York University has published an article in their student newspaper discussing ‘privilege’ and whether a man should tell a woman whether she can have an abortion or not.
I’m sure our followers could add a few insights to the comment section. This man needs educating.
He also called the female sex a “bunch of women”.

Which bill? There are a lot of anti-choice bills out there right now all over the country.
This article debates how what happened in Ireland may become commonplace in the US with Ohio in talks to revive the HB 125 bill.
It just feels like we are not making progress anymore :’(

An estimated 10,000 activists flooded the streets of Dublin on Saturday to protest Ireland’s stringent abortion policies. The predominantly Catholic country has a total ban on all abortion services, with a narrow exception in cases where a pregnancy may threaten a woman’s life. But the recent death of Savita Halappanavar — the 31-year-old Indian woman who died of blood poisoning after an Irish hospital refused to terminate her pregnancy — highlights the fact that women in Ireland struggle to access reproductive health services even when their lives may be at stake. Halappanavar’s tragic story is quickly becoming an international controversy, prompting the Irish government to promise to reexamine its abortion policy.
Thousands of protesters took to the streets today with signs and banners bearing Halappanavar’s image, vowing that the tragic events of her death will “never again” happen in their country (all images via Broadsheet)
This is incredible.
Take a little browse of some of his policies, which he would have implemented had he been elected.
Hello followers, Kirsty here.
I wanted to very quickly talk to you about Northern Ireland.
Northern Ireland has just opened its first ever private abortion clinic, and has faced prolonged protests because of this.
The clinic is a Marie Stopes clinic, the same company whose Brixton clinic I used for my own abortion. They’re basically the PP of the UK and parts of Europe. The people there were very non-judgemental, and the atmosphere was extremely relaxing and reassuring. Marie Stopes have many abortion clinics across mainland UK and previously anyone in N. Ireland who needed an abortion for reasons other than health risks would have to travel to the mainland.
Unfortunately now the Northern Irish clinic has had to hire security guards due to the continued disruption caused by anti-coice protestors. What is supposed to be a huge step in the development of reproductive rights for Ireland has been marred by this behaviour.
Not only is this clinic a provider of abortions, it is also a safe place for women to discuss their options and family planning.
PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO SIGN THIS PETITION AND SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE BELFAST CLINIC
Fuck you, Romney.
It is ultimately your choice, and you should be able to handle this however you like or need. I’d say you should visit as many doctors as possible until you get what you need. There are resources out there to help you with your pregnancy. Planned Parenthood will have them, as well as similar organizations like Tapestry Health.
“Partial birth abortion” (again, a misnomer) is pretty much the only type of abortion available after 21 weeks, and at that point the pregnancy is almost definitely wanted.
“Undiagnosed pregnancy is a medical reason, as far as I’m concerned. Being pregnant is itself a medical condition, and not knowing about it that far in can be dangerous.” Perhaps technically, but what you are getting into now could be inadvertently deceitful propaganda. You know well that many will interpret “medical reasons” as something other than “undiagnosed pregnancy”; instead, they will think of the category “fetal/maternal health problems.” Best to be safe wrt honestly educating folks.
Still a health problem, to be sure. Eh, I’ll fix it sometime when I have less on my plate. In case you haven’t noticed, this blog hasn’t been updated much lately except for messages.
There aren’t many statistics for abortions past 21 weeks, but at that point they’re not even legal except for medical reasons, as per the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003.
