Attended the Ohio March for Life (my first March for Life ever) today!

I don’t know how to tell you that criminalizing disrespect for human life and dignity in a society where it’s acceptable to disrespect the human life and dignity of criminals doesn’t actually foster a society that protects the human life and dignity of every person, just that of the people who are Not Criminals and Good (as judged by human law).

"CBP justified the rollback by stating in the memo–titled Rescission of Legacy Policies Related to Care and Custody–that the policies were 'obsolete' and 'misaligned' with the agency’s current enforcement priorities.

Together, the now rescinded policies laid out standards for detainees with heightened medical needs—requiring, for instance, access to water and food for pregnant people, ensuring privacy for breastfeeding mothers, and mandating diapers and unexpired formula be stocked in holding facilities. They also instructed agents to process at-risk individuals as quickly as possible to limit time in custody."

excerpts from “Loving Your Enemies," a sermon delivered by Martin Lither King Jr. on November 17, 1957 at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church (x)

I think one of the hardest things about discussions involving groups of people is that you start to see people as [arbitrary concept] and not as... people. You'll talk trash on people because you think that nobody in your friend group is one of *those* people.

But the kid who's struggling with their sexuality hears you when you say that gay people are going to hell.

The kid who came out on the other side of childhood trauma and abuse hears you when you use their circumstances to justify abortion, essentially implying you'd be better off dead.

The person who's trying not to self-harm in your circles and hasn't found the guts to ask for help yet hears you when you call cutters attention seekers or crazy.

People are far more than [insert group]. They're not 2D representations of a group they're a part of. They're living, human beings. Remember that when you use your words.

They support legislation to make pregnancy and birth free, to help poor/homeless pregnant women, to improve foster care, etc.

Hadn't yet seen anything cross my dash yet about how the HHS is no longer making an autism registry due to the sheer amount of public outcry about the announcement, so I wanted to post this announcement from ASAN as an update.

I'm a simple bitch. i believe the purpose of government should be to improve the lives of its citizens and protect its most vulnerable members. unfortunately i live in a day and age where this gets me labeled an enemy of the state

In honor of the angry pro-choice anon who just messaged me, who wants to help this expectant mother in need from Let Them Live with some financial assistance?

A lot of people of to act like they're the height if moral purity, as though they've never had a problematic thought or viewpoint that needed correction.

People who have realized their mistakes should be allowed to correct them and be applauded for their humility to own up to the errors of their ways rather than launch themselves further into the wrong direction.

This is an interesting thing. Looks like testimonies of people who left the MAGA movement- how they got into it and why.

Leaving a cult is really hard, so I really respect the people who are speaking from this place.

For anyone who's on the fence and think that you have to vote Republican, no matter how vile the candidate, to in order save the unborn:

Let your conscience rest clear. This man doesn't give a damn about the sanctity of unborn life, and he won't enshrine it in federal law. He's explicitly said he intends to leave it up to the states.

There's no pro-life candidate in this presidental election. I know it sucks, but in this case, vote to keep Trump out of office, and save the lives you still can save.

Speaking of dokiwatch the ad in japan for it I saw on twitter earlier is so cute

this is so wild to me because i know that i fall under the umbrella of at least some people's "people who don't deserve human rights," but i have quite literally never had that thought in my life about any human or group of humans. "yes including them, whoever it is you're thinking about right now," it has never even remotely occurred to me to try to deny anyone their human rights.

i think a lot of liberals need to confront the fact that they don’t actually believe everyone should have basic human rights. a homeless person could call me every slur under the sun and i would still want them to have housing, food, etc. the belief that everyone is entitled to basic human rights should not hinge on whether you “like” someone or not. at that point the entire ideology crumbles.
