Excluding a group of people for your own benefit is BS.

Baby Turtles Are More Alive Than Baby Humans?

itsnotachoiceitsachild: Our government protects sea turtle eggs because they recognize that a fertilized turtle egg is a real, live, baby turtle. Our government doesn’t protect baby humans, because, even though it’s a fertilized egg, they refuse to see it as a real baby human, instead it’s just a “clump of cells.” What sense does that make? They protect sea turtle eggs because: 1) They...

Anonymous asked: my mother got pregnant with me when she was 18. she didn't want me, so she gave me up for adoption. by your wording every child a wanted child, she should have aborted me. but i am thankful that my mother didn't make that choice. so many said she should have, and tried to convince her to. i am happy she didn't.

Anonymous asked: Should women be allowed to have an abortion for any reason at any point in pregnancy? I know you can't get an abortion in the 3rd trimester unless it's for health reasons, but don't you think it should be for ANY reason? Because it's kind of limiting people who change their mind last minute.

Anonymous asked: I've had two abortions in the early 2000's. I got married in 2006, couldn't get pregnant so after a year of trying I went to the doctors who did a pelvic exam and found scaring on my cervix. Which he said was most likely from the abortion since nothing else could have caused it. I went to the best office there was, and paid a LOT for each abortion. Nobody told me it could screw up...

Anonymous asked: Yeah, see, I'd rather listen to someone who's Trans* than cis. Kthxbai.

Anonymous asked: "complement" (accompaniment, sometimes accompanying opposite). not compliment (flattering remark). not trying to be rude or anything, just honestly trying to help.

Abortion supporters and the pro choice movement

eternalhomeinheaven: Apparently a 12 month old baby being dependent on her caretakers is totally different than an unborn human being dependent on the woman carrying her. Really? When will the blatant ignorance of these people end? Seems to me they are will to deny all logic, truth, and morality in order to support a propaganda of legal murder. Please everyone, pray for each person who supports...

Anonymous asked: are you trans or cis? what do you think of trans* people who disagree with you about this language inclusivity issue? because there are many of them, even here on Tumblr, who happen to think that discussing the abortion experiences of women AS women is totally acceptable. there's room for both conversation. it doesn't have to be either-or.

autumn-and-eve asked: Uhm, no female does not have everything to do with organs. Female is also a gendered word, and is equivalent to woman.

Anonymous asked: Why can't we just say "female"? You can only have a uterus and be child bearing if you are female, regardless of what gender you are. Its inclusive to all people who can get pregnant.

mediumtrip asked: You have now called people who say "women" instead of "people" both assholes and bigots. And using "people" DOES erase the sexism - you can't have it both ways. I'd really like to keep following you, but I'm not sure I can.

autumn-and-eve asked: May I add a less-than-polite comment? What is it with cis people wanting to make everything about themselves? You know how hard it is to find OBGYNs who respect gender identity right? Cis feminists: Shut up and learn to be accepting.

Anonymous asked: Saying people instead of women is ignoring the sexism, the actual fight. You can't do that.

What an abortion really is.

fragmentsofsurvival: Yesterday I had my abortion. At the clinic, you are not allowed to take pictures for confidentiality of other patients and doctors/medical personnel. I was treated very kindly, and taken through all the correct steps. I was extremely nauseous in the morning when we went to the building, but still in alright spirits. They make you do paperwork to get yourself acquainted...

quietly-living-life asked: So do you think I'm not a decent person simply because I use the word "women" instead of the word "people" when I debate abortion? If so, then why be so judgmental of me, and why be so quick to hate me? I thought liberals, and social justice advocates, were supposed to love and care about everyone, not just the members of the "cause du jour." Seriously, can you...

Submission: My two cents that didn't fit in the...

I’d be wary about labelling people bigots solely because they say “women” instead of “people” in abortion debates. Fact remains that anti-choice activism is rooted in misogyny. By leaping at people’s throats because of a word and an issue they might never have even thought about does nothing to advance our cause. On the contrary, “men can get pregnant,...

amaltheadreams asked: Be wary about encouraging anti-choicers to "take the child"! My grandmother was an anti-choice activist, and did do just that. They convinced two women to live with them and give them their children. While I love my family, that was not an acceptable action. My heart goes out to these two women that I will never meet, because they were pressured into a choice that maybe wasn't for...

Anonymous asked: What can I do about a clinic escort that berated me for appearing male and getting an abortion? She told me I was a shame to women everywhere, \:

Anonymous asked: How do you feel about prochoicers who are applauded for being cissexist?

