  • ‘Late-term abortion’ is not a scientific or medical term - but rather a loaded and misleading phrase used by anti-abortion advocates specifically to muddy the conversation around reproductive freedom.
    The next time you hear someone use the phrase ‘late-term abortion,’ show them this video. (via uncertainlycarly on TikTok)

    The people making the decision should be the people _in the room._ Not the people 20 counties over in a government courthouse who have to be brought up to speed with emails.
    The sad fact is that some of these fetuses will never be people. It'd be awesome if they would, like this mother wanted for both of her twins. We should just stop making the decision harder for her.

    I hope your message gets through. But let me just point out that if Trump is elected in November, it will be because 30 to 40,000,000 women voted for him and 10 to 15,000,000 women who live in Republican states did not vote at all. Why are women so cruel to other women? Why do women believe what you are trying to debunk in this video? is it possible that women just like to be cruel to other women?

      White women. The majority of white people, including women, have voted Republican since 1964, the year key civil rights laws passed. Why has a very simple answer: They vote their race.
      Just as an example, look into critiques of how viciously racist the show The Handmaid's Tale was. And the response I got from white women about this? "Well, it's about women, so I don't even need to look at those critiques. They're irrelevant." That's literally what they said to me.
      As long as "women" means "white women who have the right to white male superiority" to white women, women as a whole will suffer in the same way poor whites suffer from accepting their racist bargain. The rest of us already got our communities moving towards liberation.

    Most people understand this and do NOT have an issue with terminations of non-viable pregnancies. The problem lies when a woman can exercise her right to terminate if she chooses a full term including up to delivery a viable/healthy pregnancy.

      Unfortunately, many SA victims do try your birth control method only to be forced into pregnancy anyway.

    • @Mr.Bo.jangles

      Mandatory vasectomies is a very viable concept.....
      In terms of the big picture:
      1. Stops unchosen pregnancy
      2. Stops mental and physical life long scars on female children from unchosen pregnancy.
      3. Stops young men from being held accountable to 18 years of child support by an unchosen pregnancy.
      4. Stops fathers from going to jail for failure to make support payments.
      5. Removes the need for social programs.
      Which, in my opinion will, over time, result in every single child being a chosen child and the return of the family unit with fathers in the home to raise their children and to give their sons a hands on role model.
      Or....... you know, the government can give women's bodies back.

    From the National Institute of Health:

    "elective" means by choice, without any medical necessity.
    *_"A more recent Guttmacher study focused on abor, shon after 20 weeks of gestation and similarly concluded that women seeking late-term abor, shons were not doing so for reasons of fetal anomaly or life endangerment."_*
