Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
  7. This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
  8. All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

It's a sad reality that most pro-life stance people don't understand that most pro-choice people are also pro-life. It certainly doesn't help that some extremists rant loudly about 9th month abortions. But a lot of people who don't like the idea of abortion still understand the need for it, both medical and otherwise, and believe the decision should rest with the parent and doctor, not the government. If there was more open an honest communication then there probably wouldn't be as many single-issue voters voting Republican because of this issue.

There are few situations where I would choose abortion, however if my wife or daughter needed an abortion for whatever reason, I'd want it to be legally available from a qualified healthcare provider with minimal wait time. This business of having to leave the state/country to get an abortion is fucking ridiculous.

If she waited it out, she and the fetus could suffer tremendously. “The thing [a doctor] said was, ‘There are things worse than death, and I have seen it,’” Farmer recounted.

Damn. Feels like it could be a good quote to oppose anti-abortion.

The poor dear has learned the consequences of voting against her interests far too late. I laughed, but at the same time I'm worried about those who voted in their interests and got fucked over.

This is just like COVID. "Do the bare minimum by staying home and social distancing to save those who cannot fight this fight." And they all said, "fuck that, I have a TV in 4K but watching church services on it just doesn't fill me with the holy spirit! Imma risk it!" And then proceed to make the pandemic worse than it had to be while adding another god damned fucking wedge issue into the mix of other wedge issues drummed up by the GOP and ultra wealthy.

A medical form field we need is "what did you learn?"

She probably still believes all the bullshit too. "too many women are just getting post birth abortions for the funsies" Just the fakest stupidest lies.
