Heyyy returning just to say that Cultureshift, the tumblr user who keeps remaking their blog to avoid a ban is back yet again at >confrontabortion<, and here’s the >masterpost< demonstrating why they’re a shitty individual and should never be back allowed on this site.
Block and report away everyone!
Lets Have a Talk
So it’s definitely been a while, I felt bad just disappearing for such a long period of time without any explanation. I’m going to do my best to kinda recap what’s been going on, and talk about what’s going to happen moving forward, tldr will be at the end.
It all started when I moved into a new place with some good friends of mine. The house is beautiful and it’s been honestly such a relief to be surrounded by people who truly and honestly get you and your personality, and vise versa. It was just hard to enjoy this new happiness because I was working a shit job that’s was slowly leeching away at me, I actually debated going back to therapy or back on meds it was such a dangerous strain on my mental health. I almost reached my breaking point, and I had to take a step back, so for the first time in my life I actually left a job with no notice. I took some time off from working, thanks to the savings I had, and reflected on how to move on. During that time of reflection I did set aside some time to reconnect with people I stopped talking ti, and many of my friends simply welcomed me back with open arms, happy that I was feeling better, I’m truly blessed to have them.
However.. I had to cut someone off. Someone who, once upon a time, was very important to me. They weren’t happy when I came back, not at all. They made me hate myself, I know I wasn’t exactly a good friend during that time I was dealing with my mental health issues, and I was trying to make up for it, but I didn’t deserve what they said to me. Not at all. It was clear at that point the relationship was no longer healthy, so I walked away. And it hurt. It hurt a lot.
Afterwards I started a new job, and I am unbelievably, 100% happier there. The people I work for are such a delight, and the staff there treats me like I’m family, like I’ve been there all this time. It’s been heavenly to actually look forward to working, to leave feeling accomplished. After the months of hardship I’ve been enduring it’s a breath of fresh air.
Now that I’m here, back on this account, reading over the pages and pages of work I’ve put into this blog, I’m nostalgic, and I miss it, but I know there’s really nothing left for me here anymore. Over the years it’s been feeling like every debate is the same, every post, just the same thing repeated over and over and I slowly got tired of having to write the same thing all the time. The same responses, the same debunking, it’s just exhausting. But I’ve met some amazing people through this blog and I’ve learned so much. I know for a fact that it’s changed and shaped me into the person I am today, and I’m so grateful for all the people who made my experience here amazing, despite all the negativity that came with it too. I wouldn’t have changed it for the world.
Tldr, I’ve been through a lot of hard times over the last few months, and now that I’m in a better place I feel like it’s time to say goodbye to this blog. I want to keep discovering myself, looking towards the future, so it’s time to move on. I’m still keeping the blog up though, for resources and learning material for anyone who needs it.
Thank you, all of you, from the bottom of my heart, all the people who followed me and the people who inspired me to do what I did here, I’ll treasure the years I spent on this blog for the rest of my life.
Good luck everyone, I love you all.
“Man I haven’t been on in ages, I wonder what the abortion tag looks li-”
For decades, the overwhelming majority of Americans have supported access to safe and legal abortion And now support for safe, legal abortion is at a record high, with about 7 in 10 Americans supporting Roe v. Wade. Americans need a Supreme Court nominee who will uphold our constitutional right to abortion. Text COURTS to 22422 to learn how you can #SaveRoe.
If you believe birth control, LGBTQ rights, economic equality, and freedom from violence should be no-brainers, take the Unstoppable pledge. A better world is possible. Together, we can build it.
Read Arwen Donahue on going to Kentucky’s last remaining abortion clinic.
I'm at a PP workshop and we're mobilizing people to take action against Trump's gag rule. The gag rule will keep doctors who provide services under Title X from talking about all healthcare options; this will keep 4 million people from being fully knowledgeable and freely able to choose their healthcare options. This isn't just about abortion; this is about breast cancer screenings, family planning, and more! I'm writing to pro-choice blogs in hopes we can get calls made, letters written, & more
I agree, this is hugely important and valuable work. How do we join this fight?
Planned Parenthood has information on the gag rule and what actions to take here. (Gendered language on the site; though I know PP is working on being more inclusive in their language in general.)
The form to submit to HHS Secretary Alex Azar is here.
You need to write a unique message; the Department of Health and Human Services has to read every unique message!
After that, you should letter write, text, e-mail, and bombard your senators to keep Kavanaugh from being appointed to the Supreme Court. More information about Kavanaugh can be found here.
Even if the senators don’t agree with abortion, Kavanaugh has supported employers not providing employees with access to no-copay birth control. As we know, accessible birth control is one way to reduce the rates of abortion!
After all that:
Vote. March. Win. 2018!
Make sure you’re registered to vote, or register, so we can flip important states in 2018 (and beyond!)
I would strongly urge people to sign up with the Planned Parenthood Defenders to get e-mails and notices of things they can do to help! The actions include calling members of Congress, writing letters, showing up for rallies, or organizing your community to help out.
