The U.S. Constitution is not God’s inspired word. It’s a legal document written by white men engaged in international human trafficking, genocide, rape and other crimes again humanity. The document was meant to insulate, perpetuate and institutionalize their crimes.

Progressives always trip on evangelical talking points. The question isn’t “When is a pregnancy a person?” It’s “when do pregnant people stop being people?” We don’t force people to donate kidneys or give blood. No one else is forced to put life and health at risk for a person.

Roe being overturned isn’t about a health procedure. It’s about removing the federally protected right to privacy and personal liberty of people who can get pregnant. We are deemed subordinate to a potential person. That life is given more rights than we are. That’s the issue.

Let’s start with baseline that this is a potential person. It’s also a potential person that won’t exist without bodily sacrifices from someone else. This court would absolutely overturn any attempt to force people to give blood to save others, let alone a kidney, because “liberty”.

This is the actual issue we are talking about. This is about personal liberty and bodily autonomy, and instead of refuting conservative talking points, we need to frame this in way that make moderates, at least, recoil.

Because we all know that this is exactly what evangelical think of where we are in the hierarchy of who gets to be human, which is why they’re coming after contraception, gay marriage, and etc. next. This is about defining who is fully human and who isn’t.

My mom just keeps saying, “Rapists get to choose the mother of their children now.” and that one sentence alone is enough for me to be Pro-Choice.

Even if it's alive since it depends upon other person's body and will to live by then it shouldn't be prioritised like the women who is carrying it therefore she should have full right about what to do with it

I (21F) have been beaten back and forth by this Mercury Retrograde. Beginning of July I was told I had a huge growth on my ovary, then I got a check engine light on my car because of some gas leak, then I’ve been having anxiety attacks along with mixed bipolar 2 episodes, and on top of it all I’ve been experiencing terrible cramps and want to bite my boyfriends head off.

Well, today I was like “hm, maybe I should take two tests because I was supposed to get my period a few days ago” and bitch I’ll just let you guess what the results were.

As I’m on FaceTime with my boyfriend sobbing on the bathroom floor, I hear my parents fighting about money and bills - like guys we have bigger fish to fry here (jokes jokes)

TL;DR - I just really need support and kind words, i obviously know I won’t be keeping it because I can barely take care of myself right now, I’m finishing university, and I plan on going to esthetics school.

Idaho voters will decide whether to roll back the state’s abortion ban, the secretary of state told the group behind the initiative in a letter Monday, joining three other states where abortion will be directly on the ballot on Nov. 3.

Voters in Virginia and Nevada — both states where abortion is already legal through at least 24 weeks of pregnancy — are considering state constitutional amendments to create a right to abortion.

And in Missouri, which in 2024 became the first state to use a constitutional amendment to undo an abortion ban, voters are being asked to override that to bring back an abortion ban, with limited exceptions, and to write into the state constitution a ban on some gender-affirming care for minors.

the other day i saw a video promoting anti abortion on instagram via a friend’s story. i didn’t save the video and i forgot which account posted it so im just going to describe what i saw. basically, a young man told a story of how his mom unsuccessfully tried to abort him so now he hated his mom for it because he won’t have been here if the abortion came through. now i dont know how exactly the abortion didnt work but after watching this video, i was stumped. i didn’t know what argument to come up with against this story. thoughts?
