If you’re pro-birth and your argument is:
“ If you consent to sex, you consent to pregnancy.”
Before you run with it, know that this statement is a concept that invalidates your entire argument.
Your argument is inconceivable.
If it’s consent that you’re reducing pregnancy down to, I’d hope you’re of the logic that a pregnancy, as the result of non-consensual sex, aka rape, wasn’t consented to. Therefore, they should have the option to terminate.
Go back to sex-ed, read a biology book, and re-assess the legal system. And how society operates under a law that can ban someone’s right to govern their own body.
And hopefully that will make you question the overturn of Roe v Wade.
There is no consent to biological processes.
Especially pregnancy.
Pregnancy, as a consequence to sex(protected or not), or rape, is not something you choose to go to bed with.
Carrying and birthing a human has a profound effect on women, trans men, and non binary persons-with uteruses. Even if they decide not to become a parent or be pregnant.
There are no preventative measures for pregnancy that are 100% absolute in their efficacy. Hysterectomies, depending on location, expenses, and doctors, can be inaccessible.
And, not every one with a uterus wants to be cut open to have it removed.
Some people also have no choice but to consent to hysterectomies stemming from other health issues. Menstrual concerns, Ovarian cancer, ovarian cyst, vaginal haemorrhaging, even childbirth…etc.
Birth control pills are prescribed and not over the counter. Condoms, however, are situated right next to the shower gel, at my local Coles.
Birth control devices may even not be entirely effective. Nor, are they permanent. Some people’s bodies have, or may, reject/ed them and will result in a surgical removal of the BC device
Birth control can induce illness, physical and mental. The side effects can be so life altering that they have no choice but to go off of it. Suicide, self-harm, depression…etc.
Then of course, pro-lifers will use the argument for vaccine mandates. Which is a separate issue, but if you want some thoughts, here are mine.
I am pro-vax. Although, I have people in my life who aren’t. And, I respect their choice because I understand their reasons. It’s their body to govern and their health.
But, unlike Pregnancy, Vaccines-even when mandated- are a choice.
You’ll possibly be a carrier of a sickness that you’re asymptomatic to and believe your clean bill of health is a right to enter public spaces with vulnerable persons who may be immunocompromised…
But hey, that’s your choice. And I’ll respect that as your individual choice. I only hope you’ll be accountable for the implications it may have on others.
And some sacrifices will need to be made.
But don’t worry, you won’t be forced to give birth to a human being against your own will.
Think about this:
A government, of predominantly men, should never feel compelled to insert themselves into the Bodily autonomy of Civilians! They should exercise their power and authority to help improve healthcare, cost of living, and the judicial system…
Whether it’s vaccines, abortions, pregnancy, or healthcare in general.
The fact we have to pay thousands of dollars for medicine to be “healed”
The fact It costs hundreds and thousands of dollars to raise a family and sustain a livelihood.
The fact the US healthcare system is so fucked that you HAVE to pay thousands of dollars just to birth a baby, in an environment where medical assistance may be required!
The fact a young girl going through puberty can be impregnated by her Rapist…
A child will be forced to birth their sibling, cousin, aunt/uncle…
We don’t consent to pregnancy, because we cannot control whether we become pregnant or not.
And if we choose to permanently relinquish the possibility of pregnancy, it can be a laborious process involving many probable denials by healthcare professionals.
We don’t consent to miscarriage, stillbirth, illness, or other possible life-threatening effects from the cause of painful pregnancies.
We don’t consent to carrying foetuses with developed deformities that can kill them, and potentially us, to full term.
We don’t consent to facing heart failure, having doctors perform invasive and painful surgeries to open our vagina’s for the “crowning”, having our stomach cut open and our uterus aggressively tugged to remove a human;
Heart burn. Nausea. Vacuuming. Hair loss. Neuropathy. Vaginal tearing…I could go on. But I won’t.
I’m not a fear monger. I see the truth and I say it.
Pregnancy can’t be reduced down to an argument. It’s a reproductive process that involves creating, carrying, and delivery.
It’s an impressively massive biological process that we cannot control and we cannot consent to.
Although, one of the things we CAN consent to, that may result in pregnancy , you will weaponise against us. And it began when girls are told to dress a certain way, behave a certain way. They’re told not to chase boys and then in the same breath told “ say yes, it won’t hurt. He seems like a nice guy.”…
Say it: “Abortions are for sluts. Only sluts get abortions.”
“We shouldn’t be raising our daughters to be sluts.”
A ten year old girl, from Ohio, is not a slut because she had to travel to another state to legally terminate a pregnancy as the result of a rape…
She’s a child. She’s scared. She’s traumatised. She’s an innocent. She’s a victim. She’s a survivor. She did not deserve this…
And I hope the perpetrator is held in contempt with a fury, from the court, that they will exercise in a manner which will make them reconsider the entire fuckery of the other possible tragedies that could’ve followed had that girl’s guardians not taken drastic measures to seek a safe abortion for her.
————————
There are laws of consent here in Australia.
Laws that will protect people in retracting consent, or giving consent if they were intoxicated or drugged…
“ No means No.”
So, if it’s consent you’re arguing…
Maybe you need to direct your attention to Rape culture. That’s something that needs your attention and energy, regarding consent, not pregnancy!!!!
So, I’ll respect your right to choose whether or not to be vaccinated. If you choose to respect that uteruses belong to people, and those people have the right to decide whether or not they want to pro-create with it.

