no one has the right to control my life whether i am inside a woman’s body or not. i have my own, my own fate, and my own mind, and my OWN body. i am not apart of a woman’s body, i am my own body. no one gets to decide whether i live or die. my life is more important than your choice

If you are inside of my body I have every right to remove you, because you are in MY body. The fact that you have your own body is irrelevant if you are INSIDE of MINE. 

Why did the op erase the pregnant person? Oh that’s right. 

The pregnant person is an autonomous being with full rights that supercede the right of anyone or anything else using it’s body with out it’s persmission. 
It is not complicated.

Daily Kos: Extremists in Ohio Senate vote to defund Planned Parenthood, and that's not the worst of it

It’s just one more effort by extremist forced-birthers to place abortion out of reach of women who cannot, for whatever reasons—typically financial or age-related—travel to another state where the procedure is more easily obtained.

Where Ohio decides that women should die rather receive medical care. Or even truth.

All-Male House Subcommittee Votes To Ban Abortions Nationwide

thepoliticalfreakshow:

An all-male House Judiciary subcommittee on Tuesday approved legislation that would impose a new nationwide restriction on abortion.

By a party line vote of 6-4, the House Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice approved a bill that would ban abortions nationwide after 20 weeks of pregnancy. The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act is based on the belief that fetuses are capable of experiencing pain after 20 weeks gestation.

When Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) first proposed the legislation, it only would have covered the District of Columbia. But Franks successfully pushed for the bill to apply nationwide following the conviction of abortion provider Kermit Gosnell.

“The trial of Kermit Gosnell exposed late abortions for what they really are: relocated infanticide,” Frank said Tuesday in a statement. “I pray we use this as a ‘teachable moment,’ in the words of President Obama, and can agree that, at the very least, we are better than dismembering babies who can feel every excruciating moment.”

Opponents of the legislation argue that it is unconstitutional because of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Roe v. Wade, which prohibits states from banning abortion until the fetus is viable outside the womb. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals struck down a similar law in Arizona’s last month.

“It is astonishing that the Subcommittee on the Constitution would support such a clear affront to the U.S. Constitution — especially when everywhere similar laws have been challenged in the courts, they have been immediately blocked,” said Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights.

Adoption>Abortion

that-mouthy-christian:

I don’t care if giving your child up for adoption is the “harder” choice than the *choice to abort, sometimes decisions in life are hard but that doesn’t make them the wrong decision.

Choosing to give up your child over abortion may be the harder choice but it’s the better choice and out of the two, it’s the only right choice.

It may be easier to kill your child, but it doesn’t make it right.

HOW DO YOU NOT GET THIS?

Because I myself am adopted. I know that my birth mother was denied the option of abortion and I suffer the health consequences of an unwanted pregnancy.
That the adoption situation in our nation is appalling, because all the white saviors want perfectly healthy white (or custom ethnic) babies. And not babies that have health issues because their mothers did not want to carry them.

You clearly have no idea who the adoption can be hard on. And it is clear that you do not care about those resulting babies.

oh-snap-pro-lifers:

I’m watching this episode of My 600lb Life and when the woman Melissa got under 200lbs she got pregnant. 3-4 weeks into the pregnancy they couldn’t find a heartbeat so she had a D&C.

When mother was pregnant with my little sister, her 5th child,…

You know… my body didn’t really decide to miscarry my dead baby. It was physically horrible.

This is why we need better education. Good lord.

What if gun control laws were like abortion laws?

moniquill:

(TW: Gun violence, TW: Medical procedures)

fuckyeahfeminists:

What if gun rights were regulated like abortion rights? Here’s a list of just some of the hoops you’d have to jump through before you could own a gun:

  • Only one store in the entire state would sell guns. (See: Mississippi, Arkansas, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming for states with only one abortion provider.)
  • You’d have to fill out an enormous personal background check including intrusive personal information that has nothing to do with your ability to own or use a gun. Then you’d have to wait at least 72 hours and come back to the store. (Remember, it’s the only one in the state. You better hope you don’t live on the other side of Wyoming.)
  • Upon your return, you’d have to sit through intensive mandatory counseling. Your counselor, regardless of his personal beliefs, would have to tell you that gun ownership is actually a bad idea, and that it would negatively effect your mental health to own a gun. (This, despite there being no scientific evidence to support the claim.)
  • Next, you’d sit through a gruesome movie showing the actual aftermath of domestic gun crimes. You’d see people with half a head. You’d see dead children in their beds. You’d see the bloody aftermath of a school shooting. You’d be shown statistic after statistic warning you that you’d be contributing to this morally degenerate sanctioning of murder.
  • If you lived in Virginia, you’d have to come back (again) for an invasive and uncomfortable fMRI (which costs around $300 out of your pocket) to ensure your honesty in answering all the background check information and your intentions to use your gun responsibly. (This was as close as I could get to the invasive transvaginal procedure included in the recently passed Virginia bill.)
  • Oh… and if you were married, your spouse might have to sign off on your gun ownership.

But WHY is it so hard to accept that a man can have a say in abortion? WHY? Because they don’t have a uterus? Sure you tell me “Oh it’s feminism,” but take a look at what you’re doing. It takes TWO PEOPLE to make a child. A man and a woman. Leaving a man out of it because they are a man is called SEXISM.

choosechoice:

Because the man is not the one whose body is being reshaped, reformed, and taken over for 40 weeks.

Because he has no right to re-appropriate MY body as HIS personal baby-making machine. 

Because the physical impact of pregnancy and childbearing is 100% on the mother; giving him the dominion to decide if she should have to go through that against her will is kin to reproductive slavery.

A couple can discuss what happens in their relationship. But it is always the pregnant persons right to have the final say in what happens to their body.

You see, if I were to get pregnant again, it is not my husband who could die.

“ [TW: Rape]

‎”In the event that you are watching me scream about abortion online, you should know that SB134, HB1037 (Fetal Pain Bill) and HB1098 (the Fetal Heartbeat Bill) have NO EXEMPTIONS FOR RAPE, INCEST, OR LIFE OF THE MOTHER. Also, in case you’re wondering, Arkansas grants rapists PATERNITY RIGHTS. This means a few things:

1.) If the fetus is not viable, women will have to CARRY THEM TO TERM, which is an undue psychological and physical burden.
2.) If the mother is dying, the physician will be criminalized for performing a late-term abortion.
3.) Abortion will be illegal after 6 weeks (way before most people know they’re pregnant). Women will start to die again through self-inflicted abortions.
4.) Given that men make more money in the state of Arkansas, rapists will often get CUSTODY of their children or full visitation rights.

If this seems humane, then you should probably de-friend me. Like, now.”

New Mexico Bill Would Criminalize Abortions After Rape As 'Tampering With Evidence'

abaldwin360:

huffpostpolitics:

motherjones:

Women. Serving as voiceless repositories of forensic material since forever. Sigh.

Hey everybody, a fetus is a human life! Just like an adult citizen!

Hey everybody, a fetus is physical evidence! Just like fingerprints or a confiscated bong!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance

What the FUCK is wrong with these people???

And republicans wonder why people think they’re assholes.

Because heaven forbid a victim have the right to heal in any way…
This is not about evidence… it is about controlling victims and hurting women*

weirderthanmost:

abortion is a disgusting,shameful thing

NO! For many many people it is a live saving thing.

You are making a medical procedure that gives women* full control over their health a shameful thing. You are shaming strangers for having a medical procedure you do not approve of.

There is never any shame in doing what is best for your self, for your family.
