Not Your Body, Not Your Choice @prolife4life - Tumblr Blog

I’d be sad, but I wouldn’t be a murderer.

That anon basically described what happened to my parents.

My big sister was born with just enough brain matter for her body to function on the most basic levels. She was born deaf, blind, and screamed 18 hours a day almost every single day for the first 1 & ½ - 2 years of her life.

The doctors kept telling my parents my sister would die; in a day, a week, a month, a year.

She lived to be almost 17 years old. By ten years old she had 20/20 vision, she could hear perfectly by the time she was 4, she stopped screaming suddenly one day when my dad cried so hard his tears pelted her face. It was the first time she smiled; when she felt his tears for his first born daughter.

My sister never walked, but we loved her with every fiber of our being. If my sister never existed, I wouldn’t be who I am today. My sister made hundreds of people fall in love with her, and God knows how many lives she turned around because she was so loving to every person she met.

There were so many people at her funeral it was standing room only. Our funeral procession stretched as far as I could see.

My parents dealt very well with the loss of their daughter after several years. To this day, through myself and my dad’s book, my sister is still touching lives with her boundless love; and we always think of her with a smile on our face because we miss her so much.

So anon, what the hell is your damn point?

As someone born mentally and developmentally disabled who used to wish he had never been born, this is especially touching. The inside of my head used to be a living hell, but now things are improving, and I have a newborn daughter who looks like she doesn’t have my disorders.

Every time someone brings up mental or physical disability as a reason to murder someone in the womb I want to scream in their faces, because they are saying I should be dead, my daughter should never have existed, and my wife should still be in the cesspit she had for a family that I was somehow used to help her out of. I don’t scream at them, because they deserve more respect than they offer to the people they dehumanize.

Just…. so many things wrong with this post. I don’t even know where to start. But as a sampler:

the number of these “coat hanger abortions” is blown out of proportion with regularity by abortion advocates- Dr. Bernard Nathanson, a former abortionist, admitted to making up statistics of deaths by back-alley abortions.

In fact the number of deaths by illegal abortions (as reported by the Centers for Disease Control) in 1972, the year before abortion was legalized, was only 39.

Former Planned Parenthood president Mary Calderone stated in 1960, “The conference estimated that 90 percent of all illegal abortions are presently being done by physicians.”(emphasis mine) (sources cited here)

Unborn babies are not “like the [cells] that come off your feet and body.” Those dead skin cells will never be anything other than dead skin cells. Unborn babies are living, growing human beings. Your dead skin cells still carry your DNA. Unborn babies have a completely different DNA, their own organs (otherwise the mother would, for a time, have two brains, four lungs, two hearts, etc.).

“…or save a woman who might end up curing a life-threatening disease?” Yeah, like the female who is growing inside her mother’s womb?

Stop the spread of lies about abortion. Stop painting it as some great achievement for women. Stop pretending that cutting off the uniquely feminine ability to carry and nourish a brand-new life is pro-woman.

reblogging especially for that last bullet point.

feedingonfeminism

Anti-choice men commenting on the recent shootings in/around a Planned Parenthood in Colorado Springs.

This isn’t just a mass shooting. This is terrorism, and these are the people who cheer while actual human beings are terrorized.

Please keep these victims in your thoughts.

antichoice-compassion

Hey @chillfem you want to whine about “pro choice violence” so much, please take some of your own medicine and own up to the shit that gets spewed from your side on actual people who actually got hurt.

I have personally yet to see an anti-choicer even address this event, though I’m sure I’m just not looking hard enough. I’m so relieved to hear that no one was killed in today’s attack, but I can’t wait to hear about how this actually doesn’t reflect all antis as a whole but every pro-choicer’s words reflect all of us. -V

I seem to recall you all trying to claim that someone wishing they could drop you off on an island was ‘violence’ so care to comment on yet another pro lifer actually shooting and attempting to kill actual people? And then your movements supports actually hailing someone who attempted actual murder as a ‘hero’ despite them also shooting what was it, three police officers?

So would you all like to remind us again about how facebook posts that say ‘sometimes I wish I could drop pro lifers on an island or in the desert somewhere so I don’t have to deal with them any more’ is violent? Or is it only violence if it’s a pro choicer venting? Or maybe it’s only pro life, terminally ill and suffering, and foetal lives that matter?

I am also relieved no one was killed in this shooting, but in others people have been, and honestly this sort of response is a clear indicator that these people are not pro life. Maybe I’ll start a blog about examples of pro life hypocrisy.
