It is a common trope that many anti-abortion advocates justify their own abortions by framing it as “the only moral abortion is my abortion.” Most pro-choice advocates instinctively reject this framing of some abortions as permissible and most as problematic. But we need to be careful not to draw upon this framework in our public discourse. As tempting as it may be to use examples of “moral abortions,” such as treatment to save the life of the pregnant person, we need to make it clear that bodily autonomy and a right to access care make all abortions moral.

Yup, preventing abortion by giving abortions. Makes sense!

No you fucking crusty nutsack giving people the education and the tools to not become pregnant in the first fucking place

You miss the point entirely. You’re cool with the killing of developing humans. You’re fucking damaged.

Quick question, as a conservative you also support the military, yes? If so do you condone the killing of live children in countries that house terrorists? Do you support DACA? The program that lets kids who have lived in America their whole lives but born of illegal immigrants stay in America? If any of these answers are no, then you are not pro-life. You are Anti-abortion, and nothing will change the fact that people will get abortions in your life. Not bombing clinics, not making it illegal. Abortions will happen either way, the only thing we as humanity can do is minimize the death toll of the family.

I do NOT support DACA. You NEVER better a country illegally. I guess you’d do it then and expect it all to be fine, right? I do support our troops. All of the actionsnof them, no, but I absolutely do support our men and women in the military. I don’t bomb clinics or support that at All? Bitch, what the fuck? And okay, so because there are a shitload of cowardly women that would try to perform AND survive invasive surgery performed by themselves….and then they don’t? Bruce we they’re trying to kill their unborn fucking baby? It sounds like a Darwin Award to me.

Wow you’re a piece of shit lmao

I’ve never experienced such an extraordinary irony that upon going on your blog, your recent posts detail how you think you accidentally got pregnant by a FWB. I really could not be less surprised considering your vehement ignorance of Planned Parenthood

We really going to ignore the fact that he donated once and is just using the same screenshot over and over?

Edit:

To clarify, I have no issue with someone donating.  I’m pro-choice myself.  The issue is he donates once when he says he’s going to donate each time, just so he can virtue signal about how he refuses to engage with someone.

Furthermore, I have issues with him replying to any criticism with this.  You can criticize the smug pride in not engaging in debate and beating your opposition, yet he’ll assume you’re pro-life as a result.

He’s being a smug prick who is playing you all like a fiddle to get jerked off and you’re all falling for it.

If this is the hill you want to die on, Spidey, go for it. I’m quite happy with the idea of someone donating money to Planned Parenthood, and since I don’t know or care who he is, the virtue signalling is lost on me.

That aside, being suspicious of everyone for any nice act all the time is mentally exhausting so miss me with that.

… I literally say I have no issue with him donating money.

But he’s saying “I’m going to donate every time” and then he posts the same donation page.  So rather than do what he says, he’s donating ONCE and using it to as an own against other people while using it to get ass pats from people who agree with him.

That’s literally the same screenshot, two hours apart.  

This is like “man pledges to build house for every homeless person evicted from X location” except he builds ONE house and takes the same picture of it over and over again, yet claims he’s built 100 houses.  It’s deceptive and he’s doing it to milk people for social praise.

The goal wasn’t to help people, because if it was he’d actually donate every time.  It was to get ass pats.

Shut up

also

define proper diagnosis. I mean, does that just mean the diagnosis you want?

no :) it means going to 10 different doctors who disbelieved your symptoms until the 11th found cysts on your ovaries :) which may mean infertility :) sit on a cactus :)

I call bullshit

Of course you do. Like the first 10 doctors. 😒

I call bullshit on the story. If you think you have an issue you should see a specialist not just your PCP.

Like the 4 “specialists” I saw for the crippling numbness in my face and legs I had for over a year while they told me it was “stress”? When it was finally found that I had scars on my brain and spine? Those “specialists” we’re male neurologist who wouldn’t give me an MRI because “women stress too much”. Go fuck yourself.

MY SPINE WAS BROKEN FOR 2 YEARS BECAUSE MY DOCTORS TOLD ME I JUST HAD BAD CRAMPS AND REFUSED TO TAKE XRAYS. FUCK YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. WHEN WILL BOYS REALIZE THEIR EXPERIENCES ARENT STANDARD???? I ALSO LOVE THIS IDEA THAT YOU CAN JUST GO TO A SPECIALIST WHENEVER YOU WANT LOL IF OUR PCP DOESNT BELIEVE US WHEN WE TELL THEM OUR SYMPTOMS THEY ARENT GONNA REFER US TO A SPECIALIST YOU FUCKING MOLDY WALNUT

My parents began noticing something large in my throat, saw a specialist….Guess what? Told me to lose some weight..even though I wasn’t overweight. I would have my period for weeks at a time. Was told that it was teenage hormones and stress.

Two fucking years later I attempted suicide they ran a battery of tests as required and bam! They find out that I have untreated Hashimoto’s. The “thing” was a goiter. Possible symptoms of an untreated thyroid disease is the goiter, unexplained weight gain, and depression. All they had to do was test my blood, but they said young people don’t have thyroid problems. 😒

Ten years ago, my mother—who is a pretty tough cookie—started feeling both ridiculously wired, anxious, and incredibly emotional. Every doctor she saw told her she was going through early menopause, even though she was still menstruating. Her health declined to point where she was barely sleeping, losing weight, and crying constantly, which was a huge red flag because my mother never cries. Finally, she went to see another doctor 2.5 hours away who referred her to an endocrinologist. And what did the endocrinologist say? He diagnosed her with one of the most advanced cases of Grave’s Disease he had even seen, and said if she had gone just a few more months without being treated, she could have FUCKING DIED. 

