#eugenic abortion

[whereserpentswalk]

Gentle reminder that you can be 100% pro choice and still understand that aborting a fetus because it will be disabled as a human is a eugenicist idea that comes from absolutely horrifying ideas that have been placed in western culture as a result of more overt eugenics movements in our past.

I am begging people to understand that reproductive rights is as much the right to become and remain pregnant as it is to terminate a pregnancy.

Encouraging all people capable of being pregnant to get their tubes tied or get a hysterectomy isn't the solution you think it is.

Most people who get abortions do so because they want to be able to get pregnant in the future.

Back-alley abortions often leave people unable to become pregnant again, even if they want to. Legal, safe abortion ensures that a person can terminate a pregnancy while still retaining the option and ability to become pregnant again.

PoC, disabled people, and trans and intersex people have historically been barred from the right to get pregnant and reproduce. These marginalized groups have faced sterilization and maternal mortality for a long time.

If you think reproductive justice is only about the right to *not* be pregnant, you are woefully misinformed.

Reproductive justice means people should be able to control their own bodies, whether it means ending or preventing a pregnancy, or becoming pregnant and remaining pregnant.

Reproductive justice means that healthcare providers should and must address the barriers and dangers PoC, disabled people, and trans and intersex people face when it comes to obstetrics and gynecology.

Reproductive justice means lowering the maternal mortality rate for black people in America.

Reproductive justice means not sterilizing disabled people and providing safe options for disabled people who want to become pregnant.

Reproductive justice means acknowledging that trans people may want to become pregnant and not mandating they be sterilized in order to legally transition.

Reproductive justice means not sterilizing intersex babies and children in the attempt to make them fit into a dyadic, binary sex.

Reproductive justice is not just about abortions.

A friendly reminder:

If the state has the power to decide who must give birth

It also has the power to decide who must not give birth.

#in the wake of mass disabling events #like a global pandemic #there is a rise in eugenics movements #and it is no coincidence #that we see a corresponding #restriction on abortion #and a rise in sterilization- among black. brown & disabled people #we will also witness the take over of an anti-BC movement too #and the take-over of #anti-porn. anti-sex. anti-sex worker movements #reproductive justice

This is absolutely hilarious.

I was just informed that someone is accusing me of calling for the extermination of black babies in the womb in order to prevent the Great Replacement Theory from happening.

Obviously the accusation is entirely fabricated and the person making it is making crap up to try to cause infighting among pro-lifers on tumblr. But anyone who believes it obviously…

1. Has not read any of my posts ever about abortion

2. Does not actually know what the Great Replacement Theory is (or thinks I don’t, at least)

So anyway, in case there’s any confusion:

- No one should be aborted (including black babies)

- Eugenics is bad

- Here’s the Maafa 21 documentary (which I have posted numerous times on this blog) that explains how eugenicist groups conspired to use birth control, forced sterilization, and abortion to “control” the black population (and again, to be perfectly clear, I am saying this is a bad thing)

Oh did I mention already that eugenics is bad and I want all preborn babies given equal protection under the law?

Conservatives hate Queer people not just because we are less likely to produce children- but when we do, we produce the "wrong kind" of children.

All Conservative Ideology is fundamentally Eugenicist- viewing all people as "Breeding Stock", thinking that "good" people can be bred like livestock. They dehumanize everyone- especially children- because we have become Products not people.

This is why Eugenicists so vehemently appose Individual Abortion Rights- Reproductive Bodily Autonomy is the ultimate sin under Eugenics. The choice is not the parent's but the State's.

Queer children- like Queer parents- are an "evil" in the eyes of a Eugenicist, because they will not be made "Stock" for their project of making "perfect" people.

This why Conservatives want to control- especially- the Bodies of Trans and Intersex children.

Pamala Wainwright, 38

On January 15, 1987, Pamala Wainwright was admitted to Shallowford Community Hospital in Dunwoody, Georgia to have an abortion and a tubal ligation. She never walked out.

