Abortion Funds by State

lavenderlabia:

This might be useful for any American followers who need financial assistance or help paying for an abortion.

HEY, PRO-LIFERS. NOTHING TO SAY? AT ALL?

stfuconservatives:

god-is-prochoice:

Say something, you cowardly fucks. Say something about Savita Halappanavar, the woman who had a wanted pregnancy… wanted pregnancy… WANTED PREGNANCY… and needed a LIFE-SAVING ABORTION, and because she was denied that abortion, she DIED.

Where is your pro-life mentality, now? Huh? Got nothing to say? You’re not so pro-life anymore? Now there’s two deaths instead of what could have been one, the death of a non-sentient fetus that was doomed to die anyway through miscarriage… and the blood is on YOUR hands. You may not have been there in person, you may not have been the one to tell her “no”, but your bullshit support for your bullshit cause adds fuel to the bullshit fire.

And FYI, she’s not the first, and if your fetus “love-affair” continues, she won’t be the last.

I hope you’re happy.

And by happy, I mean fucking miserable.

Yup, waiting to hear the pro-lifers weigh in on how a fetal heartbeat law killed this woman.

jadelyn: jhameia: searchingforknowledge: panasonicyouth: shiyiya: yourcroft: greenchestnuts: daintyblackpegasus: “a candidate for sheriff in New Hampshire said Wednesday that he would be willing to use deadly force to prevent a woman from terminating her pregnancy” i’m hanging somewhere between absolute rage and sobbing uncontrollably. This is not pro-life. d-do they not … how can … this … no Bu… how… wh. i thought this was a joke nope. so so does like okay so so does this person think babies grown in a sac outside the mother or…?  what does i mean i can’t … … … … ……………….. Wait. Then what if he uses deadly force on a woman planning to terminate, and then he kills her, like, wouldn’t he kill the fetus too? What the heck would the deadly force be for then?  Oh wait I am logicking. Never mind. It’s because, whether he admits it or not, what he’s using deadly force for isn’t to prevent a damn thing.  It’s to punish.  Because he feels it’s his place to step up and punish people (all women, in his eyes, which is a large portion of the motivation here) who are daring not to use their bodies the way he believes they should be used.   Just like the rest of the “pro-life” movement, it’s not about preventing abortion, it’s about punishing people with pregnancy.

Abortion - Myths and Reality

pleasesexplain:

Abortion has become an increasingly controversial topic. The anti choice movement has created a plethora of misinformation and flat-out lies. If you google information about abortion, a lot of scary, untrue “information” can come up, and this can be dangerous. I’m here to debunk some common myths about abortion.

MYTH: If you have an abortion, you won’t be able to have any kids in the future.

REALITY: Abortion is an extremely safe procedure. It’s 10 times safer than giving birth if performed before the 18th week of pregnancy, and about twice as safe as having your tonsils removed. A safe, uncomplicated abortion procedure should not affect future fertility. An abortion does not make miscarriage more likely, increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy, cause birth defects, cause premature birth, or increase the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

MYTH: Abortion causes breast cancer.

REALITY: A link between abortion and breast cancer has never been found. This myth has been promoted by people and groups that are against abortion; they use this idea to frighten people away from obtaining an abortion.

MYTH: If I have an abortion, I will become depressed and get “post-abortion stress syndrome.”

REALITY: The American Psychological Association and the American Psychiatric Association do not recognize the existence of “post-abortion stress syndrome.” They have found the anti-choice studies and research flawed. Most scientific studies found that the long-term reactions to having an abortion are positive. Those at high-risk for depression and other psychological issues after abortion are people who already had emotional and psychological issues before the procedure.

MYTH: Plan B/emergency contraception causes abortion.

REALITY: Emergency contraception, also called Plan B and the morning after pill, is not the abortion pill. Emergency contraception stops a pregnancy from happening, while the abortion pill (RU-486 or mifepristone) terminates an already existing pregnancy.

MYTH: Only irresponsible people want abortions.

REALITY: According to the Guttmacher Institute, one in three people will have an abortion before age 45. Roughly two-thirds of those people will already have children and families. Mistakes happen. In a perfect world, birth control would be 100% effective, easy to use, and free or low cost. Everyone would have fact-based comprehensive sex education and access to sexual health services. There would be no rape or incest. Birth complications and birth defects would no longer exist. But, unfortunately, the world is not like that. Until that happens, abortion needs to be kept safe, legal, and accessible.
