  I am Pro-Life and I Vote... Pro-Choice

  persephonemag:

  From the article:

  Clear education about and access to contraception reduces the number of unwanted pregnancies, which reduces the number of abortions.Making abortion illegal does not change the number of abortions, just makes them more dangerous, so the potential for more death arises. Providing education and access to contraception through companies such as Planned Parenthood decreases the number of abortions.

  Anybody that wants to decrease the number of deaths is mandated to support programs such as Planned Parenthood. That is the only way to reduce abortions. Rallying for prohibition of abortions increases death. Taking money away from organizations such as Planned Parenthood that provide contraception and education increases death. Preaching abstinence-only increases death.

  If a person describes themselves as pro-life in good faith, they have no choice but to vote in favor of legal, safe abortions, comprehensive sex education, and easy access to contraception. Otherwise, they cannot consider themselves to be pro-life.

  Corrupt Politics: Idaho Rejects Rape Exception In Abortion Bill Because ‘The Hand Of The Almighty’ Was At Work

  Marching in step with the GOP’s nationwide war on a woman’s right to choose, the Idaho legislature gave final approval to a bill that would outlaw abortions after 20 weeks. Modeled after Nebraska’s first-in-the-nation measure, the bill — like the one passed in Kansas…

  “State Rep. Brent Crane, the bill’s sponsor, took it a step further. Believing that “tragic, horrific” acts of rape or incest are the “hand of the Almighty,” Crane said women should trust God to turn the consequences of their sexual assault into “wonderful examples”.”

  —-

  Hear that, uterus owners? Sure, you could have a right to bodily autonomy and not enduring the pain, suffering, expense, and invasion of privacy that a pregnancy entails, but this man thinks you could be a WONDERFUL EXAMPLE instead! Why trust women when we can trust his God, amirite?

  Rape is the touch of “the Almighty.”

  I could just fucking cry.

  WHAT.

  Is this real life?

  Counter-Protest of the Day: Aaron Gouveia, whose wife was forced to abort after her fetus was diagnosed with a terminal congenital deformity, was harassed and accosted by anti-choice protesters outside a Brookline, MA abortion clinic.

  In the spirit of standing up to bullies, Gouveia approached the sloganeers to see if they would be interested in hearing his side of the story.

  Women under that tragic situation don’t deserve that negativity. Props to the dad.
