“Abortion protects my right to consent”

Okay, let’s just get one thing clear before I dive into this. Consent to sex is important. Nay - fundamental. No one wants you to be raped or forced to get pregnant, and no one is denying that you are the owner of your body. Period. End of story. No ifs ands or buts.

On the topic of “continual consent” in regards to a pregnancy, allow me to use an analogy.

If you grab a rope and hold it for somebody while they rappel down a cliff, you can't just let it go and let them fall before they get to the bottom. Despite the fact that you are choosing to using your body and your strength for their benefit- if you withdraw then you have committed an act of murder. You have killed them. If you made a decision or performed an action that caused someone’s life to become dependent on yours, it’s not only unthinkably selfish to “withdraw consent” while this person depends on you; in the case of abortion, it is murder. (Yes I used the word murder. Killing your child is murder regardless of the fact that it’s legal. Don’t be pedantic, it’s childish.) By taking part in a reproductive activity you have to acknowledge that reproduction might occur. This process is not a disease, and it’s not something gone wrong. It’s the correct function of sex and the reproductive system. At that point someone else’s life attached to yours because of circumstances outside of their control, but completely within your own. You’re holding the rope. No one wants to force you to pick up a rope, but once you’re holding it, you’re holding it. We should be willing to support you holding it, to help, to make it easier, and to defend you from discrimination or attack from people who want you to stop holding the rope. But letting go after you’ve chosen to pick it up is wrong.

Which brings us to “abortion is healthcare.”

The first error in this statement is treating pregnancy as if it is a health concern or abnormality. It is not. Pregnancy is a perfectly normal and correct biological function of women, to produce offspring.

Because a woman’s body is affected (sometimes negatively) by being pregnant, preventing or limiting those effects would be healthcare. Healthcare during pregnancy would be ultrasounds to make sure mama and baby are okay, and preventative measures to make sure nothing goes wrong for either of them. In extreme situations, healthcare might mean emergency surgery to attempt to save one or both lives. Health care is never abortion. (If one more person brings up ectopic pregnancies istg… not a single prolifer is arguing that those should be allowed to kill the mother.)

Calling abortion healthcare is funtementally twisted. It’s not healthcare the same was murdering a person who causes you mental or emotion problems isn’t mental health care. The true purpose of a healthcare provider is to protect the life and health of ALL of their patients, to do no harm, and not to play God in taking life. (Detailed here * and here *) Caring for your health should never involve actively, intentionally, maliciously destroying the existence of a smaller weaker human being. That is the height of exploitation and oppression.

Furthermore,

Over a thousand OB-GYNs and maternal healthcare experts joined together to affirm this reality in the Dublin Declaration, which states: “As experienced practitioners and researchers in obstetrics and gynecology, we affirm that direct abortion – the purposeful destruction of the unborn child -- is not medically necessary to save the life of a woman. We uphold that there is a fundamental difference between abortion, and necessary medical treatments that are carried out to save the life of the mother, even if such treatment results in the loss of life of her unborn child. We confirm that the prohibition of abortion does not affect, in any way, the availability of optimal care to pregnant women.”

This is how the so-called “healthcare” procedure takes place. The living human will slowly bleed to death as it is torn limb from limb. It can, however, survive for a time while its limbs are being torn off. . . The process is not quick, and it is not painless according to a new study published a month ago by people on both sides of the abortion debate that shows evidence of the unborn feeling pain from at least 12 weeks gestation.

“Overall, the evidence, and a balanced reading of that evidence, points towards an immediate and unreflective pain experience mediated by the developing function of the nervous system from as early as 12 weeks.”

At the end of the abortion, after the larger pieces of the child have been torn off with forceps and the remaining pieces sucked out with a vacuum, the abortionist is left with a tray containing a dismembered human corpse.

Some people advocate for using it as population control. Again, the height of exploitation and oppression.

The concept of intentionally exterminating the weak, sick, poor, needy, and/or underdeveloped for the supposed greater good is similarly unthinkable and undeniably holocaustic. It’s dehumanizing to the human fetus, and to every underprivileged person on the planet. Killing a human, ANY human, based on their quality of life, is not an acceptable form of population control and takes focus away from actually solving the issues that cause suffering on our planet. I say this as a poor, disabled, sexual and physical abuse survivor. My life is still worth living, stop using me and mine to justify grotesque acts of violence against the youngest and weakest members of society.

