Debunking pro life lie's and myths part 7
It's not the " baby's " fault it's father is a rapist
Neither is it the pregnant person fault they were raped , they were violated and to say the must be violated again for a zef ( Zigot , embryo , fetus ) is just blatantly wrong ,
No one is blaming the fetus , it isn't even a person to be blamed , but in this situation , it's not the victim , its just a shity situation and a fetus doesn't become priority .

Abortion is dangerous
Abortions are generally very safe and most women will not experience any problems. But like any medical treatment, there's a small risk that something could go wrong. The risk of complications increases the later in pregnancy an abortion is carried out.
Generally speaking abortion is safer than pregnancy and child birth

two major studies of pregnant rape victims found the 3/4 of those women chose to give birth
false , there are no major studies that even come close to that vague of a percentage and there is already a major study that debunks this

( https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8765248/ )
( the second graph explains the first one's orange in detail )
in reality most women pregnant from rape chose abortion . Also numbers would be higher if women who were raped got better medical help ( found out they were pregnant earlier ) , most women who chose not to abort because the found out late in the pregnancy . If women were given proper medical help the number would be higher .
93% of those who had abortions said it " has not been a good solution to their problems " and they " would not recommend it to others in their situation "
actually , women rarely regret their abortion , no matter the reason

abortion isn't needed
false , abortion is needed as the right to bodily autonomy , also some time its very necessary , like for example she might die or she will die , the fetus is dead , the fetus is dying , she was raped , ..... and the list goes on . not only abortion is wanted it is needed

Health care is a human right (and that includes abortion.)

They have bantu knots, purple makeup, a striped blue sweater, a plaid hot pink skirt, bright yellow socks and purple combat boots with blue shoelaces. There’s a speech bubble that says , ‘health care is a human right’ With a note that says ‘that includes abortion’

No Compromise - No Apology"

Don't give up , the fight is still going
Just in case you aren't clear on how things work, overturning Roe Vs. Wade will not make abortion illegal federally. Instead, it will give states the legal right to ban abortion, if they so choose, and many red states will attempt this if overturned. But, as of right now, the evening of May 2nd, no such decision has been made, there are no official proceedings, and nothing is set in stone. Now is the time to be loud.
for anyone who is currently panicked about the Supreme Court overturning roe v. wade:
it hasn't happened yet.
what was leaked was an initial draft of the majority opinion: it's the first indication of what the supreme court are leaning towards voting and why. (and by the way, these never get revealed to the public during current cases. this is a huge deal.)
"Justices can and sometimes do change their votes as draft opinions circulate and major decisions can be subject to multiple drafts and vote-trading, sometimes until just days before a decision is unveiled. The court’s holding will not be final until it is published, likely in the next two months." (X)
it is vital that people understand that it hasn't happened yet. and don't get me wrong: this is still very bad. my point isn't to give people a reason to stop caring. my point is, armed as we are with this leaked information, please please contact your state officials. support abortion rights initiatives as well as you are able.
send the Supreme Court every message we can that making this ruling would go against the public's wishes. turn public favor vehemently against them.
this hasn't happened yet. do not resign yourself to this future. do not panic. do not give up.
Breaking News: US ready to sink further into right wing theocracy
"The Supreme Court has voted to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito circulated inside the court and obtained by POLITICO.
The draft opinion is a full-throated, unflinching repudiation of the 1973 decision which guaranteed federal constitutional protections of abortion rights and a subsequent 1992 decision – Planned Parenthood v. Casey – that largely maintained the right. “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Alito writes.
“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” he writes in the document, labeled as the “Opinion of the Court.” “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”
Read the full piece here: https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/02/supreme-court-abortion-draft-opinion-00029473
CLARIFICATION:
"Every reporter picking up this Politico scoop needs to be very clear — this is a leak of a DRAFT. No ruling has been made public. If a patient has an appointment, they can continue to receive care. Those draconian anti-choice trigger laws in certain states DO NOT APPLY yet."
Christina Henderson
UPDATE:
"Supreme Court lawyer Neal Katyal: "My thoughts on politico story saying the Court voted to say Roe v. Wade is fully overruled. I’ve quickly scanned the draft opinion and it appears legitimate. This means there was a preliminary vote to fully overrule Roe V Wade and that a majority of the Court agreed.
This opinion says states can criminalize abortion, with no rape or incest exception. It is exactly the hardline position I’ve been saying the Court is going to impose for the last 3 years. It will set women back in profound ways. Congress must act ASAP."