Also, it turned out that her thyroid levels had been moving out of the normal range in a progressive pattern for years, but nobody bothered to look at her past test results until after the diagnosis. They would just do a test, see that it was “in the normal range” and leave it at that. She could have caught it before she even had symptoms, instead of basically being accused of having hysteria. 

i had a brain aneurysm/hemorrhage ten years ago, doctors still tell me im faking my disability
BECAUSE YOU CAN TOTALLY FAKE LIMITED MOVEMENT OF THE LEFT SIDE

My sister had intercranial hypertension which was causing headaches, dizzy spells and loss of vision, and you know what the hospital told her? She was being a hysterical girl and making it up.
A few weeks later she spent roughly a month in hospital and had several lumbar punctures to relieve her RECORD HIGH spinal pressure that was causing so much strain on her brain and optic nerves she was being sent blind.

Everytime I see this post (and it’s been a good 5/6 times), it has different stories and experiences of women who have been horribly mistreated by doctors and it just blows my mind that this is so big. It’s absolutely disgusting how terribly women are treated in the medical world and something needs to be done about that.

my friend lea had back pain, then pain in her legs and feet, and then numbness. despite seeing 7 different doctors over 2 years, by the time they found the cancer it was inoperable. chemo and radiation didn’t work. the cancer spread. she died and left behind a 5 year old daughter.

A few years ago I would go through spells where I literally could not stand on my own and I couldn’t get out of bed. I would be freezing and too weak to eat. I would keep having heart palpitations as well. I got up the money to go to a clinic and they told me it was just stress and to basically just work on chilling out. I saved up money for a few weeks to do this and I pretty much get a “chill out” from them.

As time went on it got worse, most noticeably the heart palpitations were happening almost constantly. I went again to a different clinic and was told it was normal and that it was probably stress. They did no tests, and they told me it would “just go away”.

Two weeks later I ended up collapsing going down some stairs, and at the hospital it was discovered that I had such severe anemia that my heart could barely keep up with trying to get enough oxygen to my body. I had developed left ventricular hypertrophy (my heart muscle is too big) and because of them ignoring me and dismissing me I’m at a much higher risk of heart attacks and stroke now.

I went to the doctor with severe intermittent pain in my upper right stomach area that was so bad I had to miss school. Despite the fact that my period has been on a regular 3 month cycle for years, and I still had two months left until my period, my doctor told me it was period related cramps and or indigestion. 2 months later I’m in the hospital getting my gallbladder removed. It was so obstructed that there was gangrene developing my my system.

So…everyone who’s given me shit for that one post (about medicine and equal treatment and shit) can just read this because I’m sick of defending my case.

i know this post is already long but here’s a pretty good article about how gender bias in medicine is quite literally killing women. it focuses a lot on heart attacks but it applies to all areas of medicine

Fuck doctors I mean they’re important but fuck doctors

What specific gun control measures would you propose and how would they directly and effectively make society safer?

• Absolutely get rid of all AR-15′s and the like.
  
• Intense background and criminal background checks and anything violent automatically disqualifies you.
  
• Make getting a gun/gun permit more like getting a driver’s license:
  
• permit to learn
• includes an exam with 18 or more questions on the policies, laws, and etc of guns and gun ownership
• if you get more than 8 questions incorrect you must retake it.
• 30 hours of practical experience at a gun range with a licensed teacher
  
• Must take a 5 hour class on the dangers of guns and how to use them safely which will then yield you a certificate that grants you to take the practical exam and lasts for one year. If you don’t gain the license within the allotted year you must retake the class.
  
• A practical exam with a licensed instructor who will grade you on various skills. If you pass you may be granted a permit on the weapon of your choice, the exams may differ on the type of firearm you want.
  
• Follow the Japanese model where you must have two gun safes in different areas of the house, one to store the gun and one to store the bullets and you must provide the police with information on where those safes are.
  
• No concealed carry and only handguns may be allowed to be out in public.
  
• If transporting a weapon, it must be in the trunk of the vehicle, in a bag or some other case, safety on and unloaded and may not leave the vehicle until you are at the destination.
  
• If you’re a hunter or some other gun hobbyist that requires a functional weapon other than a handgun then the gun must stay on the premises, whether that is a gun range or the Fish and Wildlife facility.
  
• If you live in a rural area where police (and people, for that matter) are few and far between, something akin to a deer hunting rifle should provide plenty of protection from predators and poachers, you still have to follow the aforementioned steps.
  
• This doesn’t cover everything but I think it’s a good place to start.
  

Can you show me evidence that this would directly and effectively create a safer society?

I have never laughed so hard at a gun law post. Like seriously, the evidence is in fucking reality. The proposed restrictions are just fucking logic.

How?

many many many indigenous cultures have historically included more than two genders and to say that those genders do not exist is to say that those cultural traditions are invalid, and that only the imperialist gender binary is correct. which is racism.

THE WESTERN IDEA OF TWO GENDERS IS EXACTLY THAT

WESTERN

THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF CULTURES ACROSS THE WORLD WHO SEE GENDER AS A SPECTRUM OR OTHER FORM OUTSIDE OF TWO GENDERS

Hate to break it to you, but when you terminate your pregnancy that late it’s called ‘Induced Labour’, not an abortion. Literally no doctor is going to use abortion to remove a 39 week gestation fetus. They’ll induce labour.

Try doing some research before acting like this is a thing at all that anyone does. I guaruntee you, no one has aborted a perfectly healthy fetus the day before they were due. Lot’s of people have induced labour, no one has gotten abortions.
