robert Reich is the reason I still have hope in the USA.

Louder for the people in the back

The fact that these women *need* escorts is outrageous. The whole Roe V. Wade situation is a snapshot of the larger battle of women who have had to constantly fight for simple, basic rights. We should be more advanced than this!

Highest infant mortality rate in the developed world. Huge difference, in South Sudan the rate is over 60 times that of the US.

Excellent question.

This is how you know it's not about "innocent lives" and about control.

LOUDER FOR THOSE IN THE BACK!!!

I guess according to the pro life logic, that baby will be brought to trial as soon as he/she is born.

Religion was created by men to control others. It is the most wicked thing to ever exist. Religion should be outlawed. It has caused more grief, murder and pain than anything else on earth.

Nope - the combined "f**k off", "Not your concern", and "mind your own business" segments should make up 99% of this graph - with the remaining 1% concerning someone else being the doctor having to help make the decision (for medical reasons where the woman wouldn't realise she'd die without it - I had never heard of a septic uterus, for example, so wouldn't be in a position to "choose" abortion unless the doctor advises that were the case)

This is sick. R*pe is permitted in the military. Sick.

Yes, Biden needs to step up and do the job he was elected for, not still be telling people they need to vote again to make their feelings known. They already did that and that's why Democrats have the White House, the Senate, and the House right now. He needs to do his damned job, and step up to do the right thing. He needs to kill the filibuster, the electoral college needs to be dissolved, ban corporate political donations, remove lifetime judicial appointments, and every living adult U.S citizen needs to have the right to vote, with no exceptions.

I had a pregnancy terminated because the heart valves were missing on the fetus. It wasn't going to live. I had the nursery all done up and was looking forward to finding out the sex so I could start buying clothes. I was devastated. If I would've carried the baby to term there's a possibility that it could've caused sepsis and I would die. If it didn't I would be giving birth to a dead baby. Now Brett the beer man and Gorsuch seem to think their opinions are more important than women like me and our existence. Fu*k 'em.

Tell him to f-off.

I was against many things until one day I realized "hey...that's none of my business. It doesn't affect me at all". Whether or not Sandy down the street gets an abortion has zero impact on my life, but it has a massive impact on Sandy's life, so Sandy should be the only person that gets to decide what to do.
