But pro-aborts will see this and immediately try to justify it and come up with some reason why those arguments are good when they use them.
Just goes to show that the arguments to dehumanize, abuse or kill a whole group of people never change.

This “all pro life politicians are terrible” falls mute because there are literally countries with pro life laws that actually work to support people. Now I might be wrong but I have a friend on here from Ireland who was telling me how where they lived used to have strict abortion laws and during that entire time, healthcare, maternity pay and social services were readily available. (they also mentioned how they had worked with multiple women who ad miscarriages and NONE of them got arrested) a country can function well without letting people kill their kids. It's not that pro life politicians are bad it's that there are bad politicians that happen to be pro life.

Every CPC I have ever volunteered at has had trained personnel on their premises and there are thousands of women who have benefited from free parenting classes and resources like baby doula, diapers, clothes, etc. I am curious where you’re getting your sources from? Have you ever BEEN in a CPC? Ever helped at one?
Yes I am aware there’s more than 10 total prolife politicians. I am using this thing called hyperbole to emphasize the fact that there are millions of us from all different walks of life, every creed, every color, every gender identity, every nationality… and you chose to take a few prominent names you know of and slap a label on all of us. You boldly make statements about what prolifers actually believe, while simultaneously making it abundantly clear that you get your stats and data from your echo chamber of angry people on the internet, who’ve probably never done anything to actually help a pregnant mom in their life; EXCEPT to advocate on tumblr for abortion.

OH so you’re talking about a couple of prolife politicians who cannot possibly speak for the entirety of prolifers because they’re like… 10 people. I understand now that you are completely omitting the existence of crisis pregnancy centers and other prolife groups/charities that exist SPECIFICALLY for low income / under-privileged moms. Gotcha.

… they said. addressing the prolife quote, posted by a prolife group, shared by a prolife blogger, and liked by thousands of prolifers who follow LiveAction.
And it is true because they generalized a huge demographic based on a small minority… and they said so! 🤣

Why are you demonising narcissistic people? NPD is in the same cluster with BPD and other traumagenic disorders.
Im not sure what statement or post you’re referencing specifically, but I’ll go ahead and make my stance perfectly clear here anyways.
People with NPD are people too and my intention is not to “demonize” any specific demographic. All human beings deserve human respect. Period. End of story.
^^That doesn’t mean narcissistic traits and actions are permissible or acceptable. If someone is being narcissistic, that,
A: does not mean they have NPD, and
B: even if they do, doesn’t make the thing they are doing a-okay.
They’re still responsible for their actions and do not get free passes for poor behavior.
Also: If I say somewhere on my blog “this mindset is narcissistic” or “this action is narcissistic” I am not talking about the general population of people with a disorder. I am using the proper adjective to describe the subject of my sentence. I will not adjust my language to pretend narcissism doesn’t exist outside of the disorder, or that it is in any way shape or form a good thing.

Carolina Gutierrez, 21 (USA 1996)
Tumblr media
When Carolina was only 13 years old, she came to America from Nicaragua as a refugee. She didn’t know that permissive American abortion laws would lead to her early death.
When Carolina was 20, she was happily married with two children, a boy and a girl. She became pregnant again in 1995. At first, both Carolina and her husband José were excited and even bought clothes for the baby. But Carolina started to worry about money and had second thoughts. José didn’t want his child to be killed and tried to reassure Carolina that she didn’t have to have an abortion, but his efforts were in vain. Carolina got a friend to drive her to an abortion facility on December 19, 1995. She paid $225 in cash for the abortion that took her child, her legs and her life.
The night after the abortion, Carolina was in terrible pain. She called the abortion facility for help, but they hung up on her. Over the next two days, Carolina left messages on the abortion facility’s answering machine, but nobody returned her calls or helped with her rapidly worsening condition. On December 21, Carolina’s family called 911 because she could barely breathe at all. By the time she was rushed into the emergency room, she was already in septic shock.
Carolina had a torn uterus that was so infected that the infection spread across her entire body over the past few days. She had to have an emergency hysterectomy and was placed in the ICU. She was suffering from both sepsis and gangrene. Her husband spent as much time as he could by her side, comforting her. He was grieving from the loss of his child and terrified of losing his beloved wife too. He couldn’t sleep because he was so worried about Carolina.
Despite the best attempts of the doctors who ran the ICU, Carolina’s fingers and toes turned black from gangrene. She had to have her limbs amputated in an attempt to control the lethal infection.
Carolina’s 21st birthday came and went while she was dying a slow and excruciating death in the ICU. Doctors were unable to save her and she finally died from her “safe and legal” abortion on February 5, 1996. She was survived by her heartbroken husband and her surviving children.

