Another NYC billboard…

This one is messed up!

I agree.

It IS messed up that that billboard is stating a FACT. The fact that over one half of all African American pregnancies end in abortion. The fact that 80+% of abortion mills are in minority neighborhoods.

It IS messed up.

And yet WE are the racist ones.

latinagabi

yes, you are the racist ones. where are you after those brown babies are born? do you speak up when they’re hunted down and beaten by the police? do you speak up against a system that systematically works to oppress them, making the decision to have a child so much harder because having a child is so much more than giving birth? are you going to help pay for their healthcare? schooling? housing? food? Where are you when it comes to discussing why the fuck is the system made so that PoC have less access to a better education, financial aid, work etc. Don’t pretend to care about brown babies when they’re beaten and killed every day and you people are no where to be found. Racist piece of shit.

A few years ago, I read an article where the mother of this child was actually upset at how her daughter’s photo was used.

Here it is: http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/mother-girl-featured-shocking-anti-abortion-billboard-outraged-ad-apology-article-1.135168

antiprolife

Reminder that the claim that 80% of abortion clinics are located in minority neighborhoods is a complete and utter lie propagated by anti-choicers. The real percentage of abortion clinics located in predominantly black neighborhoods is 9%.

63% are located near neighborhoods that are made up of mostly non-hispanic white people. [x]

But of course instead of maybe taking a look at the reason many PoC seek out abortions, anti-choicers would rather make up statistics and cry “I’m not racist! Pro-choicers are racist because they let PoC make their own decisions!”

(I also love that these kinds of statements come straight from people who will appropriate tragedies like slavery, genocide, or the murder of PoC and pretend they’re equivalent to abortion. So not racist.)

Why Women Are Shouting Out Their Abortion Stories On Twitter

myrosecolouredgirl

mother teresa is being canonized (named a catholic saint) tomorrow so i just want to remind you all that she watched thousands of bengalis die and enjoyed it because she thought the denial of medical care and the prolonging of suffering brought one closer to god

chatulah-deactivated20190219

she covered up catholic sexual abuse in churches and supported pedophile priests.

akadefenders-deactivated2018120

For everyone going source??? Here’s some on her medical neglect and here’s some on her pedophilia apologism.

princessnijireiki

she just got canonized today, sunday, september 4th, 2016, as “saint teresa of calcutta,” adding insult to injury. (the vatican uses the old spelling for kolkata.) a prayer was also delivered at the vatican in bengali. pope francis described her as “a generous dispenser of divine mercy” and advised, “may she be your model of holiness.”

the two miracles posthumously ascribed to her (bc the catholic church requires two documented “miracles” for sainthood) are apparently an indian woman named monica besra’s cured stomach cancer in 2002 following prayers to mother teresa— though besra was also undergoing medical treatment at the time; and a brazilian marcilio haddad andrino’s recovery from a coma due to either a brain infection or brain cancer in late 2008 in the same manner (aka, “miraculous healing of the sick” via “divine intervention”).

naturally, as an extension of half century plus of explicitly and exclusively missionary work, one of her aims was also conversion of hindus to catholicism rather than motivation by altruism; so bear that in mind when she talked about the divinity in suffering and who she was talking to + talking about and why. mother teresa died in 1997, but was fast-tracked for beatification almost immediately afterwards in a process started by pope john paul ii, largely because of her fame and recognizability.

“I understand how grave is the scandal touching the priesthood in the U.S.A. and how careful we must be to guard the purity and reputation of that priesthood,” the letter states. “I must say, however, that I have confidence and trust in Fr. McGuire and wish to see his vital ministry resume as soon as possible.”

This is what she wrote when she knew why her friend has been dismissed. No mention of the children, just protection of an image.

I wish more people would pay ATTENTION to this!!!

Hi everyone! This is an illustrated guide I made as part of my co-admining work at The Middle Eastern Feminist on Facebook! It will be published there shortly. The technique that is displayed here is a genuine one used in psychology - I forgot the name and couldn’t find it again so if you know about it, feel free to tell me! Some could say: “Yes but you can use that technique for instances of harassment other than Islamophobic attacks!”, and my reply is: Sure! Please do so, it also works for other “types” of harassment of a lone person in a public space!! However I’m focusing on protecting Muslims here, as they have been very specific targets lately, and as a French Middle Eastern woman, I wanted to try and do something to raise awareness on how to help when such things happen before our eyes - that way one cannot say they “didn’t know what to do”! I’d like to insist on two things: 1) Do not, in any way, interact with the attacker. You must absolutely ignore them and focus entirely on the person being attacked! 2) Please make sure to always respect the wishes of the person you’re helping: whether they want you to leave quickly afterwards, or not! If you’re in a hurry escort them to a place where someone else can take over - call one of their friends, or one of yours, of if they want to, the police. It all depends on how they feel! For my fellow French-speakers: I will translate it in French and post it on my page as soon as I can :) Please don’t hesitate to share this guide as it could push a lot of people to overcome bystander syndrome!! Lots of love and stay safe!

For people wondering how to be a decent ally to Muslims irl and not just online: PLEASE DO THIS! I cannot count the number of times i have been alone in the street or on the metro minding my own business and gotten screamed at or randomly interrogated (or even touched) by strangers. Its incredibly frightening and usually im worried i will get followed off the bus etc. It’s a LOT less likely that i will get harassed (or that harassment will continue) if i am not alone. Stuff like this would be a huge boon.

Best not to exchange with haters.

(I’m a manager. I am ringing up a woman I have sold things to before. We are making small talk as I ring her up. Note: I’m a lesbian.)

Customer: “I can’t believe the president came out in support for gay marriage!” Me: “I know; kind of unbelievable!” Customer: “That f** lover is going to burn in hell for that!” Me: *biting my tongue* “Okay.” (I finish ringing her up and hand the customer her bags.) Customer: “They should round up all the gays and put them down.” Me: “That would be bad for me, seeing as I am a lesbian.”

(The woman turns pale and walks out without saying a word. A few hours later, I get a call from the manager of another one of our stores. On the line, I can hear the same customer I previously sold items to ranting.)

Manager: *also a woman* “So, this woman is here wanting to exchange a bunch of stuff from your store. When I asked her what was wrong with the items, she said you tainted them; I have no idea what she is talking about. Could you maybe clear this up for me?” Me: “Well, I bet it is because she found out I was gay.” Manager: “I see.” *starts talking in sultry voice* “Well, I’ll see you tonight for our date. You should put on that that black lace bra and panty set I got you for your birthday! I love you!” *hangs up*

I am very confused, seeing as I have never dated that manager, nor did she ever get me underwear, and as far as I know, she is not gay.

Fast forward a few days later to the manager weekly conference call: apparently, the customer left the other store after thinking the other manager was also gay. That manager then called every other store in the area and told everyone about the customer. Over the next few days, the customer went to every store in a 20 mile radius trying to exchange the ‘tainted goods’. Everyone she talked to pretended to be gay when working with her and she left every time. To my knowledge, she never got her exchange.
