Yes, a woman should always have the right to choose. I agree completely. The choice she has is whether or not to have a child.

[fckme-justletmecum]

imagine breeding me, fucking my tight little cunt and cumming deep, right against my cervix. imagine how beautiful i'd look, slowly growing even softer than i already am, with the proof of our lovemaking.... proof that i belong to you now and forever, that you've claimed me in the most basic and permanent way. imagine seeing my hips widen and knowing that you've permanently altered my body, just by using me the way i was made to be used. you've changed me, taken my entire life and pulled it in a new direction. imagine me riding you 6 months in, round and radiant, thighs shaking as i cum on your cock and beg for you to keep going, all because my hormones are driving me mad

imagine that moment when i first meet our child, wrinkled and red and crying, and i weep at how utterly perfect they are. imagine them, half me and half you and wholly new, an entire person created through us

imagine me sucking your cock while we wait for the go-ahead to fuck again, doing my best to serve you even with my cunt off limits, playing with my clit while you fuck my face. imagine spooning me, fucking my thighs and playing with my milky tits and telling me that this just proves my whole body was made for serving you

and then, when we do get permission to "return to normal activities"? imagine bringing the baby to grandma's house so we can have our first "date night" since they were born. imagine racing back home and tearing our clothes off as we rush into bed, my sweet soft thighs spread for you and my cunt already soaking wet. you find my hips are even easier to grab hold of, my tits are impossibly big and sensitive, and as shy as it makes me, you love my big soft belly, covered in marks from stretching to bear your child

imagine teasing me, rubbing against my clit until i'm nearly crying from how bad i want you. you turn me over and slip inside, doggy style, and yes it's different but it's definitely still good. you still feel my cunt shiver and clench with every thrust. my tits are leaking onto the sheets, i'm dripping slick and drooling a bit as i moan, and you're fully in control, using my cunt like it's meant to be used. imagine me begging you to make me your cocksleeve, fill me with your cum... give me another baby. imagine me, sleep deprived and struggling with a newborn, begging for another already, begging to be your breeding toy, begging to be sososo full of you all the time. imagine how much easier it would be the second time, how you've changed me and made me even more suited to this, my real purpose

Women who may be considering sterilization after the election results, may I direct you to the r/childfree subreddit’s list of doctors who are supportive of this choice and will help you? It’s an amazing resource, organized by location/state.

I got sterilized earlier this year with a bilateral salpingectomy and I’m happy to share any info about the process (although I live in Canada so can’t tell you about American costs or insurance). It was a very quick, easy, safe surgery, and I’m deeply grateful every single day that I was able to make that choice for myself. Feel free to DM, send me an ask, or reblog if you want more info. Happy to help however I can.

Carter Sherman at The Guardian:

In the months after the US supreme court overturned Roe v Wade, permanent contraception in the form of tubal sterilizations and vasectomies surged among young adults living in states likely to ban abortion, new research released on Monday found. Compared to May 2022, when the opinion overturning Roe leaked, August 2022 saw 95% more vasectomies and 70% more tubal sterilizations performed on people between the ages of 19 and 26, according to the study, which was conducted by researchers at the George Washington University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Michigan.

In addition to analyzing data about medical visits for permanent contraception before and after the opinion’s leak, the researchers also examined survey responses from more than 600 people between the ages of 14 and 24 who were asked about the fall of Roe. “It has made me want to be sterilized more,” said one 24-year-old female survey respondent from the US south. “The pill isn’t 100% effective and I’m afraid of losing access to it, and I do not want children in the future and would much rather be sterilized. I’m afraid of getting pregnant and not being able to make decisions for myself.”

Published in the journal Health Affairs, the study also found that, overall, tubal sterilizations – which surgically alter women’s fallopian tubes and are colloquially known as “getting tubes tied” – were more popular than vasectomies. There were about seven more tubal sterilizations performed per state a month in the second half of 2022, compared to roughly three more vasectomies a month per state. That popularity probably reflects the longstanding expectation that women shoulder the burden of contraception. But Julia Strasser, the study’s lead author, suspects that there may be other reasons, too.

A recent study published in Health Affairs reveals that the permanent contraception rate rose in the US in the aftermath of the Dobbs ruling.