Pamala was a married mother of 3 (counting the baby she was 11 weeks pregnant with). One of her kids had Down Syndrome, but it is unknown if this played a part in Pamala’s reasoning to have an abortion.

The next day, Pamala was taken to the operating room. Wendell Phillips was the abortionist who killed Pamala and her third baby.

The abortion was done with a method known as a carbon dioxide abortion, which involved putting a needle into the mother’s abdomen and pumping carbon dioxide to kill the unborn baby. I have been able to find almost no information on this method outside of Pamala’s case.

Phillips did not bother to make sure he put the needle in the right place. He pumped carbon dioxide gas directly into Pamala’s bloodstream, causing vapor lock in her heart that induced cardiac arrest. She was killed almost instantly.

On January 16, 1987, Pamala’s husband became a widower and the father of a dead child. He was left to raise his surviving children as a single father. Had Pamala never undergone an abortion, he would probably have soon celebrated the birth of a family member instead of mourning the deaths of two.

Im not against abortion but what do you think about people who would want a kid but they abort just because they found out their kid would be disabled? For me its ok if a woman doesnt want kids. But when they do and they abort just because their kid would be blind for example... it seems kinda hypocritical that they would get rid of someone just because they can't see... when you can also get blind later in life actually if something happens to you.

My ex classmate who is now 24 wanted to be a mother since she was 13 she kept talking how she wants a lot of kids. She isn't pregnant yet but she said she would 100% abort if the baby would have any kind of disability.

Well I honestly think that someone being forced to raise a disabled child they don't want to raise would be a much worse situation than someone aborting a disabled fetus for problematic reasons...

Guess what happens when the Government has the power to make decisions about people's pregnancy?

This is what happens when *choice* isnt a guarantee anymore.

This is mostly aimed at American people (I’m British) but do you think Eden allows abortions or not?

#captain laserhawk #rambles #Tw abortion #abortion mention #In the UK it’s up to 23 weeks and 6 days but (before the overturning of roe v wade) it depended on state in the USA #technically for my mpreg horror au but also general curiosity I guess? I could just not bring this topic up #On one hand Eden is all about control #And what better way to control someone than control their reproductive rights #On the other hand though I can imagine the eugenics thing making it be like “oh this a deformed baby ok deletus dat fetus”

“Black women can certainly have stronger and more assertive conversations with our medical providers so that their medical racism doesn't get into in the way.

Yeah, but you really can't self-help yourself out of white supremacy. It's not just all in your head.

Reproductive justice comes out of Black women's experience. Because Black women are really familiar with creating very universalist theory to explain how the world works. I mean, it is rumored that all civilization began out of Black women's womb. So are we surprised?

But no, I think that when Kimberly Crenshaw named intersectionality, she transformed the world. And I believe reproductive justice has had that same impact. It's not that you create something out of old whole cloth. What you've done is name a phenomena that changes how everybody sees something. I mean, Newton didn't invent gravity, but he certainly changed the world when he named it.

And that's how, that's what we do with Black feminist theory. We change the world when we name things.”

Roe V. Wade being overturned will make it easier for people to pass laws that allows for mass sterilization of disabled people. As an Autistic person, this actually terrifies me. After all, a forced sterilization is a violation of reproductive rights. In fact, half of the country has laws that enable forced sterilization of disabled people already. Roe V. Wade being overturned could lead to more. This country is getting more and more fascist every passing month, and the government is useless in preventing it.

reproductive justice is always going to be much stronger and much better than just pro-choice

the problem with pro-choice is that it pretends we live in a world where there is choice when there really is not. it fundamentally frames some choices as rational and other choices as irrational. and, most importantly, it tends to get way too focused on the abortion issue… often leading to racist and ableist justifications for why abortions are necessary

reproductive justice is powerful because it calls for real justice. yes, that includes abortions. but it also includes giving people the resources to make informed decisions about reproduction. it intersects with racial justice and disability justice in its approach to reproductive healthcare. it’s about real justice

it really is time to move away from pro-choice rhetoric and move towards justice

#pro-choice rhetoric is so often ableist and racist #because it has the sole goal of advocating for abortion. and will therefore say whatever it takes to justify abortions #instead of being able to have a normal conversation about how. some people ARE forced to terminate pregnancies #and eugenics DOES still exist #anyway #reproductive justice

Margaret Sanger: A Racist, Ableist Eugenicist

In honor of the March for Life taking place yesterday, here’s a friendly reminder that Margaret Sanger was a racist, ableist eugenicist.

