Two recent books, “The Quickening” and “The Parenthood Dilemma,” consider the ethics of procreation in the age of man-made climate change.

It is still legal to travel to states where abortion is legal. The FDA allows abortion pills to be available by mail, and they are approved for the first 10 weeks of pregnancy. Telemedicine abortions will banned in states where abortion is illegal, but international groups like Aid Access will offer online consultations and mail pills to all states.

Your internet activity can be used against you in court. Delete any period tracking apps and do not disclose your pregnancy online. Learn about internet privacy to keep your abortion private and secure.

Now is the time to donate to your local abortion fund. If you live in a state where abortion is likely to stay legal, clinics expect an influx of people from other states looking for healthcare.

hi so i don’t know what crowd this is going to hit, but I’ve been scrolling on the ‘eugenics’ tag for a while and most people agree the aborting a fetus because it may have a disability is a eugenicist ideal, which i agree with.

however there was a poll on here (maybe not specifically this tag but on tumblr as a whole) that posed the question ‘is it okay for someone to abort a fetus based on the sex of the child?’ and i scrolled through the notes of that and lots of people were saying ‘you’re not actually prochoice if you voted no!!!!!1!1!!1’ because you are then infringing on the pregnant persons choice to make about their own body.

are the two examples not close to the same thing? aborting a child based on genetics characteristics beyond their control. don’t twist my words and make it seem like I’m saying that disabled people and people with basically any chromosome alignment other than XY face the same amount of prejudice and struggle throughout their life, because I’m not. it depends on the person.

what i am is failing to see how one is a eugenicist ideal while the other is completely okay, and i would highly appreciate if someone could explain this to me. please be as rude as you want, i need to educate myself better.

my current opinion (that does have the possibility to change) is that it should always be the pregnant persons ability to choose whether or not they abort the child, even if i morally disagree with their reasons behind getting the abortion.

My husband [ 26m] took out my IUD last night,

TW: ABUSIVE MARRIAGE , REPRODUCTIVE COERCION , PHYSICAL AND SEXUAL ASSAULT

So this will sound crazy , and I guess it kind of is .

I am 23F and have been married to my husband for 2 years .we have a 1.5 year old daughter . I love him so much and he is a great father . He I told him I wasn't sure when I'd feel ready flr another kid since I just got off maternity leave a year ago and am working full time .

In the past few months after our daughter turned 1 , he's been really vocal about his wish for another kid . we usually use the pull out method , but it got to the point where I didn't even trust him to pull out ( this was how our daughter was conceived actually ) . so last month I secretly booked an appointment with my doctor and he gave me an IUD despite my aversion to getting hormones .

My husband does not know about my IUD . He has not been pulling out very often which makes me glad I got the IUD . however , yesterday , he found out because he caught me reading about it on the Internet . He got angry at me for hiding it from him and when we were about to have sex that night , reached in there and tried to get it out , which hurt like hell . I was panicking and hitting him and yelling for him to stop , but he ignored me and managed to pull it out . he then threw it in the trash and told me that "those things" are not good for my body anyways .

I'm so shaken . I'm normally a very calm and tough person but he really scared me. He apologized to me this morning and said he was just angry for not telling him about the IUD and getting it done behind his back .

What should I do ? I feel violated . My husband has always been rather pushy and mad when he doesn't get his way , but he's never gone this far.

Why so many clinics that provide abortion are closing, even where it's still legal

New financial pressures on clinics that provide abortion are forcing some to close their doors, even in states that protect the right to abo