Stan and his little forest 🌲

I recently drew this last Nov 20, 2024. It’s a fanart for one of my online discord friends fanfic who wrote “Family Planning” on ao3 uwu 💖 I love that Stan’s finally having his own family and getting the chance to be a dad! ughhhh I’m sobbing. I want to give him everything and all the happiness he deserves!!!! There’s no gender reveal yet, but my headcanon is Stan’s a daddy’s girl type and he’s gonna have both twin girls!!! hehe

I remembered that one episode from gravity falls where stan’s carrying waddles in a baby carrier and It gave me the idea like what if he’s carrying his own babies gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh. Since Stan is soooo big, he can carry both twins on his front XD I saw another baby carrier reference where there’s one on the front and back haha maybe i’ll draw them again next time like they’re going for a family outing XD definitely gonna color them too cuz I just know the babies would get stan’s orange nose gaaaaaaaa that would be so cute!!! I’m already dying from the fluff and cuteness (∗∕ ∕•̥̥̥̥∕ω∕•̥̥̥̥∕)

i know family planning is a hard topic and can be controversial, how one chooses to grow their family is a contentious topic, and often politicised for some reason, but people saying "I know that you can JUST adopt" whenever bad news comes out regarding family planning is so :/// bad feeling, you know.

or "you can always just adopt instead of doing X"

or "oh you cant do XY now! just adopt!"

or "dont' do that! that's bad! just adopt!!!"

or "it's not the end of the world. just choose adoption"

or even "just adopt!!!"

yes, let's just choose adoption. as if it's not grueling and heartbreaking for everyone involved lol let's just adopt, let's just choose this. sure you know adoption is just SO easy to do! sure you know adoption is JUST so simple, you can even hand back the child if you don't want them anymore lol. just so easy. just adopt.

the flippant way adoption is banded around is so upsetting sometimes. did you ever think about us as the adoptees? the ones who it affects the most?

i guess not!

[masterjedilenawrites]

Howdy!!! I was wondering if you could write about S/O asking their clone lover if they would get a vasectomy? I've never felt comfortable with birth control, with it having side effects and the chance of not working. But vasectomys seem very effective and are reversible! If you dont feel like doing all of the clones, you can just do the bad batch! Or just Crosshair, he's my favorite 😍. If you're not comfortable writing this, I totally get it! Thanks for reading my ask anyway! I love your writing!

Crosshair's my favorite too 😊

But let's throw all the bois and batch into this one... Except for Echo, who I headcanon to not have a fertile/working *ehem* member, so no worries on that front if he's your partner. Let's sub him out for... Gregor? Howzer? Ooh, wait, how about Bacara!

[18+ only below the cut, please and thank you]

Cody, Rex, and Kix are totally fine with this plan. Whether you don't want kids yet, ever, or any more, they will always defer to you in these matters. They don't have strong preferences and simply want you to be happy. If you're more comfortable with them getting sterilized over the alternatives, then your wish is their command.

Tup, Dogma, and Tech will want to do some research first, and discuss what your goals are with birth control as a couple. Permanent solution or temporary? Short and long term side effects? Cost? Etc. Once you're on the same page and decide a vasectomy is the right thing for your relationship, then they'll gladly do their part.

Jesse, Hunter, and Wrecker will blanch at the idea of getting snipped. They're very, um, sensitive over anything regarding their genital area. Don't get them wrong, they'll still do it for you, of course. But the thought kinda sorta really freaks them out, despite it being a routine, safe procedure. They'll need a pep talk and lots of aftercare to get them through it.

Wolffe, Fox, and Crosshair are actually thrilled at the idea. Maybe not about the process itself, but at the idea of having an effective way of preventing an unplanned pregnancy. The thought always secretly stressed them out. But if all it takes is a simple procedure and then you two can get intimate in whatever way you want with few to no consequences? Deal. Sold. Done.

Fives, Hardcase, and Bacara are also okay with getting the ol' snip-snip, though they will put it off for as long as you'll let them. They don't like the idea of having to take it easy for a while afterward - in their daily life as well as in the bedroom. When they do get it done, you'll have to keep a close eye on them so they follow the recovery plan properly.

[claggorluvrgurl]

Things that me and my discord buddy talk about how romance and life would realistically work with Claggor and my oc

Marriage for the first part ....how Many nuclear families do you witness in Zaun?? Like couples exist kids are made but it's not a very typical thing you see. Think how expensive marriage is without the ceremonies in general. Like buying a ring or materials to make it could be a lot possibly changing your names cost an arm and a leg. In the u.s

The way I see it most nuclear families are just the equivalent to being a mated pair in the wild. Unless a child is made from a fling or they just choose to come together to look after their bio kids just through combined income

Getting married isn't a common occurrence not saying love and dating isn't a thing but it just wasn't something that happened as much in the older days and is probably a newer occurrence in there you get generations.

