Friendly reminder that Center for Medical Progress is not a real medical organization or medical research organization.

Planned Parenthood has been investigated for selling human organs in multiple states and nothing has turned up proving this.

More anti-abortion bullshit.

In a batch of freshly released FOIA documents, journalist David Daleiden of the Center for Medical Progress has pieced together a horrifying reality: Planned Parenthood harvests organs from viable, nonanomalous fetuses with documented heartbeats from abortions with labor induction for research at the University of California San Diego in exchange for IP rights. In other words, PP dissects healthy premies who are old enough to live outside the womb after making sure they are alive and delivering them intact, per their contract with UCSD, in which PP gets to keep all royalties for patents developed from experiments. And the Spanish-speaking mothers didn't give informed consent to this. In other words, and they prey on vulnerable minorities for their babies.

Evidence includes:

Transfer agreement outlining the exchange of fetal tissue for ownership of research IP

Research plan approved by the UCSD Institutional Review Board requesting organ samples from nonanomalous fetuses up to 23 weeks gestation

Same research plan calling for verification of a heartbeat immediately before the procedure

Did I mention this plan calls for up to 2,500 samples from 2,500 fetuses?

Email chain discussing the use of heavy doses of misoprostol before abortions after 12.5 weeks

Donation consent forms in English which state the tissue may be used commercially, but in Spanish exclude this info entirely

I wonder what medical advancements these fetuses will make! You pro-lifers are always talking about ‘the baby might find a cure to cancer’ well, now maybe they will!

Speaking as a black woman myself, this is somewhat accurate. Some male speakers in the black community treat feminism the way anti-abortion advocates treat contraceptives, and I am going to explain what I mean by that.

If you pay attention to anti-abortion speakers, they frequently criticize birth control methods and point out all the issues related to them (hormones, side effects, etc.). But they don't do that because they care about the quality of healthcare that women receive.

Anti-abortion advocates criticize birth control methods because they don't think women should have access to them at all.

For some men in black spaces, they do the same thing with feminism. They criticize how black women aren't allowed to be soft, how black women work too much, how black women are more susceptible to stress, etc. - and blame feminism for "destroying the black family."

However, they do not do this because they want black women to have happier and improved lives.

They do this because they think black women need to be more "submissive" and conviently, it's the evil Democrats' fault for "destroying the black family" because they "put the black man out of the home 🥺." (Note: This isn't even true for a number of reasons but I'll discuss that at a later time.)

Is this to say that all or even most black men are misogynistic pieces of garbage? No.

However, this is why there has been increased attention from conservatives in attracting "black voters" (which really just means black male voters).

Offering men power over women works for any racial or cultural group.

when ur a woman who is part of any other marginalized group, i think theres a lot of pressure to prioritize that other group, instead of your womanhood, and therefore feminism is seen as a kind of betrayal. i’ve seen a lot of black women talk about how this is the case in their community specifically. which may be the reason why any generic feminist movement will get called racist “queerphobic” ableist etc etc.

I also love how a lot of women in the anti-abortion movement want to pretend as if guys like Nick Fuentes came of nowhere and are just weirdly attracted to the anti-abortion movement for some reason.

This man literally had dinner with the same president these women voted for.

White nationalists like Fuentes have also been showing up to anti-abortion rallies and events for years.

Instead of acknowledging the pro-choice people who brought up these concerns years ago, the anti-abortion movement chose to call pro-choice people racist and lecture us about black and POC women getting abortions and Margaret Sanger. Because you know, "pro-aborts are the real racists."

Like, it's a little late to pretend like white supremacists showing up to your events, meeting with your politicians and getting a voice is in your movement was just a silly, goofy accident.

the nick fuentes “your body my choice” crowd make it clearer than ever that abortion bans are primarily motivated by the desire to control women, rather than deeply held religious beliefs about the sanctity of life or whatever

I really wish Christian conservatives - especially the women, would stop playing in our faces. You guys literally marry, campaign with, vote for, advocate for and share the ideology of men who think like this.