In her article My Way to Peace, she outlined this 3-step plan to prevent “fifteen or twenty millions of our population” from tainting society:

Sterilizing anyone with mental or physical disabilities and putting them to work on segregated farms for the rest of their lives.

Putting poor, illiterate, drug-addicted, or sex-working individuals to work on state-run concentration farms, which they would only be allowed to leave if they reformed and accepted sterilization.

Institute mandatory birth-control training for women with serious illnesses like heart disease, to discourage them from having children.

In that same document, she specifies that she includes those “barred from entrance by the Immigration Laws of 1924” and their descendants among the undesirable groups that should be sterilized and segregated—said immigration laws barred Asians and imposed severe restrictions on the number of Africans and Arabs allowed to enter the country.

Her support for this plan actually resulted in 30 states passing laws allowing for forced sterilization: “At least 70,000 people in the United States were forcibly sterilized under the laws promoted by Sanger and her associates. Far more, especially women prisoners and women on welfare, were surreptitiously sterilized.”

She went on to say in A Better Race Through Birth Control that “women of subnormal mentality, however lacking they may be in vision and altruism, would prefer to avoid the pain and responsibilities of procreation, if the satisfaction of sex could be divorced from reproduction.”

In her article In Defense of Assassination, she said, “Exterminating warfare is also waged against the savage members of the human race wherever they oppose the establishment of conditions necessary for the development of the more highly organized types.”

In fact, Sanger’s eugenicist beliefs are so blatant that a Planned Parenthood center in NYC actually removed their founder’s name from their clinic because they didn’t want to be associated with her eugenicist policies—an ironic decision, as they continue to advocate for some of the methods of eugenics Sanger supported.

While Sanger’s ultimate mission of segregation and forced sterilization has failed, her eugenicist beliefs continue to succeed in more subtle ways. For instance, in NYC in 2013, more Black babies were aborted than born, at a rate of 67.3 per 1,000, a rate vastly higher than any other racial group. While that rate decreased to 32.6 in 2020, the disparity between races increased, with Black babies being aborted over 5 times more often than their white counterparts.

The fact that Margaret Sanger supported the forced sterilization and enslavement of POC, drug addicts, sex workers, and disabled individuals has been suppressed for decades, so as not to complicate the message that she is a champion of women’s rights. Ignoring these facts—ignoring her own words—allows these evils to continue uncontested. We cannot remain in ignorance. We cannot meaningfully separate Planned Parenthood’s current actions from their founder, especially as the racial disparities are only growing more extreme. Regardless of how you feel about abortion, it’s eugenicist roots are a vital piece of information to have when considering it.

Now that Roe v. Wade has been overturned, the March for Life has turned even more attention to mitigating the damage done by Margaret Sanger’s eugenicist beliefs. Specifically, to ensure that all pregnant women and their families have easier access to several kinds of support, so they can make a truly informed decision instead of believing that abortion is their only option.

With every woman, with every child.

Yup I understand your thoughts as well about the abortion but makes me wonder what would those parents do if a kid gets hit by a car for example and the kid can no longer walk... just adopt the kid because they don't want a disabled child anymore? There are a lot of disabilities you can get later in life from accidents and such.

Would they no longer love their kid anymore? That's what I wonder. Because that ex classmate said such kids should be born and it kinda sucks she says this to me when my sister is disabled.

Sorry if I annoyed you or anything just wanted to know your thoughts and thanks for answering. I was a bit pissed off at that ex classmate since my younger sister got bullied a lot.

No I completely agree that it is wrong, toxic and potentially abusive to devalue a child because they aren't abled, because anyone can become disabled at any point, but I don't think that the solution to that problem is to force ableist people to raise disabled children