Additionally, what people may not realize is that sex trafficking victims are often coerced into abortions by the trafficker so that he or she can continue to make a profit off of them. A ground-breaking study by the Beazley Institute found 66 human-trafficking survivors had a total of 114 abortions — 114 abortions among 66 women. One sex-trafficking survivor described her experience:

“Over the years I had pimps and customers who hit me, punched me, kicked me, beat me, slashed me with a razor. I had forced unprotected sex and got pregnant three times and had two abortions at [a clinic]. Afterward, I was back out on the street again.”

The prevalence of forced abortions is an especially disturbing trend in sex trafficking."- Laura J. Lederer, the Senior Adviser on Trafficking for the US State Department

Abortion is profoundly anti-woman as it enables men to use our bodies as sex objects without any reverence for their reproductive capabilities or responsibility to any new life their actions create. Men aren’t required to take responsibility for their children, and this reduces women from life-givers, to sex dolls. The previously quoted survivor of six abortions incurred severe infections from the scar tissue, necessitating a hysterectomy. She could no longer bear children if she wanted. Abortion is, at its best, 100% not safe for at least one unwilling participant. At its worst, these are the possible complications for the most common form of abortion.

* Incomplete abortion which may necessitate a surgical abortion

* Infection of the uterus

* Excessive bleeding

* Torn cervix

* Infection of Fallopian tubes

* Punctured uterus

* Blood clots in the uterus

* Reaction to anesthesia

* Infertility

The figure above shows the age-adjusted relative risk of death in the year following a birth, miscarriage, or abortion compared to the rate of death among women not pregnant. The results are from a multi-year study of all women in Finland, linking death certificates to central registries for pregnancy outcomes. It clearly shows abortion is associated with an elevated risk of death, while carrying to term is associated with a lowered risk of death.

Many people claim that the fetus, though inarguably a human, cannot be considered a person due to its lack of cognitive or physical ability. This begs the question, at what point in does a born human cease to be a considered person based on physical or mental disabilities. Will we kill the born disabled much as we will the preborn disabled? Does someones physical or mental powers really impact their worth as a member of the human species? Is it not enough to be a living and also to be human?

Newborn with spina bifida born alive after failed abortion attempt dies in his mothers arms. Medics refused to help the baby after he was born alive despite a lethal abortion injection having been administered. <- this is the heartlessness of abortion culture.

And here's a state government website that describes all the different abortion procedures if you can stomach them. Abortion is not pretty. It’s not healthcare. It’s not “a woman’s right” it is ugly because it is the death of a human being.

Now for the "clump of cells" argument. In some cases at least, I think perhaps it comes from people seeing miscarried tissue and confusing the whole thing for the baby when it's actually the gestational sac and some surrounding tissue and the baby isn't identifiable in some cases.

On “self defense.”

If you ever needed to know the extent of how the I/P conflict is fandomized, there is a popular post going around with a Sailor moon sticker saying Free Palestine and all the comments are talking about how it's their aesthetic and they totally need to buy it

Because this doesn't matter to them, it's just the cool hip and trendy thing

"Kuina's death is ridiculous" yes! That's the point! You do realize that falling down the stairs is a way of showing Zoro how fragile human lives are, right? You are aware that the point of Kuina's character is the unfairness of the world towards women in comparison to the privileges men have, like living in itself and fulfilling their dreams, right? You know that Kuina's death is "ridiculous and dumb" because it's meant to show that even the strongest person Zoro knew could die from something so little, right? You understand that the value Zoro gives to life is fucking immense, right? Right?? You realize Zoro can't seek revenge because nobody took her away from him and now the only thing he can do is become the world's greatest swordsman to avenge her death, right? You get that Zoro's character is an atheist because he doesn't believe in anyone and he can only rely on himself when it comes to Kuina's sudden death, right? You are aware that sometimes people die in the simplest of ways and that doesn't make them weak because death doesn't discriminate, right? You know that all of these things are what make Zoro's character so interesting and important, right? Right??? You know, right?

