In all seriousness, have you ever met a woman who “just” had an abortion? Without any internal struggle? Who “just” made an appointment, walked in, walked out? Not scared of how close it was to an life altering event for the woman? With not difficult feelings to the possible child? “Just” another day in her life?
Anyone?
I just don’t believe that those women exist in large numbers but it feels like they think that is what every abortion is.
I have. It was a friend who already had two kids, didn’t want (or couldn’t raise) more. She arranged the procedure as soon as she found she was pregnant again. Went to the appointment, got the embryo removed and that was all.
And it was ok, it was her decision (supported by her partner by the way) and nobody should have a shit to say about that.
Remember when Republicans made up the idea of “partial birth abortion” and (rather successfully) used to to convince people that there were women out there who purposely waited until they were in fucking labor to arbitrarily decide to abort?
In all my years I’ve only met one woman that didn’t really seem to care. It was someone I worked with at the time, early 2000s. When we were work friends she informed me she had just gotten her 6th procedure. At the time I was dating a girl who had one done as a teen and it deeply impacted her. So the idea of getting a 6th and just acting like it wasn’t a big deal really shocked me. So those people the right are talking about do exist in small quantities. It’s also none of my business what those people do with their bodies. However I can’t help but ask at what point do you seek alternative contraceptive methods? Shit even the old pull out method is highly effective if you do it right.

Ps: his example feels weirdly specific to me.

Pisses me off how successful that was.
The propaganda machine has always been producing.
Even if that’s the case, it’s none of their fucking business?
I am 100% with you but I just wonder wtf they think.
These people are often out of touch and think this is just contraception with murder included.
Also the 12 year old is supposed to have the child in secrecy on his cult compound or what? Is he the dad and/or grandpa what’s going on here?

I’m sure after the fifth one you grow more desensitized.
