RE your latest post: Ah, but those anti-choicers who say that abortion is black genocide have another layer of jackassery to them on top of their misogyny: racism. Funny how these anti-choicers would have been better off if their fathers learned to pull out XD (I don't mean to make light of the situation; I'm just pointing out how they really shouldn't have been born in the first place, because obviously they aren't doing the world any good by being in it.)

Ew eugenics. Everyone who is born has the right to be alive. No one is born with political opinions.

Through my whole school life I've been bullied and called a murderer because I stand for choice. I went to redneck school filled with religious bigots. Some of them even said they wished my mother got an abortion. I always tell them that if my mother got an abortion that would be her choice, and I wouldn't be here to complain anyway. How do they believe they are pro life and pro women when they wish others dead?

So wait... an "anti-abortion" activist... said that they wished you had been aborted... The cognitive dissonance is strong with this one.

People suck. I can't believe some of the shit that comes out of anti-choicers mouths.

[propaganda-for-life]

Why would you say that it's racist to call abortion "black genicide"?

Because it's fucking not. Anyone can need an abortion regardless of race. Calling it "black genocide" is a diversionary tactic, meant to distract us from the fact that anti-choicers are, in fact, misogynistic as fuck.

[propaganda-for-life]

Why do anti choicers claim abortion is black genocide?

Because they're misogynists and racists.

The sad fact is that 41% of New York City babies are aborted.

The chilling fact is that 59.8% of black New York City babies are aborted.

Only FOUR out of TEN black children make it outside of the womb in New York City.

We must stop the industrialized killing of our unborn children. What legacy will you leave?

[ghost-plot]

The sad fact is that each night, more than 21,000 children are homeless in NYC.

The number of people sleeping in shelters has grown 60 percent in the past decade.

Families make up 3/4ths of the homeless population.

53% of the homeless in shelters are black, 32% are Latino.

65.5 percent of high school seniors graduate in NYC.

There are currently 12,568 children in foster care in NYC.

In 2011, there were over 90,000 separate reports of abuse/neglect in NYC. 

There are 131 children in secure detention. 112 in non-secure detention.

There are more than 108,000 children in NYC who have a parent that is incarcerated. More than 73 percent of women who are incarcerated have a child under the age of 18. 

But go ahead and try to explain how you care about children. Just try to justify how you can ignore all of these children, for a fetus. 

Forcing people to stay pregnant does nothing for children. Advocate for better sex education. Fight to help PoC who find themselves with unwanted pregnancies. Don’t ignore the fact that nearly 90 percent of pregnancies that end in abortion for PoC were unplanned, use this information to help them. 

My legacy is one of respect, understanding, education, and compassion. You’ll catch on eventually.

A simple text illustration describing pro-life vs pro-choice

Right. Riight. Except for the life of the pregnant person. Or the life of the children they might already have thinly spread resources to care for. Or the life of the fetus you save after it's born and its rights to be fed, clothed, housed, and schooled. Or the rights of that fetus should it later turn out to be queer or disabled.

Just in case you missed the memo, pregnant people also have heartbeats. We people who can get pregnant are people too. Fully developed people with rights. I mean, even corpses have more bodily autonomy than we do in this society. You need consent to legally harvest organs from a corpse. You don't, apparently, need to consent to having all your organs used for about ten months at a time.

Justify it as you wish, saying it’s “just a clump of cells", a “parasite".  However, it’s hard to deny that the embryo or fetus is indeed a human life, just less developed, less mature, and fighting to grow and live.  It is both an independent entity from the mother with a life & brain of its own … and yet at the same time it does need the mother to live.  It didn’t invade the mother like some parasite seeking a host, but it came to life inside the mother.  While it came to life inside the mother, should the mother really be able to own this human life - to kill & dispose of it as she wills?  Obviously, our society answers that with a “yes".

Oh my god, did you actually put this into my submission box?

It's not about whether it's "just a clump of cells" or not. I don't care if it's a fully developed adult in there--nothing has the right to use someone's body without their consent. If it's in my body, if it depends wholly on my body to survive, it's not independent from my body.