Well, of course you fucking don't because if you knew you wouldn't be saying her death is ridiculous <3

meg baby, I promise we’ll all look the other way if you decide to strangle that chimera ant built bitch. I promise we won’t say nothing.

i really like how canonically yuu is genuinely supportive of grim wanting to be a great mage. if i recall correctly, even character voice lines point this out. and it seems like yuu dotes on grim a lot and defends him too??? yuu even encourages grim's ambitions whenever he declares wanting to be a great mage. and also when he does that boss-henchhuman dynamic. i mean yeah you can interpret it as yuu saying that being condescending and sarcastic as if they're talking to a child saying "when i grow up i want to be famous!" but like. i really think they're genuine when mc loves grim in their own way.

even if grim is usually a menace, he's become like family to yuu.

and i'm pretty sure grim feels the same way.

think about it this way. despite all the mess, all the unpredictability, the danger, and all the drama being in nrc. what's always the constant? yuu goes home at the end of the day to the ramshackle dorm (basically their home at this point considering they slowly but surely fix it up over time) and with who? “the great mage” grim. as the sole outcasts in that academy, they both sleep soundly knowing they will always have each other at the end of the day.

There are no more heroes.

Well, okay. Rewind a bit.

Danny has been doing the hero thing for a while now. He’s had a big reveal; everyone has accepted him (including his parents), the GIW disbanded, the Anti-Ecto acts repealed, and generally, everything is going great. Some of the A-Listers are even training as junior ghost hunters to help give him a break from his rogues! (Being Ghost King makes things hectic sometimes, and he just needs the extra help. Sue him!)

The point is, literally nothing is wrong with Danny Phantom’s afterlife.

And then Valerie Gray, the Red Huntress, disappears in front of his eyes.

Danny is baffled! She’s just…gone! Valerie just popped out of existence, like she was never there. But no matter how hard he searches in the Ghost Zone, he can’t find her soul anywhere. His core isn't broken in grief. So she’s not dead. Which is good. So then, where is she?

Some of the others come forward with ideas on how to find her. A few ghosts volunteer to go out into the mortal realm, an area Danny had declared off-limits, to see if she was out there. Danny approves it. He rounds up some of the friendlier (i.e., discreet) ghosts and Amity Parkers and demolishes the outside travel ban.

So everyone spreads out, looking for their dear frenemy and teammate. But it becomes apparent very quickly that something is wrong with the rest of the world.

There are no more heroes.

Every single living superhero on the face of the Earth has just…vanished. Villains are running amok; the countries are in chaos! Some aliens are invading Earth, mythical deities are trying to take over, and society is crumbling to the ground. Everything is on the brink of collapse.

Well, Danny was still there. And so were his people. They were pretty spread out, so could they just…take up the mantles? He also knew where to find the souls of dead heroes in the Zone; surely they wouldn't mind coming out of retirement for a little bit, especially if they couldn't die again. Oh! And that skeleton army leftover from Pariah Dark's reign might be useful in repelling those invading forces.

Honestly, there were more than enough hands to go around! And with the heroes gone, Danny didn't mind letting everyone out for a little break, as long as they followed his rules. They wouldn't stop the search for the other heroes, but hopefully, when they found them, the heroes wouldn't mind Danny's intervention too much. :)

In other words:

Someone fucks up, and all of Earth's living heroes are either wished out of existence or are whisked away to some far-off realm where Danny hasn't checked yet. In the attempt to figure out what's going on, Danny lets the dead run amok over the Earth as they search for clues. The skeleton army repels the invading armies, the souls of dead heroes deal with the world leaders, and his rogues and other Amity Parkers set up shop in place of famous heroes, trying to get the cities under control again.

Basically, they just do their best to keep everything from imploding until the Justice League and others are back.

(And why is it that Danny hasn't disappeared? Well, whatever caused everyone to go poof! only affected living heroes. Anyone heroes that were dead in the first place, or even just half-dead, stayed behind.)

the thing that gets me about people being like “she was forcing the connections in invisible string” is that the whole song isn’t solely about them being in the same place at different times or all the different times they could’ve met but didn’t. its about “you were living your life, doing these things, while at the same time i was living my life and doing these other things and we had no idea each other even existed.” that’s literally the whole point. she wasn’t saying “omg i used to sit on green grass and read and you used to wear a teal shirt at your job and teal and green are almost the same color omg connected” it’s just “isnt it crazy that we’ve been living on this earth all this time never knowing each other and having no idea we’d one day come into each others lives?” like im sorry i know yall dont like joe anymore but have you guys really never had the thought, while cleaning your room or making dinner, that your soulmate exists and is doing something right now, too, and that one day you’ll sit and compare the timelines of your lives with each other? like thats the whole point of the song!! not we had all of these crazy almost run ins. that’s what makes it so pretty to think!!! that they were always connected through every insignificant moment of their lives and all those little insignificant moments are essentially what led them to each other.
