LOL yes. Yes, I would love to work in an abortion clinic.

prolifeproliberty

Why is that?

lepus

Because they provide a necessary and important service to people seeking abortion. When I had my abortions I was grateful for the staff and doctors. Abortion providers are wonderful people.

prolifeproliberty

I am so sorry to hear about your abortions. Why did you feel they were necessary?

lepus

Don’t be sorry about my abortions. I’m not. They were necessary because I didn’t want to be pregnant, and I was.

prolifeproliberty

Did anyone at the abortion facility inform you that your babies were alive and human, and that abortion would kill them?

lepus

The abortion facility wanted to make sure that I did want to have an abortion. They wanted to make sure I wasn’t coerced. They explained medically what was going to happen. They also did an ultrasound to make sure how far along I was. However, I didn’t need the clinic to tell me that the fetus’s where human. Of course I knew the fetus’s in my uterus where human. What else would they be? Yes, I knew that an abortion would stop their growth inside my uterus and the fetus would be taken out and I would no longer be pregnant. Why do you ask that question? It seems terribly condescending.

prolifeproliberty

I ask because it’s hard for me to believe that you knew they were living human beings and you chose to kill them because you didn’t want to be pregnant.

Do you believe that all human beings have equal rights and equal value? Or do some human beings get to decide that other human beings are expendable?

lepus

When that human is inside my body, I make the decision.

zinge

Yeah, agreed. I had my abortion BECAUSE I didn’t want a living creature inside my body, taking my nutrients, making me sick, getting bigger, stretching my organs, muscles, and skin out, possibly changing my body for the rest of my life, and then having to either give birth to it or be cut open to end the pregnancy.

Like, even if someone offered to adopt my fetus and wanted to pay me money, I wouldn’t have done it. I was not and will never be in the position to have a baby, even just to give birth. It’s not what I want for myself or my future, or the future of my fiance and his family who are already incredibly burdened. No thank you.

Like, believe it or not, a lot of people choose abortion with full knowledge about how it works and how pregnancy works. More than 60% of abortion-seekers already have one or more children. Don’t act like we’re fools who don’t know what’s best for ourselves, our futures, and our bodies. Don’t condescend to us. We’re not uneducated. We made the choice we did for a reason. Thanks.

I’d love to work in an abortion clinic. Hell, my ultimate pipe dream is to work for Planned Parenthood someday so that wouldn’t be too far off from it.

And unsurprisingly, OP is a condescending ass who thinks that the people who work for abortion clinics somehow don’t know what the fuck they’re doing in their own profession.

As a parent, I’m grateful that abortions are legal. I know what pregnancy and childbirth have done to my body, and I know the challenges of raising a happy, well-adjusted child. Might I add, she was planned.

Knowing now what kind of work, finances and energy are necessary to be responsible for a life, I would never wish these things on any person who did not feel safe, capable, or willing.

I’m so sick of young women saying that they’re virgins because they “respect themselves”

your virginity is not a “gift”

your virginity is not even a thing

it’s totally cool to care about your sexual debut, but please do not use the purity myth to devalue other women

Here’s the orbital period of our solar system’s 8 major planets (how long it takes each to travel around the sun). Their size is to scale and their speed is accurate relative to Earth’s. The repetition of each GIF is proportional to their orbital period. Mercury takes less than 3 months to zoom around Sol, Neptune takes nearly 165 years.

fuck this gifset do you know how long i sat here waiting for fucking neptune to drag its lazy ass into the frame

If anyone in California is interested in adopting a dog or a cat, Kerns County Animal Shelter ( one of the most disgraceful shelters in California ) is being shut down. Dogs are being sold for 15$ and cats for 5$ ( all are fixed with shots. )

Every animal will be put down by September 30th.

Go here for more information.

SeaWorld’s worst nightmare: Lawmaker proposes ban on orcas in captivity

WE ARE SO CLOSE GUYS PLEASE SIGN THIS

——————————

I’m adding some helpful links here since this got more popular and more notes than I’ve ever had, a few people posted things varying from not being sure what to do with the orcas if this passes, not having any understanding of why we’re fighting for their retirement to sea pens, and some straight up Pro-captivity propaganda. Since I may not be able to catch every question I get via notes since they’re going up very fast right now, I’m going to link a few of my replies here so people have a better understanding of what we’re fighting for and why. Some images in the replies may be graphic, but please bear with me- If we don’t see whats going on, if you don’t see it with your own eyes, you can convince yourself everything is okay, and it isn’t.