"I have lost the love of my life," Jose said in a press conference. "I'm heartbroken. They have taken my happiness away."
Carolina’s death was easily preventable. The Miami Herald confirmed that abortion facility regulations were in effect in 1980— but those critical regulations were later thrown out as being “too restrictive” and a much more lax code was passed in 1988. According to the Miami Herald, at the time of Carolina’s death “Annual inspections for Florida’s 65 licensed clinics [consisted] of six questions — all answered from paperwork, not examination of medical equipment or operating practices or staff training.” In other words, nobody had even inspected the facility that sent an internally injured client home to die of sepsis and gangrene.
Pro-abortion groups are the ones that loudly oppose any regulations (even basic standards of care) and are instrumental in their defeat and repeal. They want more abortion, no matter the cost to women’s lives and health.
After Carolina’s excruciatingly lethal abortion, the facility was finally inspected. While investigating the facility, officials discovered that although Carolina could not read English, her only consent form was in English — and the line for her signature was blank.
A local pro-life group called Dade County Right to Life raised the money to cover Carolina’s funeral expenses and helped Jose to care for Alva and Darwin. Had Carolina been aware of the resources offered by pro-life groups such as this one, it is unlikely that she would be dead.

Jammie “Sarah” Garcia Yanez-Villegas, 15 (USA 1992)
Tumblr media
Jammie Garcia, identified in some news sources as Jammie Garcia Yanez-Villegas, was a 15-year-old girl who was living with her common law husband, a man who had already had one baby with young Jammie. When Jammie became pregnant again, she was brought to the A to Z abortion facility in Houston in 1994. Jammie, or “Sarah” as she would be known later, would suffer a horrible fate.
Abortionist John Coleman killed Jammie’s unborn baby on February 18, 1994. Only four days later, on February 23, Jammie was in the Intensive Care Unit of a Houston hospital, with spiking fever, chills, nausea, pain, respiratory distress, a distended abdomen, low blood oxygen levels, and foul-smelling discharge. An examination revealed inflammation and a tear in her cervix that was oozing pus. The teenager’s condition deteriorated, and she died in the ICU on March 2.
An autopsy done on her body showed the extent of the damage that the young girl had suffered. Jammie’s body was wracked with abscesses, spreading infection that had entered her body through the damage the abortion had done to her uterus. Her brain, liver and lungs were severely swollen. Her liver and lungs weighed twice what they should have from the inflammation.
Jammie’s painful death brought a response. An inspection was conducted of the “safe and legal” abortion facility that killed her.
What the inspection uncovered was disgusting. The staff were not adequately trained in how to properly sterilize instruments. The administrator, Kristen Hing Fehr, was aware of the fact that the autoclave used to sterilize instruments was not functioning properly. As for the instruments themselves, “two loop forceps, two tenaculums and one curette were found to have small particles of dried brownish-dark red material on them. Three speculums were found to have small particles of dried clear material on them.” “The only sterilized abortion tray in the procedure room was found to contain a curette with a loop whose edge was visibly jagged instead of smooth.” (Source: Travis County District Court Cause No. 94-07517)
The abortionist who killed Jammie was John Coleman, who did not sterilize or replace the filthy surgical tools. Coleman, who suffered from emphysema, died only three days after Jammie. The facility’s employees reported being unsure about Coleman's ability to operate given the fact that he was dying and that his hands constantly shook.
No “back alley abortion” with a rusty coat hanger could have possibly done more damage to Jammie and her baby than the fully legal abortion that left her body ravaged by raging infections.
Jammie’s parents were not notified or asked for permission before the abortion that killed their teenage daughter. Parental consent laws could have saved her. A law known as “Sarah’s Law” to protect her identity was proposed to require parental consent for underage abortion clients.
But abortion advocates released Jammie’s personal information soon after, claiming that Sarah’s Law wouldn’t have saved her and that Pro-Lifers had intentionally misrepresented her case. They demanded that Sarah’s Law should not be instated and that the background information on “Sarah” be censored.
Finally, Sacramento Superior Court Judge Michael P. Kenny ruled that the information about Sarah could stay on the ballot. The information on the ballot talks about Jammie’s death and reads: "Sarah was only 15 when she had a secret abortion. Had someone in her family known about the abortion, Sarah’s life could have been saved."
During the hearing, attorney Beth Porter, who represented Planned Parenthood, the abortion business challenging the law, identified Sarah as 15-year-old Jammie Garcia Yanez-Villegas who was living with her common law husband at the time of the abortion. Porter claimed that as a result, she would not have qualified for the parental notification law in California if it were in place at the time.
Meanwhile, Catherine Short said Jamie never told the abortion facility she was in a common law marriage before the abortion and the abortion facility never asked. The teenager would have qualified for the law because California law has different common law marriage statutes than Texas. Not all states would have legally recognized the common law marriage between a grown man and a 15-year-old girl. "Had someone in her family known, Sarah’s life could have been saved," Short said.
Previously, a representative of the group backing the parental notification measure said it doesn’t matter if Sarah was married or not at the time of her death because teenage girls lack the capacity to make major health decisions on their own and should have parental involvement to learn about the risks and alternatives.
"She was still 15 and was not equipped to make medical decisions on her own, whether she was living with the father of her child or not," the representative said. Physicians in Jammie’s case stated that, had an adult family member been aware that she had undergone an abortion, her life likely could have been spared.
Jammie did not have to die. Neither did her baby. The least we can do is protect more children from suffering the same gruesome fate.

