America's War On Abortion

[yourhairiswinterfire]

I'm just watching this on ITV, I don't know if it's a repeat, but God, it's so upsetting.

Pro-lifers pitch up everyday outside an abortion clinic in Alabama shouting abuse through megaphones at the women attending, calling them whores, sluts, ''look at the way she's dressed, showing her legs'', murderers, they deserve to bleed to death... It's just absolutely awful. The only positive is that there are volunteers who shield the women from view of the protesters with opened umbrellas as they make their way into the clinic.

One of the women had an abortion because her baby boy likely wouldn't survive, she was devastated, and she had to go through vile pricks hurling insults at her as she was making probably the hardest, most painful decision of her life :(

The campaigners racially abused the presenter, Deeyah Khan, and told her she'd probably get raped that night because of the jeans she was wearing. She bravely confronted them, and they told her ''we're not letting women speak right now''.

I'm just furious watching it. So, so angry on behalf of those women. Men thinking they own women's bodies, and some of their wives in tow, proudly declaring that they ''obey'' their husbands.

Absolute woman hating bastards, shouting 'the land of the free' whilst shaming and protesting women's freedoms.

I don't usually feel up to commenting on the serious threads, but NiceGerbil, that is honestly one of the most horrendous things I have ever read. That poor woman, and her poor family.

America is an absolute cesspit.

I haven't read the entire threat, but wanted just say that there is an amazing documentary on netflix called Reversing Roe, that looks how abortions in America have become politicised and are slowly become illegal

[OhHolyJesus]

I think After Tiller was also on Netflix Golden

I'm watching this now and it's horrifying, I mean I'm not surprised, but it is deeply shocking to hear what the protestors say, especially to the producer of the documentary.

And who takes pictures of abortions and stick them on the side of a truck FFS.

No need for trick or treaters tonight this is utterly terrifying.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence the people who are so concerned about "murdering an unborn child" also have really sexist views about women.

And I don't subscribe to the idea we should never judge another woman.

You don't say.

Every unwanted pregnancy is the result of an irresponsible or careless ejaculation by a man. No exceptions.

Let's see men shoulder their responsibility.
