Overturning Roe v. Wade is going to kill women. I hope all of you who support this understand that.

It is going to kill women

The way I am so fucking angry. We knew this was going to happen but Jesus Christ, I was hoping something would resonate with these fucking justices but clearly I was just…naive…stupid. I don’t even know.

This isn’t going to get rid of abortions, y’all. It’s just going to get rid of safe abortions and the blood of those women will be on the hands of those who support this decision.

‘Race and racism is a reality that so many of us grow up learning to just deal with. But if we ever hope to move past it, it can’t just be on people of color to deal with it. It’s up to all of us – Black, white, everyone – no matter how well-meaning we think we might be, to do the honest, uncomfortable work of rooting it out. It starts with self-examination and listening to those whose lives are different from our own. It ends with justice, compassion, and empathy that manifests in our lives and on our streets.’ — Michelle Obama

“but do you really think Biden is better than–” YES YOU STUPID FUCKS, YES, I REALLY REALLY THINK THAT A MARGINALLY LEFT-WING  MOSTLY LAW-ABIDING ADMINISTRATION IS A BETTER OPTION THAN KEEPING THE CURRENT OPENLY CRIMINAL FASCIST ORGANIZATION IN POWER. YES I THINK AN INEPT BUT SLIGHTLY PROGRESSIVE EXECUTIVE BRANCH IS A BETTER OPTION THAN THE ADMINISTRATION THAT IS ACTIVELY DESTROYING LIVES, MURDERING ITS CITIZENS WITH COVID, KIDNAPPING PROTESTERS, COMMITTING ELECTION FRAUD ON A MASSIVE SCALE, LOCKING CHILDREN IN CAGES, AND LITERALLY BRINGING BACK NAZIS. YES I REALLY DO THINK THERE IS A DIFFERENCE SHUT UP SHUT UP STOP TELLING PEOPLE NOT TO VOTE YOU STUPID STUPID FUCKS JUST SAY YOU WANT 4 MORE YEARS OF TRUMP AND GO HOME, HOLY SHIT SHUUUUUUUUT UUUUPPP!!!!!

guys never realize that. 

Why play games though? Just come out and say no, don’t seem to hard.

cause the word “no” is not in ya’ll vocabulary.

You want us to start telling you no? You don’t want us to play games? Teach your fellow men to stop murdering us for it.

oh

I will always reblog this. Everyone should see it.

I would like to add:

Dr. Willie Parker, who is trained as a gynecologist and OBGYN, is a hero for the pro-choice movement because he’s honest about the undiscussed aspects of getting (or not getting) an abortion. Watch how he gives a consultation.

That last statement about regret is so important, because so many people don’t understand what it is or what causes it. Anti-choicers exploit this by manipulating pregnant people and creating doubt, which only increases the likelihood of regret, no matter what decision the pregnant person makes. You know what is best for you, even if it takes some time to figure it out.

Willie Parker is a HERO among common people! 

Dr. Parker is one of the few things I like about Alabama and we are so fortunate to have him here.

Wow god looks just like how I imagined

the fear men instill in women by virtue of existing in their vicinity is something men, especially white men, need to be aware of.

You could think you’re the nicest guy in the world but a woman sees you as a threat. Because you are! You are one. You starting a conversation on the train with a woman isn’t “being friendly”. It is trapping her in an interaction she cannot leave of her own consent out of fear of retaliation. You asking where she’s headed isn’t “small talk”. It is invasive and makes her fear for her safety by being followed. Your presence forces women to consider safety before comfort or agency. Be conscious of that when you interact with women in public space.

the thing about coming back from an abusive relationship is like this weird shame spiral you go through. Every time I realize how bad it was I just feel so shameful. During my relationship I was forbidden to talk to boys and I unfriended all of my closest guy friends. now I am friends with them again. But small things make me feel so ashamed. I deleted all of them on social media cause My ex was isolating me. But everytime i realize I’m not friends with someone on fb or not on instagram i just feel so ashamed. Like how did i get to that point where I just let someone control me like that. And then i feel ashamed to add them back on fb cause I feel like they will pity me. Or shame me for it. But even though i know my friends won’t it still holds me back. me and my dumb pride.

This emotionally abusive relationship has changed my perspective on a lot of things. I don’t feel safe anymore. I went on my first date since my breakup yesterday. My ex found out and sent me threatening messages. Called me a lying, cheating, whore. Called me a lousy person. Pathetic. Disgusting. All because I was talking to another dude after we had broken up. I’ve learned to not trust so easy. I’ve learned to never go into town alone. I don’t take the trash out at night. Emotional abuse is real. And it makes you feel dirty, unsafe, scared and uneasy.

What I want to ask of people right now. When you know someone is getting out of a bad relationship. Be there for that person. They are scared. They may not feel safe alone. Please just lend a hand. You don’t know what is going on in their private life. Be there for your friends.