I'm definitely against legal abortion but I ain't got shit for this Supreme Court. These same 'pro-life' boneheads granted 'bodily autonomy' for anti-vaxxers, remember?
Even if this decision is overturned and Thanos came and fingersnapped away the states that legalized abortion on their own, so what? Great, so if you're pre-born, you're safe, but these same fucknards who are all about saving life before birth are happy to allow all kinds of fourth trimester (aka the rest of your life) abortions. They'll shrug when some crazed gunman mows down a school full of ex-fetuses or cheer when cops shoot an unarmed black former fetus. And don't even talk to them about how this capitalist system fundamentally and economically penalizes motherhood, these "pro-life" dirtbags actually like that side effect. They want women back in the home serving them. They don't stop to think that this dystopian religio-fascist tradcon worldview of women is exactly what makes abortion so fucking popular.
Anyone who really feels overturning Roe vs Wade is about saving lives isn't going to be rubbing their hands with glee about this hypocrisy that's unfolding. No, they're going to be looking at the "pro-lifers" of today and they're going to cringe at the same cold, evil heartlessness and callous disregard for life ("Blue Lives Matter" goons I'm also talking about you) that pro-choicers showed back in the 1990s when this debate first spiraled out of control.
Anyone who really cares about life would have been a Democrat. They would have seen that ending police brutality, a social safety net and free contraception was also a pro-life solution. They would be all for mandatory vaccinations and mask mandates to arrest the spread of a pandemic that has killed 1 million Americans. Because, well, those are all just as pro-life as stopping abortions.
If the SCOTUS does gut Roe this fight has only finished Chapter 1 of a very long novel. And that chapter will have finished on a very hypocritical and disgraceful note.

When it came to COVID vaccines, we all used our gut instinct whether we took them or not. It didn't have to be rational to be the right decision, or the wrong one.
It is in human nature to assume that practicality and rationality go hand in hand, and it feels correct since we tend to do impractical things for irrational reasons. But sometimes it's rational to do impractical things—we call this rationalizing—and sometimes it's practical to do irrational things. We saw numerous examples during the pandemic, but it's useful to look just at vaccination rates because people used a broad mix of reasoning, both good and bad, to decide whether to take what turned out to be a mislabeled product, the mRNA COVID vaccines.
Notably, the definition of the word 'vaccine' was adjusted after Moderna and Pfizer wanted to sell their products with that designation attached to it. People generally trust vaccines so giving their products that name helped to win public trust for an entirely new class of drug. The trick has always been to associate mRNA drug technology with proven treatments that use altogether different chemistry.
We ought to be willing to admit that the old definition of the word 'vaccine' was just clever marketing wank because the fact is that no vaccine has ever prevented infection. They simply accelerate immune response so infections, when they do happen, never grow out of control. The new vaccine definition is just as clever, admitting that infections are not preventable so as to lower expectations without totally discouraging consumers.
So a drug which offers mere prevention against a severe viral infection, not necessarily one which reduces infection rates, is now called a vaccine. But what about herd immunity? We who took our chances with the vaccine hoped to prevent ourselves from transmitting the virus to others. But today it's widely known that mRNA COVID vaccines are insufficient to lower COVID's reproduction number below 1.0, meaning herd immunity is impossible to achieve with mRNA vaccines alone. This was always the case, it's just a question of when did our betters realize it.
Initially, mRNA vaccine makers had loads of confirmation bias to tell them their products would shorten the pandemic but the only way to know for sure was for everybody to take it, and somewhere in the back of their collective mind they understood this. Cue the vaccine mandates. A mandate exists to make people do something they wouldn't necessarily choose to do on their own. Modifying incentive structures is a time-tested and proven way to manipulate human behavior, and threatening to take away somebody's livelihood is a powerful incentive. It's also tyranny.
Pharmaceuticals marketed a fancy new drug by calling it a vaccine so we would want it, and when it turned out that only 2/3rds of us did, they lobbied the Biden administration to make the remaining 1/3rd take it just to prove something to themselves and the world at large. Sure, they were motivated by profit, but even profit motivated companies avoid doing evil if for no other reason than to protect their public image. Really, they needed to know if 100% vaccination was possible, practical, or effective because it had never been achieved before.
So, pharmaceuticals irrationally convinced themselves that forcing life-saving drugs upon the public would be appreciated. After all, the evil of depriving us of our agency was counterbalanced by the good of shortening the pandemic, and life trumps liberty, at least in their minds.