“The unborn” are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they don’t resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct; unlike widows, they don’t ask you to question patriarchy; unlike orphans, they don’t need money, education, or childcare; unlike aliens, they don’t bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. It’s almost as if, by being born, they have died to you. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus but actually dislike people who breathe.
Prisoners? Immigrants? The sick? The poor? Widows? Orphans? All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible? They all get thrown under the bus for the unborn."

Swati Jamdare, 26 (India 2017)
Abortion in India disproportionately kills thousands of girls, so in an effort to end sex-discrimination abortions, the Prenatal Diagnostic Techniques Act 1994 was passed, making it illegal to run sex-determination testing before birth. Abortion itself still legal in India, and it still continues to kill thousands of girls daily.
An abortionist in Sangli was a key suspect in a mass femicide ring. Starting in 2009, Babasaheb Khidrapure carried out illegal sex-determination testing and killed unborn baby girls for money. His wife knew what he was doing and begged him to stop his crime spree, but she didn’t call the police because she was afraid of what he would do to her as revenge. The crimes went unnoticed until Khidrapure conducted an abortion on 26-year-old Swati Jamdare.
Swati’s illegal testing showed that she was having a daughter. Khidrapure performed the abortion and killed Swati along with her daughter on February 28, 2017. Police were then finally alerted to the crime spree that had already killed so many.
Police raided the facility and discovered no less than 19 dead baby girls nearby. The investigation continued and at least 14 criminals involved were arrested.
When his wife had previously confronted him about what he had done, Khidrapure tried to excuse the killings. He stated that “it (abortion) was not a crime” and actually claimed to have been helping poor families. Apparently killing girls and women was his idea of helping.
Activists condemned the killings as rampant female feticide and followed the case. Even if Khidrapure will be preventing from killing more victims, it’s already too late for Swati Jamdare and her child.

