I read this yesterday about pro-control/ pro-forced births. What do you think about it?

Here’s the thing

It doesn’t matter.

It doesn’t matter when life begins.

It doesn’t matter whether a fetus is a human being or not.

That entire argument is a red herring, a distraction, a subjective and unwinnable argument that could not matter less.

It doesn’t matter whether we’re talking about a fertilized egg or a fetus, or a baby or a five-year-old, or a Nobel Prize-winning pediatric oncologist.

NOBODY has the right to use your body, against your will, even to save their life, or the life of another person.

That’s it.

That’s the argument.

You cannot be forced to donate blood, marrow, or organs, even though hundreds of thousands die every year on waiting lists.

They cannot even harvest your organs after your death without explicit, written, pre-mortem permission.

Denying women the right to an abortion means we have less bodily autonomy than a corpse.

That’s exactly what it means. And it means we’ll go back to having as little right to call ourselves "The Land of The Free" as when actual slavery was legal here. 😳

@bijouxbroussard There are plenty on the right that would not be disappointed with that as a next step once women aren't free.

You're right. We all know what ‘making America great again‘ means. Oppression. Oppression via making the teaching of black US history illegal, making women's choices illegal, making same-sex marriages illegal, making contraception illegal, making interracial marriages illegal, etc.. That’s a lot of control over OTHER people’s lives...

@RosaMarie So very true
@Randi1125 Brought to you by the party who claims to want "smaller government"—just small enough to fit in people’s bedrooms and womens’s uteruses.
