“The unborn" are a convenient group of people to advocate against. They never make demands of you; in fact they can't even speak. They can't confront your ignorance when you call them tumors or parasites. They're powerless to denounce your lethal ableism when you suggest it's better to never live than to live with disabilities, or to condemn your classism when you imply it's better to not be born than to be born poor. They can't ask you to reckon with your racism when you tout higher abortion rates for PoC as empowerment. They can't implore you to step up and support mothers who feel they have no choice. You can forget about the unborn, mute and helpless to remind you they are here. You can advocate for abortion without substantially challenging your power or privilege to have been born yourself, to get to experience life in all its pain and beauty. You can advocate for abortion without reluctance or remorse - on demand and without apology - and never have to face the humans whose lives you've deemed worthless.
The unborn are, in short, the perfect group to dehumanize with no risk to yourself. They can't. fight back. They're stuck in a small space, forced to die in silence.”
— Monica Snyder, pro-life atheist

also say what you want about kaiba but he had the most drastic impact on men's fashion since the invention of the suit
like he changed the whole silhouette people go for with their coats for an entire generation after him, with the tight form fitting torso and the absurdly flared waist, plus the shoulder pads and the high collars for everyone
even pro duelists with less dramatic styles like ed still favor lighter colors and you can't tell me that's not because kaiba wears a white statement piece everywhere

Mary J. Paredez, 26 (USA 1977)
26-year-old Mary J. Paredez was an immigrant who came to America in the hopes of having a better life. She didn’t know at the time that American laws would allow the abortion that was going to cut her life short.
Mary died in California. She was told that abortion was safe because it was legal and she believed the lie. Like so many others, this killed her along with her baby.
On April 19, 1977, Mary had a legal abortion at San Jose Hospital. The abortionist tore her uterus and she bled to death less than 7 hours later.
Mary’s autopsy found 2500 cc of blood in her abdomen. She and her baby were killed on the same day by the same person. Both deaths were 100% preventable.

“Molly Roe,” 21 (USA 1975)
The tragic case of a 21-year-old lupus patient (known here as Molly Roe) killed by legal abortion) was reviewed by The Massachusetts Medical Society’s Committee on Maternal Welfare. They ruled the doctor’s choice to perform an abortion to be a dangerous decision and an incorrect course of action given Molly’s condition.
First, the doctors of MMSCMW confirmed that abortion was more dangerous to Molly than the pregnancy was. The decision to abort was faulty to begin with.
Second, they disapproved of the highly risky saline abortion that had been used on Molly’s baby. Placing so much saline into the body of a woman whose renal function was already compromised was a very reckless choice.
Molly was 21 years old when she was admitted to the hospital in July of 1975. She was pregnant for the first time. It was rapidly determined that she was suffering from proteinuria, hematuria and hypertension, which led to the diagnosis of lupus nephritis.
Although some symptoms of her lupus were exacerbated by pregnancy, it would have safer for Molly to not have an abortion. Danger aside, she didn’t even want an abortion. For the first week of Molly’s hospitalization, doctors treated her lupus with less aggressive methods in an attempt not to harm her baby. Then they told Molly to undergo an abortion at 19 weeks pregnant.
The doctors at the unnamed Massachusetts hospital told Molly that the abortion was “safe and legal” and apparently claimed this would relieve Molly’s symptoms and allow them to treat the lupus more aggressively. Molly didn’t want to lose her baby, but she trusted these doctors with her life— and she and her baby paid the price for their malpractice. What she needed was healthcare, but she was pressured into abortion instead.
A saline abortion was begun by injecting a toxic concentration of saline fluid into Molly’s uterus. This was a common method of abortion at the time despite the high risk of maternal death. Since Molly’s kidneys were already struggling, having so much saline pumped into her system destroyed her last chances of survival.
Molly was killed by a dangerous abortion she never even wanted. She and her baby deserved better.
“Saline Abortion and Lupus Erythematosus,” Committee on Maternal Welfare, John F. Jewett, New England Journal of Medicine, 294:14, Apr. 1, 1976, p. 782-83
