Sorry about all the shouting
Wednesday 14 September 2022
I keep coming back to this post on Daily Kos. Mostly because I get so incensed, I can't get past the first paragraph!
∞ Family
Research Council actively advocates for women to die.
This evangelical group and lobbying organization issued a
statement, Abortion is never necessary to save the life of a mother.
Gah! The post addressing this disinformation is written by an emergency department nurse. They mention just a few of the ways a pregnancy can kill a person. And the cure is an abortion.
Abortion is health care!
Oh. Let me be very, very specific...
ALL ABORTIONS ARE HEALTH CARE!!!
An abortion to save the life of the pregnant person is health care.
An abortion after rape is health care.
An abortion after discovering fetal anomalies is health care.
An abortion for personal reasons is health care.
And yes... abortion as birth control IS HEALTH CARE!!!
Being pregnant is NOT a benign condition!
And with maternal mortality being so incredibly horrendous
here in the United
States...
Getting an abortion will ALWAYS be safer than carrying a pregnancy to term!