And just, wow. The nerve of you to put this filth into my submission box. Hang on, followers, there's actually more to come from this guy.

please read my theory on what an abortion is

Hi, can you please read my theory on what an abortion is. It is from a different view point than either pro life or pro choice - www.ethicsandabortion.com Thanks.

MOD ADDITION:

There are only three types of women when looking at the abortion issue. 1. Women who are not pregnant. 2. Women who are pregnant and have an abortion. 3. Women who are pregnant and do not have an abortion.

There are no other type of women than these three.

... I hate you.

Woman: My body, my choice! If I don't want to be responsible for a baby I don't have to!Man: My sperm, my choice, right? If I don't want to be responsible for a baby I don't have to.Woman: NO!!

Hahaha. More like,

Woman: Not in your body, not your choice. I want an abortion.

Man: Waaaa but manpain!

Woman: Not in your body, not your choice. I want to have this child you fathered.

Man: Waaa but mememe!

I'm disappointed because I thought this was a pro-life blog. Are not all members of the human species considered "human persons"? What is a living human being that is not also a human person considered to be? Are blacks non-persons? Are Jews non-persons?

What? How could you possibly think we'd use the word "propaganda" in a positive context? This blog hasn't been active for a while, but the entire purpose of it is to call out PROPAGANDA--that is, falsehoods and fallacies--from the anti-choice side of the fence. Hardly anyone in history has actually assumed positivity from the word "propaganda." I mean, what were you really expecting?

Second off, no. Nothing is comparable to abortion. Racism is not. Anti-semitism is not. And when we're talking about genocide, it generally involves sentient beings who are physiologically autonomous and fetuses belonging to parents who wanted to birth the child. Now, I'm Jewish here, so you really need to shut the fuck up about anti-semitism. To quote Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, "Those who compare abortion to the Holocaust do not know what the Holocaust was."

Thirdly, it doesn't matter whether the fetus is a person or not. It's a largely philosophical argument that has no relevance here. You know who's definitely a person? THE ONE WHO'S PREGNANT, WHOM YOU NEVER SEEM TO CONSIDER. No one and nothing has the right to use a person's body without their consent--not a man, not a woman, not an unborn fetus or embryo. And don't you dare start lecturing me about consent; I'm a sexual assault survivor, so I know that well enough already, thank you very much.

Wait, adoption being a loving option is a pro-life theme? I thought it was advocating adopting children over giving birth. God, I am so disappointed in the message now.

Mhmm. I would get an abortion now if I had to because I love myself and my future children enough to wait until I can care for them well. God, I hate anti-choicers so much.

Hey guys, love the blog, was wondering if you have seen the documentary 12th & Delaware? It is a really great film about a Pregnancy Care (anti-choice) clinic across from a Women's health (where abortions take place) clinic and the tension between them.

I have, actually! It is good. I highly recommend it, too.

I gotta ask, mostly because I'm a bit confused and would like to see if my line of thinking is...wrong? Do you think men have NO right to be upset at all if a woman aborts the pregnancy he helped make? Now, I do firmly believe it is a woman's right and if she wishes to abort the man does have no say because she is the one carrying it. But, I've always been under the impression that it's a bit ignorant to insist it shouldn't effect men at all. (cont)

For example, a good friend of mine shared his experience with an ex-girlfriend of his who aborted her pregnancy. He told me at the time it did upset him deeply, and he would have loved to be a father, and that every now and again (even though it’s been a few years) it does still upset him a but he did understand it was still her choice. That he wasn’t the one carrying it so he did have no say. But I mean, it did make me re-evaluate my views on the whole “it shouldn’t effect men period."

Of course not, men are entitled to feel however they happen to feel. I mean, it’s psych 101 that you have no control over your emotions. They just have to be able to reconcile their feelings with what is ultimately not their decision to make. Het couples should discuss these things before having sex, to be honest, so that both parties know what might happen and what they might have to be prepared to deal with, especially if the guy thinks it’ll affect them so deeply.

do men hate women for aborting a child that might be theres

Only if they're self-righteous, misogynistic shitheads with no respect for women.