The Supreme Court may toss Roe. But Congress can still preserve abortion rights.
A simple majority vote in the Senate would nullify the threat to reproductive health posed by the Mississippi case.
Readers, I'll post "what do we do now" info soon. In the meanwhile here's my post on the 100% hypocrisy of the so-called “Pro Life” movement
All the Trump-appointed justices blatantly lied, under oath, about settled law and Roe v Wade.
The judicial insurrection is 100% Republican.
The time for impeaching these liars is now. Perjury is the 'egregious breech of trust'.
Anyway
Another consequence of overturning Roe: charging mothers who don’t provide the absolute ‘best’ environments for their babies.
In 2019, a pregnant woman gets into an argument, and the other person shoots her in the stomach 5 times - obviously the baby is lost. The pregnant woman (who got shot) was charge with negligent homicide for ‘bringing her baby to the fight.’ It took 7 months of protest for her charges to be overturned.
Now that Roe is overturned? Can a mother be sued if she doesn’t take folic acid pills and her baby is born with spina bifida? What about the mom who doesn’t realize she was pregant until the 2nd trimester, drank in the 1st, and decides to keep the child? If her baby is born with fetal alcohol syndrome, is she charged with negligence for not keeping her body in tiptop shape, even though she didn’t know she was pregnant?
These are not hypotheticals. If a woman’s body is no longer her body, but *always* either a potential or future baby carrier, then we’re in for a whole host of crimes against pregnant people.

Note, I am finding these threads on the twitter feeds of ICU nurses who are now dreading the horrors that Roe falling will bring to their hospitals. This, on top of the horrors that they’ve seen and continue to see because of the pandemic. They were already exhausted and hanging by a thread.
My husband [ 26m] took out my IUD last night,
TW: ABUSIVE MARRIAGE , REPRODUCTIVE COERCION , PHYSICAL AND SEXUAL ASSAULT
So this will sound crazy , and I guess it kind of is .
I am 23F and have been married to my husband for 2 years .we have a 1.5 year old daughter . I love him so much and he is a great father . He I told him I wasn't sure when I'd feel ready flr another kid since I just got off maternity leave a year ago and am working full time .
In the past few months after our daughter turned 1 , he's been really vocal about his wish for another kid . we usually use the pull out method , but it got to the point where I didn't even trust him to pull out ( this was how our daughter was conceived actually ) . so last month I secretly booked an appointment with my doctor and he gave me an IUD despite my aversion to getting hormones .
My husband does not know about my IUD . He has not been pulling out very often which makes me glad I got the IUD . however , yesterday , he found out because he caught me reading about it on the Internet . He got angry at me for hiding it from him and when we were about to have sex that night , reached in there and tried to get it out , which hurt like hell . I was panicking and hitting him and yelling for him to stop , but he ignored me and managed to pull it out . he then threw it in the trash and told me that "those things" are not good for my body anyways .
I'm so shaken . I'm normally a very calm and tough person but he really scared me. He apologized to me this morning and said he was just angry for not telling him about the IUD and getting it done behind his back .
What should I do ? I feel violated . My husband has always been rather pushy and mad when he doesn't get his way , but he's never gone this far.

( the comments )
you need to go to a doctor IMMEDIATELY as he may of caused some serious damage to you. what happened was assault . regardless of his views that is disgusting and alarming .
You should go to a trusted family members or friend after the doctors .
( op , the poster ) : I dont actually feel much pain aside from when it initially came out . I feel embarrassed to tell my family dx what happened and im scared something may happen to him..
commenter to her : you're scared something might happen to him? you should be scared of what he might do to you . you need to be angry about how he's assaulted and violated you.
This guy wants to control you via your body and is treating you like an incubator , not as person with her own bodily autonomy and agency.
you should go to a doctor and then the cops . he's committed domestic violence on your person .
( comments without her reply )
You might feel scared to tell the doctor because you know deep down what your partner did wasn't right and you're scared the doctor is going to agree with you .