Y'all are the same people who spent years telling women to close their legs, talk about how contraceptives like IUDs need to be illegal, created a whole "tradwife" movement to legitimize the worldview of guys like that and actively fight for abortion to be criminalized.

And the best part? You all did it because God, according to these men, who you follow Trump, Fuentes, JD Vance, etc. - told you to. You did so because your pastors and religious leaders told you that you had to support abortion bans to be good Christians.

The only difference between y'all and Nick Fuentes is that he is actually honest about who he is and what he believes.

Conservative women have overwhelmingly stood beside men like Nick Fuentes, and voted for anti-abortion politicians who share his worldview.

[prettyvintageafternoon]

Y'all have to remember that anti-abortion women literally had grandmothers who thought "separate but equal" was actually a thing.

Of course they're dumb enough to believe abortion exceptions are real just because they're on paper.

[prettyvintageafternoon]

I think it's also important to note that the reason why the "welfare queen" myth has existed for so long is because it was a stereotype that conservatives pinned on black women in particular.

It's much easier to galvanize conservative voters into voting to gut welfare programs that they also use if you're using a black woman's face as the symbolic image for the supposed problem.

These are the same people who vote against abortion access because they think black women are having 10,000 abortions in one day when they themselves have also had abortions, or know someone who has.

The "welfare queen" is and always has been a myth but also I'm just not gonna be made to pretend I care about her. I'd rather every single child had food to eat every day of their lives than spend any amount of my time worrying about whether some random person is taking advantage of the system.

I find several things funny about this thread, but I'm gonna address them below.

Planned Parenthood does not sell fetal bodyparts. There is no "selling children" involved. However, the adoption industry - which many anti-abortion activists have long used as an abortion alternative, has made millions of dollars selling children to couples and anti-abortion advocates don't give two shits about that. (Hmmm I wonder why?)

Abortion is not "poisoning" a fetus.

Being forced to carry unwanted pregnancies to term is not a "price" of women's liberation. Anyone who considers women's liberation to involve being forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy doesn't actually believe in that type of liberation at all. It's funny how the same pro-life "leftists" have the exact same conservative viewpoints as the rest of the anti-abortion movement. (It's almost like the anti-abortion movement isn't leftist at all.) Saying women need to accept the "consequences of their actions" because it was "forseeable and expect result of you [women] exercising your volition and agency" is not any different than when other conservative women say "You should've kept your legs closed." You just want to punish women with pregnancies that they don't want because they chose to have consensual sex, and you have an issue with that.

It's funny how abortion access treats fetuses as "fungible commodities" yet forcing a woman to carry a pregnancy to term that she doesn't want doesn't make her a commodity. Interesting.

Carrying to term can be avoided — at the cost of deliberately and violently exterminating a tiny, powerless person through suffocation, poisoning, or dismemberment. You have no right to choose to martyr your child for your lifestyle, present circumstance, or future trajectory. If you are not willing to pay the cost of your own liberation, you may not force your child to pay it for you by sacrificing her life.

This is how abortion treats children as slave property. It treats their lives as fungible commodities that may be exchanged at whim. Abortion effectively sells the bodies of children to the abortion industry in exchange for freedom from familial bond.

You are in fact allowed to "martyr" someone to defend your bodily integrity if that is your only option.

[prettyvintageafternoon]

I would also like to add that the Unplanned "documentary" was created based on the experiences of Abby Johnson, an anti-abortion activist who worked for Planned Parenthood.

She has also had two abortions. 🤣

Gives you something to think about.

[prettyvintageafternoon]

No, you don't.

You wish that people would praise you for "fighting for fetuses" in the way that people now praise people like Harriet Tubman and John Brown for saving the lives of enslaved people. You wish to be worshipped for making it harder for others to get an abortion so that you can pretend that you care about others.

That's why you compare enslaved people to fetuses, so that you can cosplay being a hero while restricting and harming others.

And while black women's maternal mortality experiences increase in states that people who think like you control, people like you will pat yourselves on the back for causing that, blame the doctors for following the policies you asked for and blame pro-choice people for warning you to stay out of other people's medical situations.

