From Reddit:

Given current events, it is probably about time for Americans to understand the legal practice of coverture.

Eroded since colonial times, but not fully gone coverture is the legal practice of women not having legal identities. De facto property.

American women were not allowed on juries until the 1960s. American women could not get credit cards without a man cosigning the application until 1974. Marital rape was not a crime until the 1980s. Other aspects still exist today in real estate and tax law practices.

Here is a brief article that goes into explaining coverture in more depth than my post.

The "pro life" movement is really a movement about imposing one group's religious opinions on the lives of all Americans. It also seeks to control women, rolling back women's rights. Though ridiculous by constitutional standards, discussions in anti-choice states have already started about how to track or limit freedom of travel for women to states that fully support women's rights.

It's always the moldiest looking person that wants to "debate" women, trans, autistic, disabled and black/indigenous/bipoc individuals on their rights.

I don't like being cruel to people, but hey, they killed all the nice gay people.

I'm one of the mean ones.

There is no part of me that will sit back and allow someone to walk all over my community. We've had to endure this violence for too long and it's time it ends.

We exist. We're here. Our rights are not open for debate.

This is probably gonna be a bit of a ‘controversial’ take for the reactionary folks on tumblr.com but frankly, I think this needs to be talked about more:

I’m genuinely tired of seeing both cis women and transmascs/trans men/nonbinary people squabbling over dumbass terminology regarding reproductive issues and again, seeing the whole damn forest for the trees. This whole situation can easily be solved by calling this a violation of human rights, instead of insisting it’s a ‘woman’s issue’ only or a ‘trans man/nonbinary issue’.

Like, I hate to make it sound like I’m dismissing people’s concerns but this kind of narrow ass thinking is only going to continue to distract us from getting our asses in gear to work towards a similar cause.

There’s already so much transphobia in cis feminist spaces AND misogyny in trans men/transmasc spaces that I literally hate being around any of y’all 😂 and that’s genuinely sad considering the reality that any of us with the ability to get pregnant will be effected by all anti-choice laws. It makes no sense to be arguing over terminology when the best and most realistic way to go about handling these issues would be to cite them for what they are: human rights issues. Women are human beings. Trans people are human beings. The right to any kind of bodily autonomy is inherently a human rights issue because it will effect human beings, y’all.

I understand why it’s important to break down specific social issues that may only effect a specific group of people (ex: talks about anti-blackness and how it effects black people should always be spearheaded by black people) and I agree that having that nuance and intersectional thinking will always be important. However, the issue of reproductive rights is expansive and effects millions of folks, in various communities, all capable of getting pregnant and in need of absolute autonomy over their own bodies.

That’s what this issue is about. So, I would highly suggest checking your own biases and the way you talk about this issue, as well as the people who are literally in the same boat as you before you claim which terminology is ‘better’ or ‘more inclusive’. Because frankly, it doesn’t make a difference to a bunch of anti-choice people in powerful positions. They don’t give a shit about our terminology and who’s getting effected by what.

They only care about controlling other human beings as they see fit and the moment we can realize that this is literally a grave human rights violation, while seeing each other as actual people first before our genders, that’s when tangible structural change can happen and be permanent.

Reproductive rights are human rights. The right to a safe abortion is a human right. The right to make your own decisions, be them medical or not, about your own body is a human right. Stop losing sight of that just because something isn’t ‘worded’ in a way that makes you 100% comfy. This isn’t a time to get tripped up over words, it’s a time to reinstate your autonomy as a human being and start working together to make shit happen.

NOTE: TERFs/transphobes/misogynists/anti-choice creeps will all be blocked on sight.

i really hate calling it “pro-life” and i REALLY REALLY hate the signs in my hometown that say “value them both”.

it’s not pro-life!! it’s pro forced birth, it’s anti-choice, it’s anti-abortion. legalized abortion won’t force anyone to get abortions but criminalized abortion might force people to have extremely dangerous abortions or babies they can’t support or don’t want. that destroys life. and don’t say “but adoption is an option” the only people who adopt are couples who can’t conceive. that leaves out hundreds, if not thousands, of children who are not being adopted. that destroys life.

nothing about the “pro-life” stance is actually protecting life. it’s about control. it’s about controlling women and people with uteruses, since all pro-lifers think that a person with a uterus is automatically a woman. and don’t come at me with bible verses, God killed so many people.

The next seven scenes are of SpongeBob pointing demonstrably and scowling or looking with wide-eyed sarcasm.

*taps microphone*

I would like to say something to all white women who identify as Christian & conservative in the US who are happy about Roe v Wade being overturned but haven’t realized the RNC wants to turn you all into baby making machines to preserve “white life”

#mun post #no rights? then no sex #everyone should be doing a sex strike & withdrawing all their cash from all US banks #womens rights are human rights #womens rights #roe v wade overturned #roe v Wade #and that’s my Ted Talk and why Christian Americans are hypocrites & have brought about fascism via not looking at their bible stories #critically and trusting some random person who claims to have authority all because they can stand up in front of a microphone and preach #the Bible is anti government multiple times and Jesus literally died because the government didn’t like him #white women in the us you all are in danger #with the rest of us and quite frankly some of you deserve it b u t I rather your God punish you for ignoring their word #no but seriously get life insurance some miscarriages need surgeries that fall under the abortions umbrella that are no longer accessible #oh and also Mike Pence wants to ban abortion nationally because again politicians aren’t wise men or trained in medicine and those that are #tend to avoid the RNC as a whole #and because someone is going to ask - I was forced to go to a private Catholic school in exchange for my mom needing bill money #and I came out of the experience so anti religion and anti Christianity but I fucking learned about the Bible instead of #blindly believing the guy with the most credentials because everyone has a damn bias & liars tend to become religious leaders #all religions have some kind of malice but Christianity is a legitimate cult that uses texts that are so far removed from the original #that it’s a completely different religion and US Christianity makes out with yt n4t1onal15m in the most cult like way it’s disgusting #bodily autonomy #fuck the supreme court

Women's rights are human rights. No discussion. No debate. Women are human beings with thoughts, ambitions, goals and dreams of their own, just like everyone else. Fuck you if you disagree with any of the above.
