Maryland Doctors Charged With Murder For Late-Term... →
Two abortion doctors have been charged with murder for performing illegal late-term abortions. The case highlights the need for safe, legal, accessible abortion — but many will probably take the opposite message from it.

Actually, when it’s that late into the pregnancy, I guarantee you it was done because of a medical emergency of some kind. No one past 21 weeks (when only...

booksnbrains submitted: Abolitionist
I like your blog, but I can’t agree with you on using the term “abolitionist” as being inherently racist. The term may be most associated with the anti-slavery abolitionist movement, but the word exists outside that context. There has been abolitionist movements against monarchies and unjust practices before the American slavery one. I agree people who use the word now...

here is a picture of an aborted fetus, gross right?! i do not know how any one could do this to their own child.

So you don’t consider forcing churches to pay for abortions a violation of their rights? Yeh. Good job Obama. You FAIL. Only 390 days left…
Haha, no. Having decent healthcare for half your population ain’t a violation of freedom of religion in any sense.
And complaining about comprehensive sex ed, too? For fuck’s sake, no. We’re talking about facts...

Anonymous asked: To the other anon who had a pregnancy scare, I had one as well. And I know exactly what you were thinking of. When my period did not come on the day it was supposed to, I instantly thought of ways to get it out of my body. I contemplated using drugs, beating myself in the stomach, and convincing my boyfriend to beat me, all because of the chance of me not being able to terminate a pregnancy. I was...

Anonymous asked: Last week I just had my first pregnancy scare. In the end, I got my period, but I remember thinking immediately about abortion.