Because you - all of you in the anti-abortion movement, genuinely don't care about other people's welfare.

You care about controlling other people's reproductive decisions.

The way my teacher is teaching about how awful slavery was and how people fought against, I wish it was the same for abortion.

I created this art as a gift for my friend Diya. This is his son, Magdy and his cat whose story I shared here.

Right now, Diya is separated from his family in Gaza and has been for over a year. His family is facing the second winter since they were displaced from their home. The winters in Gaza are harsh. People are taking shelter in flimsy tents, that don't protect them from the wind and rain. The rain brings with it flooding that destroys everything. Diseases are spreading with no access to proper sanitation and medical care. When they went to receive polio vaccinations, they witnessed an IOF attack on the taxi in front of them.

The last donation was 6 hours ago, and there have only been 4 donations in the 24 hours. We need to help Diya reach his short-term goal of 30% so he can help his family purchase winter supplies that they need to survive. It is already November. There is literally no time to waste. His family has suffered through so much already. Please stand by them and do everything you can to support them. Share this post and donate. With your help we can reach the goal!

This campaign is vetted by association here. It is also #55 on the Gaza Vetters List by @/gazavetters.

$6,732 / $9,000 (short term goal)

So, the woman who died of sepsis during a miscarriage in Texas, Nevaeh Crain, was apparently anti-abortion and so was her family.

The Pro-Publica article that reported on this story says:

'After Crain died, Fails couldn’t stop thinking about how Christus Southeast Hospital had ignored her daughter’s condition. “She was bleeding,” she said. “Why didn’t they do anything to help it [the miscarriage] along instead of wait for another ultrasound to confirm the baby is dead?”'

Several things about this story to me are absolutely hilarious:

1. Help the miscarriage along by doing...what? Giving her the same medication that causes abortion? Bitch, you voted to ban that, remember?

2. The mother of this kid also tried to explore legal avenues to sue the doctors after they refused to touch her daughter, again - due to the ban. However, no lawyer would take her case.

3. This situation happened in Vidor, Texas. That place had signs like this not too long ago. It's literally a 'former' sundown town. Almost totally white and still trying to move past its...reputation (source link here).

After years of pro-lifers using black women as the face of the abortion problem, you guys couldn't figure out that you can't sue your way out of the bans you asked for?

I could've expected this ignorance from y'all when it was just black women dying.

But you guys thought...that it was going to be different for you?

🤣

If there is one silver lining in this whole situation, it's that black, pro-choice women who voted and did everything to stop outcomes like this, will get to watch women who voted against their own interests (and ours) finally get the healthcare quality that they asked for.

I can't wait.

My predictions for the next four years:

1. The Comstock Act will be passed

2. Birthrates will continue to decline

3. At least two conservative justices will retire, meaning Trump will chose the next Supreme Court Justices

4. There will be an increase in conversations related to "traditional values" in black circles (i.e. complaints about black women, "modern women," etc.)

5. There will be legislation for higher taxes on childless adults who don't have kids (likely to accommodate paying people to have more children)

"Sorry we discriminated against Chad. He's -9 months."

Like that's how the age discrimination argument from the anti-abortion movement sounds.

"I don’t think the government should have the right to make you do things with your body you don’t want to." have u ever thought about how the government shouldn't have the right to sanction violence against ur body just because of ur age-appropriate dependency

Well it’s a good thing the government doesn’t mandate abortions, huh? You’re the ones who want to mandate people have their bodies used against their will, all I want it people to have the right to choose.

[prettyvintageafternoon]

Let's see how the anti-abortion people spin this one.

[prettyvintageafternoon]

I had said a while ago that I don't feel bad for misogynistic women who experience misogyny, and people got mad at me.

Situations like this are why I say that.

A lot of the women in the anti-abortion movement care just as much about punishing other women for having sex as anti-abortion men do, which is why they support anti-abortion policies.

Now that the policies are also harming them, they want to blame the doctors for following the policies that they asked for, pro-choice people who warned them that these situations would happen and literally everyone but themselves.

My sympathy is reserved for women (and people with uteruses) who don't support these policies and have to live under them anyway.