1. What are we planning to do with the whales since we can’t release them (Due to health issues, or being born in captivity)

2. Why would you ban this? Seeing them at seaWorld is awesome! (In which I discuss some main topics about things going on that SeaWorld can’t deny but still tries)

3. When a Pro-Cap posts Pro-SeaWorld stuff about how the Orcas are fine (They’re not)

4. When someone claiming to work at SeaWorld says the whales are fine (you’re kidding right?)

5. Further concerns with captives being released (Honestly we DON’T want to release them into the wild! Really really!)

6. Again about releasing the whales (and even more in detail than the other two. This one is entirely dedicated to why we cannot release the whales and how we want them retired to sea pens and sea sanctuaries!)

Another way to present the 9 types of intelligence as exemplified by my How Do We Measure Intelligence post.

The basic idea is that different people are good at different things. These 9 probably don’t cover the wide range of smarts we all possess, but it’s a start.

As Albert Einstein said, "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

Confined by JoshuaDunlop It’s a good thing mermaids aren’t real…

emptythetanks

People keeping an intelligent non-human species trapped in a concrete tank? Completely disregarding who they are as individuals, for entertainment that is poorly disguised as “education” and “conservation”?

Wait, this sounds eerily familiar…

MAN THIS IS POWERFUL

wildfairy

Aries - They don’t deserve you, they never did. Stop holding yourself responsible for their mistakes. Move on. Taurus - Hold your head up and be selfish. There’s something admirable about being selfless, but there’s something spineless in constantly bowing down to everyone else’s needs. Gemini - Look up the definition of ruthless. Bewitching. Scathing. Encompass it. Cancer - Fuck “less is more”. If you want more, get it. Don’t let them criticize you for what’s in your best interest. If you want the world, make it happen. Leo - You’ve spent all this time cutting out the parts of you that they don’t like. Burning. Ripping. Slicing. Whatever way you can get rid of them. Do you even know who you are anymore? Do you even like this person they’ve created? Virgo - Knock it off with the tantrum. Not everybody can stay. You can’t always get what you want. Forget the sugarcoating, this is harsh, unwavering, and I won’t let you down gently. Libra - Stop comparing where you are now to where you thought you would be, where you thought you should be. Life changes. Shit happens. Roll with the punches. Scorpio - Lately you feel like this whole god-awful life is a rut, and quite frankly, I’ve had it up to here with your cynicism. How many times have you had to come out on the side, kicking and screaming? You’ve lost count. Do it again, again, again. Don’t you dare look at all that you’ve accomplished and say it wasn’t worth the fight. Sagittarius - You’re always changing. Always growing. Learning, falling, failing, getting back up. Well down. Keep it up. You don’t see it now but you’re doing just fine. None of us have it all figured out. We aren’t expecting you to have all the answers. Capricorn - Kindness doesn’t grow on tress. (Thanks for the reminder.) Forgiveness isn’t deserved, it’s earned. (If you walked away from this with one thing, let it be that.) Apologies shouldn’t make you feel even guiltier after they’re given. Aquarius - Your comfort zone gets awfully lonely after awhile. I’m tired of trying to break you out of that shell. Either you want to grow or you want to stay the same forever. It’s your choice. Pisces - Forget about the lists, the pros and cons. Don’t take the safe route. I don’t care about you taking the high road right now. Just go with your gut. If you need to walk away, I won’t stop you.

what she says: i’m fine

what she means: something else entirely because women are allowed to have complex feelings without revealing them and shouldn’t be stereotyped as emotional and cold and be made into a joke

Best advice my 19 year old roommate gave me

“Just give him three days. Wait three days, no texts, no calls, no nothing. Then see if he comes back” “What if I can’t wait three days tho??” “You see the thing is, you keep running back to him and he gets off on it. He knows he’s gonna have you coming back to him. Why not give him three days and make him realize, oh shit it’s serious, I’m really losing her!” “What if he doesn’t even come back?” “Then why would you wanna be with someone that doesn’t want you? Why would you wanna be with someone like that?”

True facts.

The LEAST you can do in a relationship is tell the other person the SECOND you don’t feel the same anymore with your stupid ass. The fucking least. Instead of having them walk around happy like a dumb ass while you’re planning an escape route.

The year is 2015, and you still have to explain to adult men AND women that there’s no such thing as a “tight” or “loose” vagina, because it’s a muscle that expands and contracts depending on a variety of reasons. Or that a woman does not pee out of her vagina. Or that reaching an orgasm during sexual assault does not mean the person enjoyed it. Or that abortion is not the destruction of a fetus, but is of a clump of cells. That the length of a penis has NO relevance to the ability to preform well sexually, since the average vagina is only 3-4 inches long. That pubic hair is not unsanitary or gross, it actually helps protect the sex organs against bacteria, and shaving actually increases chance of infection, abscesses and rashes. But no, we don’t need comprehensive sex ed in America, we’re doing fine!
