bannerofthecross:
Because of that, this will be my only post for the day, I will remain silent during the day and online. Pray for the right to life
Welp, you’ve already fucked up being silent, haven’t you? Those fetuses don’t “just get one post,” do they?

Mitt Romney to woman with a life-threatening...
jessicavalenti:
I’ve noticed that some blogs and publications have taken notice of a particular section from this New York Times piece on Mitt Romney and abortion:
Mormons oppose abortion, except in extreme cases like rape, incest or where the life of the woman is in danger — and require that church elders be consulted. In 1990, Exponent II, a Mormon feminist magazine that Ms. Dushku, the...

Anonymous asked: What is your opinion on those Anti-Choicers who suggest adoption as an alternative to abortion?

Hi, Mommy! I'm not a sentient being!
urge2kill:
You can go ahead and abort me if you want to. If not, that’s cool, too. I wouldn’t really know because I am just a mass of cells right now and cannot think. So, do whatever you need to do.
Also, I am not capable of love or pain.
And I’m eating all your food.
And you might die if things get hairy in here.
Also I’m sorry if I incorrectly identified you as mommy. I forgot that...

North Carolina Pro-Life License Plates Challenged →
celticthistle:
starlite0816:
The ACLU sued North Carolina for approving a “Choose Life” specialty license plate but “expressly and repeatedly” rejecting a pro-choice plate. The ACLU sued on behalf of four state residents after lawmakers rejected six proposals for plates bearing words such as “Respect Choice” or “Trust Women; Respect Choice.” Link to article in title.
Good. That shit is...

"Feminists" for Life trolling on Facebook
People who follow my personal Tumblr probably saw me complaining about this guy last night. This is a cisman from my intro to Women’s Studies course who feels the need to butt in and express his opinions on what feminism is, should be, and means to women.
He brought up “Feminists” for Life in class, and I took him down. He then posted this link to my FB wall and tried to argue...

Mommy, Why Did You Kill Me? ProLife!

Pretend time is fun.
My favorite is the pumpkin. That poor thing has millions of times more cells than a fetus.

goodbyeomelas:
Anti-choicers, pay attention to how big the human egg cell is (i.e. about 5 times smaller than a grain of salt.) That would be what the ebil, ebil Plan B “kills”.
So where’s the pro-paramecium-life movement?

Birth control pill still = abortion
tehsunshine:
badp:
The original post got quite a reaction. Now here is some science to back up my statement:
All right, I’m going to need Dwight Schrute to help me point out what is fact and what is false. (And what is bears, beets, and Battlestar Galactica).
Fact #1: Hormonal birth control pills do not always prevent ovulation.
Fact #2: When ovulation occurs, the ovum (egg) can...

Facebook note: "Rape Does Not Justify Abortion" →
Yeah, so this group posted a note that opens with the argument that “only” ~1% of abortions are for cases of rape, implying “fuck those bitches, since there aren’t that many of them why should they have choices?”
The remainder is the same anti-choice drivel about how abortion hurts women and that somehow being forced to carry one’s rapist’s fetus will...

A “mega-analysis” of biased studies with flawed methodologies? Oh my, your liberal use of SI prefixes has certainly proven me wrong!
Oh wait, no it hasn’t. Teams of leading experts in psychiatry, psychology, and medicine have independently concluded again and again for the past three decades that abortion poses no long-term risk to an individual’s mental health. And one...
Anonymous asked: So in RS, we were doing a topic on the Value of Life, and the teacher drew a scale on the board from most valuable to most valueless, and a bunch of titles like "teacher, doctor, burglar, foetus". We were given 5 minutes to think about it, and then we had to go up and put these titles on the scale. I went up, and put all of the titles at most valuable - except for the foetus, which I put...

About that eagle analogy...
Just wanted to point out that there’s no law against the eagle pushing the eagle egg out of the nest; it’s only interference by outside parties- humans- that is illegal.
Kind of like how it’s illegal to force another person to have an abortion and how it should be illegal to force another person to gestate a fetus. No one gets to decide for the eagle just as no one should decide...

Abortion: The unborn is not really human until it...
wisdomfish:
2. “The unborn is not really human until it is born.”
If it is not human, what is it? Is it mineral, vegetable, or animal? If it is animal life, is it horse, cow, pig, cat, or just what? To ask the question shows the foolishness of the argument! If a scientist could produce a fetus from non-living matter, he would assert in every scientific journal which would publish his...

Anonymous asked: A FB friend of mine posted this as her status: "Having children was my choice. I gave up things, & went without for them.

Anonymous asked: How the hell do you reason with a boyfriend that is against a women's right to choose? I believe in her body her choice, he does not. He seems to think if the woman does not want said child and he does then she should have it. And then if woman wants said child and man does not and he then has to pay child support that, that is wrong. I am at a serious loss here.

speakgirl asked: Pennyroyal is another herb that can be imbibed in tea form to induce a miscarriage, but the dosage can be tricky. My advice would be to do a good bit of internet research concerning the administration of pennyroyal, if no other solution presents itself. Good luck, anon. <3
Anonymous asked: Pennyroyal is a well-known herbal abortifacient. However, like all herbal abortifacients, it is toxic in high doses and has been known to cause death. Please, Anon, avail yourself of the network of women out there who seek to provide a way for women like you to still obtain a safe abortion. You're in our thoughts.

From what I know, raspberry tea helps with blood flow and muscle toning of the uterus- thus it being great to help with cramps of pregnancies. Please, do not rely on any herbs to help induce an abortion unless you have knowledge on the subject or know someone who has studied herbs extensively, and in the manner you are planning to use them. Many herbs can kill in large...
bowiecadmium asked: Raspberry leaves are not listed as common herbal abortifacient in either animals or humans. I know that a lot of horse owners use them as a calming aid for mares that are particularly hormonally sensitive. A lot of women also drink tea made from them to help regulate their menstrual cycle. No scientific study has showed though that they are a benefit (as is often claimed) during pregnancy.
raspberrythighs asked: raspberry leaf tea provides the womb for childbirth. it also is supposed to induce menstruation. that's all i know about vags and raspberry tea.
Anonymous asked: For the Anon: Tea made from raspberry leaves has been known to cause miscarriage. I'm not 100% certain on how much of the tea you have to drink, but I thought I'd throw that out there as another alternative.
thelefthandedwifeinhiding asked: Can you make that last ask rebloggable? I'd like to be able to show it to my followers. Even if they don't have a way to help, I think it's important that it be seen what happens when you completely remove a woman's right to choose.