FACT: Banning abortion dramatically reduces the rate of abortion— and the number of women dying from abortion
Restrictive state-level abortion policies are associated with not having an abortion at all. Calculated to account for the rate of criminal/illegal abortions.
“Women who lived in a state where abortion access was low were more likely than women living in a state with greater access to use highly effective contraceptives rather than no method” Not only are abortion rates lower where abortions are illegal, but unwanted pregnancy rates too. People are more careful. (From the Guttmacher Institute, former statistics arm of Planned Parenthood.) https://www.guttmacher.org/journals/psrh/2015/05/state-abortion-context-and-us-womens-contraceptive-choices-1995-2010
29% of Medicaid eligible pregnant women who would have an abortion with Medicaid coverage, instead give birth. Calculated to account for the rate of criminal/illegal abortions. https://bmcwomenshealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12905-019-0775-5
Analysis of statewide data from the three States indicated that following restrictions on State funding of abortions, the proportion of reported pregnancies resulting in births, rather than in abortions, increased in all three States. Calculated to account for the rate of criminal/illegal abortions. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1580169/pdf/pubhealthrep00193-0013.pdf
Approximately one-fourth of women who would have Medicaid-funded abortions instead give birth when this funding is unavailable … Studies have found little evidence that lack of Medicaid funding has resulted in illegal abortions. Calculated to account for the rate of criminal/illegal abortions.
We find that a 100-mile increase in distance to the nearest clinic is associated with 30.7 percent fewer abortions and 3.2 percent more births. Calculated to account for the rate of criminal/illegal abortions.
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pam.22263
rate of abortion is found to be lower in states where access to providers is reduced and state policies are restrictive. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9099567/
A wait time as short as 72 hours is enough to start decreasing abortion rates. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1049386716300603
Abortion decreased after being restricted: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4050978/
Michigan banned Medicaid from paying for abortion. Abortion rates dropped. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8135922/
The farther away a woman is from an abortion facility, the less likely she is to get one: https://www.jstor.org/stable/2134397?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents
Some restrictions were enacted in Eastern Europe in the 80s and 90s. The rates of abortion AND pregnancy rates both decreased.
Fetal development information and required waiting periods lead to less abortion:
A study in Louisiana and Maryland found that laws against abortion were effective at stopping abortions
Countries with abortion bans also have dramatically lower maternal mortality compared to other countries in the region with dangerously permissive abortion laws.
“Contrary to the notion proposing a negative impact of restrictive abortion laws on maternal health, the abortion mortality ratio did not increase after the abortion ban in Chile. Rather, it decreased over 96 percent.”
Mexican states that ban and restrict abortion have better MMR than permissive states: “Over the 10-year period, states with less permissive abortion legislation exhibited lower Maternal Mortality Rates than more permissive states.”
Poland bans all abortion except LotM and has the world’s lowest MMR (2/100000). Malta bans almost all abortions and has MMR of 6/100000
It also works in reverse. Multiple countries have seen an increase in MMR after legalizing abortion.
Guyana legalized abortion and achieved the worst MMR on the continent. (Compare that to Chile, which has constitutional protections for the unborn and an MMR that dropped by over 96% AFTER abortion was banned.)
Ethiopia legalized abortion and it made MMR worse: “Although abortion was not legalised on demand, it was legalised on broad socio-economic grounds: the Center for Reproductive Rights place it in the same category as the UK and Finland which, while not strictly allowing abortion on demand, do allow something close to that in practice.” … “Over the period of legalisation, the proportion of women with septic shock more than doubled, with the same result for organ failure. The proportion admitted to intensive care nearly tripled. Between 2008 and 2014, the percentage of women receiving post-abortion care who have severe complications increased by over 50%, from 7% to 11%. During this time, the proportion of women presenting with organ failure quadrupled, the proportion with peritonitis quintupled, and the proportion with shock nearly doubled.”
Ireland’s once-stellar MMR also increased after legalizing abortion. (Compare to Poland and Malta with almost total bans and to the UK where abortion is essentially legal in demand up to the second trimester.)
The pattern repeats in Asia. Nepal, where there is no restriction on abortion, has one of the world’s highest maternal mortality rates. (The lowest in the region is Sri Lanka, with a rate fourteen times lower than Nepal and very good restrictions on abortion.)
In addition, less people are being lured into abortion under the false impression that it’s “safe and legal”. If any of them die of illegal abortion, it’s because they knowingly committed a crime. There will no longer be cases like 17-year-old Roselle Owens, Sarah Dunn, Tonya Reaves and Cree Erwin-Sheppard (to name a few) who were killed by abortion because they were lied to about the risks.

Women have statistically more chance of catching a STD during sex (even using a condom) than dying out of childbirth, yet you don't see abortionists advocate against (premarital) sex like they do against pregnancy.
Their real concern is definitely not protecting women health.