Stop asking little girls if they have boyfriends Stop referring to the boys that little girls are friends with as their “little boyfriends” Stop telling little girls they’re going to have boyfriends or be “boy crazy” Stop raising children on heteronormativity and let them be children
Additionally: 1. It’s not funny 2. It’s not cute 3. You are embarrassing them 4. You are completely disregarding them when they tell you “no” and you insist
Stop doing the same to little boys too.
They are not “a little lady’s man.”
Don’t excuse him picking on a girl as him having a crush. Correct the behavior and stop treating it like it’s cute and normal.
Also stop insisting little boys have crushes on significantly older women. It’s gross.
Just let kids be kids.
Its not “men and women just cant be friends” its “you fourced romantic implications on children and made them uncomfortable/embarassed, socially conditioning them to not platonically interact with the opposite sex”
Stop it. let kids be kids. Let kids be friends
EXACTLY
On point.
This is what people just don’t get. “Pro-” doesn’t mean you want everyone to have it, or necessarily want to have it yourself. I don’t really want to have to have chemotherapy, but if I get cancer, you bet I want it to be an option available to me. “Pro-” literally just means you think it should exist as an option to everyone. That’s it, that’s all. Don’t be scared of calling yourself pro-abortion. -V

My post on the 100% hypocrisy of the so-called “Pro Life” movement
I recently had a medical abortion (just wasn't the right time) my bf and I are only people who know I was even pregnant. I've been going through emotions such as regret guilt and depression a lot recently and was wondering if you had any advice for coping or healing emotionally ?
I’m sorry to hear that you’re having such a difficult time right now. Being in a hard situation like an unplanned pregnancy, no matter what the outcome is, can be very emotionally draining, especially if it feels like you’re completely alone.
Definitely give some of these hotlines a call:
NAF After-care & follow up
Understanding abortion grief
Abortion care network
Other suggestions
Resources and suggested reading
Reach out to a friend, family member, co-worker, or guidance-counselor-type-adult. It might be scary, but 1 in 3 people able to become pregnant has had an abortion by the time they turn 45. You definitely know someone who has had an abortion, it may just take a bit of detective work to figure out who it is.
Find a therapist.
Sometimes it can make a big difference to re-connect with your body after you’ve experience something like this. A good way to try that is by using Grounding & Centering exercises:
Sit comfortably with eyes closed and focus your energy inward.
Start with your energy at the top of your head and let it move slowly down your body, taking a moment to recognize each part of you. Move all the way down your body, moving your consciousness, your energy, your being down at the same time.
Keep moving downward, below your floor, below your house, deep past the roots of the trees, below the bedrock, moving ever downward. As you near the center of the earth feel it grow warmer around you.
Move yourself into the hot lava of the core, swimming, floating, pushing yourself deeper until you’re in the dead center of this planet, completely surrounded by golden hot energy.
Float there for a moment, letting all your baggage get burned clean away from you. While keeping your awareness in the center, the dark, calm star, feel the cord, the roots, the rope ladder you came down that connects yourself to your body on the surface. Know that you’re protected and grounded and safe. You are held, lovingly, by the earth, and you can feel this at any time.
Allow yourself to hear a word, an image, a key of some sort to bring you back to this space whenever you need it. Hold it close to you.
Slowly move backwards through the pathway you left for yourself, climbing back up the ladder you let down. Give yourself the time and space you need to come back from that warm cocoon.
Later, when you’re having anxiety or sadness about your decision, bring to mind that key, hold it within yourself, and remember how loved you are by this earth, how precious you are, how safe it is to be cradled by the gravity of our planet. You are grounded.
Remember, it is healthy to feel grief intensely for the first 6 months after a trauma or loss. Feeling it intensely for longer than that is a sign of maladaptive mourning. You can get help.
Sending you so much love and light.
Watching this argument go down on the post I reblogged like
pro-life republicans: baby killing is bad!! save the BABIES!1!!11!!
people with common sense: okay….. so please don’t take away healthcare from 24 million people, including pregnant women and sick children….
pro-life republicans:
I’ve got a wisdom tooth coming in and oh man.. it’s hurting like hell.
A proposed Trump/Pence policy is attempting to take away your basic rights. We have until July 31 to submit comments against this gag rule that violates medical ethics. The gag rule would:
Impose new rules designed to make it impossible for millions of patients to get birth control or preventive care from Planned Parenthood.
Under this rule, doctors, nurses, hospitals, and community health centers across the country would no longer be able to refer their patients for safe, legal abortion.
Remove the guarantee that you’re getting full and accurate information about your health care from your doctor. For nearly two decades, Title X law has been clear: Health care providers cannot withhold information from you about your pregnancy options. This rule means they can.
Delete the requirement that contraception provided be medically approved, and no longer directs providers to ensure you have access to the full range of birth control.
We have a chance to stop this rule, but we need your help>>>>
