IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR AGES
Warren Hern has been performing late abortions for half a century. After Roe, he is as busy with patients as ever.
This was an interesting read. Surprisingly nonpreachy given the subject; and well worth the time.
This is oaywalled but it made me weep with relief to see an honest recounting for once, so I’ve saved some good bits:
He's also not wrong about that last part. Or any of the other parts, but especially that last part.
There are of course potential genuine fanatics, the people so batshit they don't care - but they were already a risk and they were already looking to find people like him, so the risk with them remains stable.
What's important is that we know about him.
C'mon, folks, link the damn articles
Raw Story 12/3/24:
Some Republican-led states that passed near-total abortion bans have mysteriously stopped collecting statistics on maternal mortality over t
Salon 12/2/24:
Women will keep dying, but the GOP is working hard to destroy the evidence
This is a bad idea but:
Do you think someone should be allowed to get an abortion on the basis of the fetus's sex? (a mother aborting all daughters because she wants a son, for example)
Yes, also I'm pro-choice
No, also I'm pro-choice
Yes, also I'm pro-life
No, also I'm pro-life
Fetuses do not have hair
the entire point of having bodily autonomy is that no one but yourself can decide what is or is not a good reason to have an abortion.
In this case, the opposite question needs to be asked as well to get the actual thinking and consequences behind the original question behind this clear:
Do you think someone should be **Forced to carry a pregnancy against their will** on the basis of the fetus's sex? (a mother only wanting sons, now being forced to carry to term daughters)
No, everyone has the right to an abortion, for any reason they have.
Yes, I think people need to have Good Reasons™️ to get an abortion.
Yes, because I am staunchly pro-life. No abortion under any circumstance.
No Opinion / See Results
I answered Yes, to the first, and No to the second, as someone who is Pro-Choice.
But also: As someone who is congenitally disabled, I feel another dimension to this:
Women who are pressured / coerced / misinformed into having an abortion (by their doctors, family members, Society-at-Large), because a prenatal test has shown that the baby will be born with a Disability (often Down Syndrome, and related chromosomal intellectual disabilities).
This is reason for abortion is normalized in our society, and doesn't raise the same shock value as the idea of aborting a fetus based on sex chromosomal differences.
But Pro-Choice cuts both ways.
I've seen the argument made (rhetorically) to disabled pro-choicers: Well, if your mother had known you were going to be disabled, she might have aborted you. So how can you be pro-choice?
Speaking for myself: If my mother had known ahead of time that I was going to be disabled, and if she had felt that she couldn't, or simply didn't want, to raise me, I would rather have been aborted than be either: born into a family who didn't want me, or thrown into the institutional system of adoption where my life would be undervalued because of my disability.
As it was, my mother was advised, by a doctor, to institutionalize me when I was two years old, and my disability was first diagnosed. Instead, she fought to keep me.
It was over two decades after her death that I learned that my mother had a good dozen of family members living very nearby/in my childhood neighborhood -- and I never heard her even whisper of their existence. And I can't help but wonder if she cut off all contact with them because they agreed with the doctor that I should have been given up.
If my mother had given birth to me because she'd been coerced, I wouldn't have the warm and confident feeling that I was her chosen daughter.
If there’s one thing I learned since I signed up on 2/28/16, 5:11:37 PM, it’s that #i didnt think you would do it takes up too much of my time.
oh so they’re just saying the quiet part out loud? Good to know they’re just out and open now
That’s not the quiet part.
There’s something else, something they might not even be fully aware of themselves. The real quiet part is that if it was *their* child or *their* ectopic pregnancy they’d pull out all the stops to save their life or get their grandchild aborted. Planned Parenthood sees reactionaries and regressives all the time, and they are every bit the nightmare patients you’d imagine them to be. But the one thing all those patients have in common is that *their* abortion is *justified*, and the next week they’ll be outside the clinic again, rejoining the protestors for “killing their baby”.
It’d be one thing to have ghoulish principles, but the far-right have none at all.
When the Anti-Choice Choose By Joyce Arthur Copyright © September, 2000 Available in a French translation Available in a German translation
When I was younger and had more time to waste on the internet, and spent a lot of time in various online forums getting into arguments -- on purpose -- I made up a game I called Six Degrees of Slut.
The game (which is a variation on the well known Six Degrees of Bacon) was very simple. In any discussion of abortion, see whether you could get the other side to articulate, within six back-and-forth exchanges, some variation of The Filthy Sluts Must Be Punished. Regardless of where their argument started, the goal of the game was to get them to admit that.
I never once lost a game of Six Degrees of Slut. On a few occasions the match was inconclusive - the other person left off arguing before we reached round six - but I never lost; I never once reached six rounds of debate with a prolifer without them expressing some variation on this sentiment. But what was really remarkable to me was, a lot of times, that there was no effort involved at all -- they would blurt it out themselves, with effectively no provocation.
Scratch a prolifer, and you'll find right under the surface the conviction that The Filthy Sluts Must Be Punished. I have never once yet found an exception. Sometimes you don't even have to scratch.
That's what we really need to understand about reactionaries. The degrees to which they dehumanize others cannot be overstated. It's never hypocrisy for them if they get an abortion because, see, they had valid reasons. Nobody else ever would. They are just special, they are just better than you.
Happy May Day! 🏴🏴🏴
For a short history of this day of celebration and resistance across a century and a half:
https://crimethinc.com/MayDayHistory
To give a sense of what the day means to us, read this excerpt of a text published today in Russian by the anarchist project http://akrateia.info.
We've translated it because it is a beautiful and inspiring expression of how the struggle for liberation and mutual aid has persisted across centuries against all odds.
"Mayday is an international distress signal in radio communications, similar to the SOS signal in telegraph communications. This is an approximation of the French phrase 'm'aidez,' a shortened version of the phrase 'venez m'aider'(meaning 'come to my aid,' 'help me'). On this day, we offer to come to each other’s aid (what Peter Kropotkin called 'mutual aid').
"We appeal to you: wherever you are—under fire, in a hospital, in prison, in a foreign country, trying to find a way to earn money, in your native country where you risk becoming a victim of torture by the authorities—we want to remind you that you are not alone. We want to be with you in spirit, no matter how difficult it may be right now.
"Anarchism never died. Throughout the bloody history of the 20th century. it survived and developed. If you are reading these lines, that means you are also involved in our great cause. How many times have anarchist periodicals addressed their readers on May 1? How many times have anarchists feared that anarchism might die and totalitarian countries and fascists would win?
"We will continue, as our predecessors did. We will not give up because we are coming to help each other."
