Signal boosting! (And of course, this debate affects more than just cis women.)

[Images: two photos in a photoset. The first is of a male-presenting atheist at a pro-life rally holding his own sign, “If you abort the babies, then what will we have to EAT??? Signed, the Atheists.” The second photo is of a female-presenting person standing in front of a sign comparing abortion to child abuse with graphic photographs of both. The woman holds a sign written in blue, “[CITATION NEEDED]”. End description.]

These two are doing a fantastic thing with these signs. The guy is a good friend of mine. He figured that doing this was better and entertaining than studying.

Chalking outside Planned Parenthood. July 2011.

Chalk is a great tool for getting your point across. It’s legal, it washes off, and catches peoples attention. If we could do this to abortion clinics more often, maybe more women would change their minds about terminating their pregnancy and CHOOSING to keep the child instead. Most won’t look and will still go in. But if we can change women’s minds, its worth the time :)

Th handprints were made by a little boy named Gavin, who is the youngest of a family of 11 children. Now if that isn’t pro-life, then I don’t know what is. Haha. 

You just confessed to brainwashing an eleven year old child, as well as misrepresenting what Planned Parenthood actually does.

I have no further use for you. I know what you’re doing is legal, but as the saying goes, when justice and the law are the same, it’s called a great coincidence.

Hell yes.

[Image: a photo of women protesters of various ages and backgrounds. They are holding up a large sign written with red spray paint on black cloth, reading, “ABORTION PROVIDERS SAVE WOMENS [sic] LIVES”. In the background, other signs are visible: “MY BODY, MY CHOICE” is one, and “CHOOSE JUSTICE” is the other.]

March for Life

Washington D.C.

January 22, 2009

Then guess what? They’re in the minority. 80% of people who get abortions do not regret their choice. That is science, which you, Mr. Holzbach, claim to be so in support of. That study is eleven years old, so I would have figured that something would have sunk in with you lot by now.

I also know where you want to go with this. You want to try to tell me that this means Post-Abortion Syndrome is real. Science says it’s not. Very rarely, long-term mental issues result from having an abortion, but usually the abortee in question here had some pre-existing condition that made that happen. That does not make it a separate disorder, as these very few people could show any number of symptoms for any number of other disorders. Further, regret does not a disorder make. I regret never getting to know my grandparents better before they died. Does that mean I have PTSD from it? Of course not.

Whose, might I ask? Not the biological mother’s, anyway, or at least not 80% of the time. Facts are wonderful, don’t you think?

There are more choices than abortion. Don’t be fooled into thinking all you have is abortion - that’s what the abortion industry wants you to think. Be AWARE, be EDUCATED. Your unborn child’s life is depending on it.

Funny how an anti-choicer is telling me to know the facts, when they get science wrong a lot more often than we do. I addressed that a few days ago.

I’m also pretty certain you’re all confused about what poverty actually means, including Mother Theresa up there. Abortion helps people who are actually in a state of poverty all the time.

what even

Sign one: “Justin Bieber says abortion is… “like killing a baby.”

What caught my eye more was the second one: “They have no voice, they have no choice.”

And this is a woman holding this sign.

FUCK YOU AND YOUR MISOGYNY, BITCH.

Translation: “This body is mine. Don’t touch it. Don’t violate it. DON’T KILL IT!”