But at the end of the day, people will exercise their personal agency unabated by government mandate, and damn the consequences. That may have sounded irrational before the Supreme Court weighed in and struck down the broadest vaccine mandate a year ago, but its perfectly practical to go with your gut feeling regarding your health.
The gut is, after all, an important part of the human immune system. It must destroy harmful microorganisms while allowing helpful gut flora to flourish within limits. Its 'brain,' the enteric nervous system, isn't involved in cognition but it does inform your decision making. Without a prefrontal cortex, the gut's enteric nervous system is incapable of rationality but by the same token it is also incapable of irrationality. The gut only deals in hard facts and practicalities, what works and what doesn't, what makes you healthy and what makes you sick.
Operating on gut instinct isn't always rational, but the law of natural selection has improved its odds of success beyond what random chance allows, and your statistically unlikely existence is proof of that. You are the product of countless generations who threw the dice and won. Sometimes your gut is wrong, but it never lies to you. You can't always believe it, but you can always trust it. So if it tells you not to use mRNA drugs, take its advice with a grain of salt but take it seriously. Its wise admonitions are informed by millions of years of evolution.
Gut instinct is practical in ways our rational minds may never comprehend, but it exists for one specific purpose: to promote healthy consumption habits. (Incidentally, our senses of taste and smell and our eyes' color sensitivity all serve that same purpose by identifying poison.) So when you get vaccinated and then feel sick a few minutes or hours later, that's your gut telling you that you've ingested poison. Trust it. And then remind yourself that all medicines are poison depending on the dose, and all poisons are medicine depending on the illness.
mRNA drug technology is amazing. Trying to cure COVID with it was amazingly stupid. And mandating its use was simply evil, if for no other reason than it has turned the public against the most promising potential cure for cancer we've ever seen. And it's all down to patent law.
Although the forthcoming cancer cure will be patentable on its own, the mRNA/lipid nanoparticle suite of technologies it will employ has been undergoing research for decades now and patent protection only lasts up to 20 years. For practical reasons, the COVID vaccine was rushed to market. Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna had to have known from the very start that curing coronavirus was a fool's errand. Scientists have tried for decades, especially after the SARS pandemic, but it mutates so rapidly that no vaccine maker can keep up, not even seasonal flu vaccine makers.
Nothing was rational about using mRNA to attempt a coronavirus vaccine but the pharmaceuticals were motivated by practicality, not rationality, so they did it anyway. Simple government corruption did the rest; nothing else kills rationality like having fuck you money in your pocket. Despite it all, I hope mRNA technology flourishes. I hope it does make cancer curable and I hope people learn to trust it. But if our trust is gone forever, the pharmaceuticals and our governments can only blame themselves. No force can overcome irrational practicality except irrational practicality itself.

President Joe Biden is on the wrong side of almost every issue. Since Biden became President, everything from border security to our economy has deteriorated. Our country is in serious trouble because of his ineffective leadership. Yet, even an old, mentally incompetent, and lying politician, like a broken clock, can be right on rare occasions.

Talking to my mom over the weekend about how it's ridiculous some businesses still require proof of up to date covid vaccination.
I didn't get a single shot. I got covid. It was bad but it passed without me seeing a doctor or taking any prescription medication.
My mom had up to date vaccination with boosters, wore masks as required and followed all hygiene protocols. She got covid. She was hospitalized for weeks. She has developed new and permanent illness as a result of covid + vaccinations.
How are people not angry? How are they still climbing up on a tall (but dead) horse to claim moral superiority? The propaganda game is so strong it's sickening.
