It’s documented that birth control and comprehensive sex ed can reduce the abortion rate. Nevertheless, right-wingers who insist abortion is the modern Holocaust oppose that alternative. Some say it’s not a matter of misogyny (yes, it is), it’s that they shouldn’t have to spend money on things they disapprove of. Somehow that doesn’t apply to those of us who object to the government spending $500 million on anti-abortion centers.
“The vast majority of the memes circulating this week are in praise of Walz’s masculinity. Stereotypical masculinity, even. The kind conservatives perpetually worry that Democrats are trying to erase”
It’s not just nonconforming men who feel pressure to live up to a male image — conventionally male guys can too.
“in an ideal world, every pregnancy would occur between two people in a healthy relationship who wanted it. But that is not the world we live in. In this world, a great many women are impregnated by men who are controlling or abusive. In this world, abuse routinely scales up when a woman becomes pregnant, and pregnant women who are not able to end their pregnancies wind up much more likely than women who have abortions to remain tethered to abusive men. In this world, murder is a leading cause of death for pregnant women. The anti-abortion movement wants to hand more power to abusive men anyway.”
For a good lawsuit: “A Missouri woman is suing a Kansas hospital where she says she was denied an emergency abortion after she went into premature labor at 18 weeks of pregnancy.”
A neo-Nazi who firebombed a California abortion clinic got a nine-year sentence.
Suing facilities that lie you can reverse a medication abortion seems like a good idea too.
The Texas abortion ban has led to lots of babies born with zero chance of survival. Other women end up taking abortion medication alone and worried.
Johnny Hunt, the Southern Baptist leader accused of sexual assault (he admits to “awkward fondling”) says no, the woman stalked him! I find that totally convincing.
Misogynist jackass Andrew Torba: “women need to be put in their place by masculine men and then all of this madness will come to a swift end” I presume by madness Torba means the possibility of a world where his penis doesn’t make him special.
“Tradwives portray a fundamentally conservative and individual solution to that societal failure: retreat not only into the home, but also into history. Using theiconography of an idealized past, they evoke the economic and emotional fantasy that families, and especially women, can opt out of the complexity of modern society.”
“Have you thought about the implications of a theology that argues men are to provide and women are to take care of the home and the connection to women being paid less in the workplace?”
Republicans claim harassing abortion patients is free speech.
Trump forced a woman to have sex with him (even if it’s technically not rape by NY legal standards). His supporters dono’t care: “There is no bottom to Trump’s barrel, and there is no act too tawdry, criminal or downright disgusting to dissuade Dear Leader’s cultists from worshiping him.”