Anonymous asked: I've been following you for a long time, even before your hiatus, and know your pro-choice arguments very well. I'm interested in knowing you a little more as a person, and I've never really seen you introduce yourself or talk about yourself much.

lovelovetenshi asked: Oops, I didn't mean to make it seem like adoption was always the way to go. I am pro-choice, when it comes to abortion, as you are. Adoption isn't as easy a process as many believe it to be. I'd like to ask some pro-choicers that are so adamant about adoption-- well, why don't you take the child? Every child should be a child that is wanted. It's sad that this isn't...

Anonymous asked: Is it terrible, when feeling really low, to wish you could have been aborted? Is thinking this setting things back? I suppose you don't have to answer this. I won't mind, truly. /endconfession

ggc1756 asked: I see a lot of pro-life people say things along the lines of, "If you talk to someone who has been adopted, they will agree that abortion isn't the answer" I was adopted and LUCKY to have found a loving home where I've been provided for unlike many. But I would never take anyone's right to choose away from them, and while I'm glad that I am alive today, I would never...

lovelovetenshi asked: To that last anon: I am an adopted child, and so are two of my brothers. I love my parents, and I can't imagine not being adopted (haha). I also want to adopt when I am older. I however, want to have a child. People should not be put down for wanting to give birth to children, instead of adopting. It's a personal thing, really. The only thing that irritates me is when people think that...

Anonymous asked: Why would you give birth when you can adopt?

therachael asked: I love your blog and I myself have had an abortion and PLAN to adopt and have my own. I grew up next to foster kids many never adopted out I rather my spawn not live through that pain. I think many pro lifers don't adopt nor do they want the "special" kids or older ones that I myself will adopt. So yeah judge me pro lifers

jump-in-the-fountain-of-youth: - Rick Santorum, on his wife’s late-term abortion. So basically, we’re a bunch of faceless drones whose rights and physical health are completely insignificant to you because you don’t know us on a personal basis. That quote was just a nice way of saying “I don’t give a fuck about any of you.” And there are people out there who want this man to be president. ...

Let me just say. Abortion is NEVER "acceptable."...

glitter-femin1sts: Why doesn’t the pregnant person have a plan or a purpose? Ugh, my eyes are rolling into the back of my head.

Anonymous asked: How do you know if abortion is right for you? I am looking through my options at the moment, I don't even know if I'm pregnant but I'd like to be prepared, and they all seem so.. scary. Abortion, adoption, and keeping the baby all have a variety of pros/cons and each one could potentially work for me. I realize you can not answer for me, but perhaps shed some insight? I am very...

Anonymous asked: I'm a woman who regrets her abortion. I didn't want it, I was threatened with being thrown onto the streets and left on my own if I had it. No shelters were available. Every person has a right to control their own bodies. That being said, I AM STILL PRO CHOICE! My friend had one and it was the best decision of her life, her SO was abusive. No, abortion was not for me, and if I could take...

thisisablogduh: It honestly kind of disappoints me that 99% of Tumblr are pro-choice. Abortion has to be the one thing that bothers me the absolute most and it blows my mind that so many people can be okay with it. Not only am I okay with it, but I’m not okay with people not being okay with it. Pregnant people who live where abortion is illegal, restricted or even expensive are cornered...

I am pro-choice.

prolife101: I like to be able to choose things and I don’t want someone else choosing things for me. I like having a choice between ice cream flavors, TV shows, music, friends, types of food, schools, etc. I think EVERYONE is pro-choice and wants to make decisions on their own. The thing is that I don’t believe in the choice to kill. I am against abortion. Call yourself whatever you want,...

dreams-from-my-father: Will black people be wiped out for the second time on African soil by Arabs while the international community - that armed and supported the rebels - says NOTHING?? The Tawerghas, a tribe of black Libyans in the South of the country, are being systematically targeted and killed by the new regime of Tripoli!! ...

thealiensmadethisblog: im pro choice i really am but i refuse to chill with the main stream pro choicers until they acknowledge that i too, as a man, can get pregnant and have a baby because really saying that “woman can do what they want with their bodies” is just reinforcing the idea that im a woman which is called cissexism and im kinda tired of being viewed as a woman simply because i...

Anonymous asked: How many children does your mother have? What was birth control availability/family planning like when she was a young adult? I'm actually doing a report and this is amazingly relevant!

Anonymous asked: I got pregnant my junior year of highschool. We talked and talked about what we were going to do, and I decided to have an abortion. I didn't really want to, but it was the only thing I COULD do. My family would kick me out, his family wouldn't have anything to do with either of us if I were to go through with the pregnancy. I loved my baby, and yes to me it was a baby. It was my only...

On another not so abortion related note, before I left however many months ago $100 from ads alone was donated to Planned Parenthood. Crafts for choice twice that. So thank you guys all for contributing!
