Is anything more infuriating than when people describe a woman as "trapping" a man with a baby

thinking about the fact that there’s practically nothing preventing children from consuming hardcore pornography on the internet, but yet you could be jailed for handing a child a pornographic magazine.
I just seriously don’t understand why porn is so fucking accessible. I don’t understand why it’s easier for a child to access violent porn than it is for them to purchase a PG-rated movie.

“Opal Roe” (USA 2020)
Because of the way that Opal’s death was recorded, not much is known about her except her state, year of death and cause of death.
Opal underwent a legal abortion in Texas and died in October of 2020. Even with the new system overhaul for abortion data reporting in the state, very little was recorded about her.
It should be noted that even though the law required physicians and hospitals should to report deaths by legal abortion on the form, the total number of abortion deaths under “reported by physicians” was listed as zero. The abortionist who killed Opal did not report her death, and neither did any doctors who may have treated her in an attempt to save her life. Her death would have been entirely unreported if an unknown person at the abortion facility hadn’t submitted a report. This brings attention to the issue of the new reporting system, which seems to still be missing data despite changes.
Less than two years after Opal’s death, the overturn of Roe v Wade allowed the state to strengthen abortion laws, protecting others like her. Unfortunately, this decision came too late for Opal and her baby.

“women only do onlyfans if they are dumb and have a low IQ!!!”
Wouldn’t dumb men do the same if it was a problem of low intelligence? But they don’t? Even the dumb ones have the money to access their bodies? Can you tell me why that is? :)

So disgusting. If I die during pregnancy and some greedy journalist tries to make my story support abortion, I will beg God to let my spirit come back and haunt their ass.

It’s so frustrating to expect women who conceived in rape to act one way or another. Some want to parent their babies and find the journey healing. Others feel that they would not be able to love the baby because of the trauma and will place the baby for adoption. Either reaction is normal! Both reactions are fine!!! Don’t fearmonger a woman who looks forward to her baby’s birth with hope and don’t shame/pressure a woman who is disconnected from the baby and knows she won’t be able to parent. Support both woman and child, but do so on THEIR terms. Don’t force your assumptions on them. One is not better than the other.

Did you know that modern C sections were invented by African women— centuries before they were standard elsewhere?
Midwives and surgeons living around Lake Tanganyika and Lake Victoria perfected the procedure hundreds of years ago. When a baby couldn’t be delivered vaginally, these healers sedated the laboring mother using large amounts of banana wine. They tied the mother to the bed for safety, sterilized a knife using heat, and made the incision, acting quickly as a team to prevent excessive blood loss or the accidental cutting of other organs. The combination of sterile, sharp equipment and sedation made the procedure surprisingly calm and comfortable for the mother.
After the baby was delivered, antiseptic tinctures and salves were used to clean the area and stitches were applied. Women rarely developed infections, shock, or excessive blood loss after a cesarean section and the most common problem reported was that it took longer for the mother’s milk to come in (an issue that was solved with friends and relatives who would nurse the baby instead).
In Uganda, C sections were normally performed by a team of male healers, but in Tanzania and DRC, they were typically done by female midwives.
The majority of women and babies survived this, and when questioned about it by European colonists in the mid-1800s, many people in Uganda and Tanzania indicated that the procedure had been performed routinely since time immemorial.
This was at a time when Europeans had only barely started to figure out that they should wash their hands before performing surgery, when nearly half of European and US women died in childbirth, and when nearly 100% of European women died if a C section was performed.
Detailed explanations of Ugandan C-sections were published globally in scholarly journals by the 1880s and helped the rest of the world learn how to save mothers and babies with minimal complications.
So if you’re one of the people who wouldn’t be alive today without a C-section, you have Ugandan surgeons and Tanzanian and Congolese midwives to thank for their contributions to medical science.

Women can, and do, have elective late-term abortions. Even in the second and third trimesters, abortionists will perform abortions on healthy mothers carrying healthy babies — and will falsify bogus “health” reasons on the paperwork.
I realize that’s a bold claim. And extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. How about a late-term abortionist’s testimony under oath?
23-year-old Keisha Atkins was 6 months pregnant when she sought an abortion. She had no physical or mental health diagnosis; she simply did not want to be pregnant. Abortionist Shannon Carr of Albuquerque (pictured) was happy to oblige. But that baby wasn’t the only one to die; Keisha also lost her life. Carr was forced to testify in the wrongful death lawsuit brought by Keisha’s family, which earlier this year settled for over a million dollars.

regardless of whether you call yourself a feminist, or if you call yourself more traditional, or if you prefer progressivism over liberalism or moderate leaning over anything else....
remember that narcissists, abusers, predators, and bigots do not subscribe to one ideology more than others. They infiltrate any group they see themselves gaining ranks in and are ready to use that group’s terminology to their benefit. It’s about high control, regardless of what they are controlling.

It's weird but oddly comforting in a healing way to have your mother call YOU for period problem questions when it used to be the other way around.

In 2008, Guttmacher stated that as many as 40% of maternal deaths in Nigeria may be from unsafe abortion. Their source was a 2008 paper by Henshaw et al claiming the same.
Only one of Henshaw’s three sources actually supports this claim: Oye-Adeniran’s 2002 paper. Ove-Adeniran’s sources go back to a 1999 paper by Okonofua et al. which says that abortion may be responsible for 40% of deaths in Nigeria. But Okonofua’s only citation which supports this claim is Ladipo et al. 1989. Ladipo does indeed say that abortion causes 30-40% of maternal deaths. The problem is that the paper Ladipo cites is Liskin 1980 and is talking about not Nigeria but Latin America. The Liskin paper itself is too old to find online, but is using data from the 1970s at latest.
Most remarkable about this is that 40% of maternal deaths in Chile around that time were indeed due to abortion. The problem is that abortion was legal in Chile-and once it was prohibited in 1989 abortion deaths fell dramatically: by 94.2% in 11 years.

Finally we heard from Mississippi Deputy Attorney General Whitney Lipscomb, who explained how MAMA (Mississippi Access to Maternal Assistance) is working to help mothers in real time for help with rent, escaping abuse, or simply being there during a difficult time.

I kinda like these "top ten" posts because it's a quick way to assess what information or topics people are engaging in with the most, and thus you can know which topic to research on for discussion or activism.

Please remember that you can be selective about agreeing with someone. Being aware that they made a good point doesn't mean you've betrayed your values. It just means you are aware that nothing is black or white. And that's a good thing. Listening and being able to civil is how problems get solved.
