Are you for late-term abortions? - whitecolonialism

—-

I am for access to safe, legal abortions at all stages of the pregnancy. 1.5% of abortions take place after the 20th week - generally considered “late term” abortions. All of them fall into one of the following categories:

• The fetus has a terminal or chronic illness
• The mother’s life is at risk if she continues the pregnancy
• The mother was not able to get an abortion sooner

A big misconception is that women are cavalierly aborting pregnancies when they’re 8 months along because they changed their mind about it. That just… that just doesn’t happen. It’s almost always life of the mother/life of the fetus, and the remainder are people who could not get an abortion sooner (because they couldn’t afford the procedure or afford to travel to the nearest provider). It seems like the majority of Gosnell’s patients fell into that last category. Access to safe, legal abortions in their area would have prevented those crimes from happening.

Here are two stories about women who got late-term abortions. I support abortion at every stage of the pregnancy to protect women like them.

Isn’t it odd how everyone that supports abortion has already been born?

Strangely, everyone who opposes abortion has also been born. It’s almost like you have to be born to have opinions… like it’s part of the basic definition of being a person or something. I’m so glad you pointed that out. It’s a really great point.

hey what if someone invented a machine that allowed women to transfer their pregnancies to men and then the government passed a law that if a woman didn’t want to have a baby the biological father was required to carry it how fast do you think birth control would stop being an issue

My grandmother’s story (via paranormal-intercourse)

prochoicetruth:

My grandmother, who’s a devout Christian born in Texas in 1929, has always been very open minded. She’s not racist or homophobic, most likely because as a Mexican she knew what it was like to face discrimination, but she’s extremely pro-choice, and a few years ago she told us why.

When she was a preteen (11-13), she moved to San Francisco and lived in an apartment building for some time, the woman in the apartment next to her was a young single nurse living on her own. This woman was very friendly, hard not to like.

After a while my grandmother noticed she hadn’t seen the nurse in some time, as did other people in the building. Around the time my grandmother was wondering where she went, she began to notice a bad smell coming from what seemed like somewhere in the apartment. As time went on the smell got worse, until her family realized it was coming from the apartment next to them, the nurse’s home.

When they broke the door down they found the nurse dead in her bathroom, the smell was from her body beginning to rot.

Turns out that the nurse had gotten pregnant from a very high up MARRIED doctor at the hospital she worked at. Of course in that time having a baby out of wedlock, especially from a married man, was something extremely shameful, so she had tried to give herself a home abortion and died in the process.

My grandmother never forgot what had happened to the nurse, and that was the reason she was and still is vehemently pro-choice.

When people say shit like “Our generation survived Roe V Wade” it makes me want to tear my hair out. These people, either out of ignorance or just plain stupidity, don’t acknowledge the FACT that Roe V Wade wasn’t the start of abortion, it was the LEGALIZATION of it. 

LEGALIZATION MEANING THAT IT HAD ALREADY BEEN HAPPENING, NOW IT WAS JUST LEGAL TO DO IT.

Before Roe V Wade women like my grandmother’s neighbor were dying or being mutilated by home abortions or unlicensed doctors. Women are going to get abortions whether it’s legal or not, the best thing you can do for them is to give them a safe, clean environment with a licensed doctor and good moral support.

Anything less is simply a death sentence.

“Women as Livestock” Bill passes in Georgia

After an emotional 14-hour workday that included fist-fights between lobbyists and a walk-out by women Democrats, the Georgia House passed a Senate-approved bill Thursday night that criminalizes abortion after 20 weeks.

The bill, which does not contain rape or incest exemptions, is expected to receive a signature from Republican Gov. Nathan Deal.

HB 954 garnered national attention this month when state Rep. Terry England (R-Auburn) compared pregnant women carrying stillborn fetuses to the cows and pigs on his farm. According to Rep. England and his warped thought process, if farmers have to “deliver calves, dead or alive,” then a woman carrying a dead fetus, or one not expected to survive, should have to carry it to term.

I live in Georgia. I’ve had an incomplete miscarriage. This horrifies and sickens me. 

Tell me again how there’s no War on Women. I dare you.

I bolded what was used to justify this form of legislation.

If a cow can give birth to a stillborn calf, then a pregnant person should also have to give birth to a stillborn fetus because pregnant people are the same as cows and have no emotions.

Love,

Rabble

Wow. No. Goddamnit, Georgia.

Couldn’t not post this.

This is missing Barbara Bush - she’s pro-choice too. 

It’s also worth mentioning that McCain’s daughter, Meghan is pro-choice too — and George W. Bush’s daughter, Barbara, is super pro-LGBT rights.

It’s almost as if they have something in common…like some sort of organ or something that their husbands/fathers don’t understand…

That’s an interesting observation… but it probably means nothing.

Must just be the ol’ ladybrain acting up again.