Claggor would have intentions of marrying my OC Opal but not necessarily because he sees it as a big thing that he needs to do but as a show of commitment. And in a way making it evidently clear she is off limits to others. *He isn't possessive it's because people be spreading rumors about my OC being for the streets! 😭 And other contextual stuff*

Anyway because it's something he wants he's not sure how to go about it because not many people get married at all in Zaun so one of the few way anyone wants to get married at least legally is probably in Piltover

This is in AU where stuff isn't as trash but the people of Zaun are still not living in the 100 better condition as they did in that one AU

Realistically think of a slightly more fast tracked version of the civil rights era ( Ruby Bridges has an insta it wasn't that long ago...) and the crappy but better current state of the US now.

Also just another concept to consider about Zaun and why there may be a lot of orphans thus some couples may just choose to adopt rather than have bio kids

One you can literally pick a kid off the street almost like you could a stray animal because their parents are likely dead. ( Note how messed up that is in large consideration)

Yeah if they're not orphaned because their parents recently died it's probably cuz mom died at birth because if dying in birth is risky now especially for minority moms you bet it's extremely common in Zaun.

Opal wants a family she's not against adoption shoot she'd be happy to but in her heart of hearts she wants to experience what other women topside get to. But that scares Claggor because one Opal isn't sickly or frail but evidently she is small and he's hella big. And mom can die in childbirth or before due to lack of resources and medical care in Zaun.

Some people I'm Zaun just have it better off because they have connections and a friend of a friend not everyone is lucky

I highly doubt there are actually hospitals in Zaun most births are probably at home and if you have severe medical needs you fix them yourself or get help from someone more medically inclined

Or die

Stuff to consider when thinking about romance in Zaun

Family planning and all that can entail

Also overall with my OC I imagine Claggor is the kinda guy who'd wanna give the person he's with the world. He'd want to give them his all he has a big heart and I imagine he's a big softie. So the thought of losing someone he loves would scare him to death. So the thought of Opal possibly dying in child birth would terrify him.

Like picture him just tears at the thought of losing the love of his life and having to navigate cruel world with a small child as a single dad. Like shit where do you put a baby in Zaun!?! It makes sense that even if none romantically involved people stay together just for the sake of the kid somebody needs to watch an infant the air is poisonous and people are crazy on these streets.

Anyway imma quit rambling

[pro-birth]

If you are pro-choice and want fertility awareness support:

These are pro-choice fertility awareness resources for those who know someone who is PC or if you are PC yourself. If there is one thing we can agree on in the abortion debate, it's that healthy pregnancy prevention and body literacy is key to preventing pregnancy, which can lead to lessened risk for abortion.

In good faith, I share these resources. Go, learn, be empowered.

Something To Look Forward To

Premise: Sylvannah has a serious conversation with Astarion about becoming a father.

Part 2: https://www.tumblr.com/savs-sims98/760088578100461568/lex-talionis

Part 3:

Astarion X OC

| 18+, Mentions of making a baby, fluff, body positivity, self-love, mentions of pregnancy, slight humping, angst, breeding kink |

The group had gone back to camp for the day. The sun was starting to set and there wouldn’t be much daylight left for traveling. Sylvannah had something on her mind for most of the day. She had her powers for a bit now and she started to think of all the ways she could use her powers. There was one thing in particular that she needed to discuss with Astarion. After getting back and relaxing for about an hour she worked up the courage to talk to him.

Sylvannah had been laying in her tent and went to go find her love. He was seated in front of his tent reading. Astarion had his small red stool scooted by his table. His head was buried into the Necromancy of Thay as it rested on the table in his hands. He looked cute she thought. Small curls falling in front of his scrunched face. He looked like he was concentrating hard on the text in front of him.

“Astarion?” She asked trying to hide the nervousness behind her voice.

His head perked up from the book and a smile fell across his face. “Yes, love?”

“Could we talk in your tent? It’s nothing bad it’s just private. It’s just between us and I don’t want anyone to hear.” She said as she pointed to the door of his tent.

“Of course” he stated. He could tell she was nervous but he smiled sweetly to try and calm her.

Once they had made their way into his tent Sylvannah sat down on his bedroll. Astarion sat in front of her and took her shaky hands in his.

“What is it Sylvannah? I noticed you were a tad quiet today, but I didn’t want to mention anything unless you did.” He said as he squeezed her hands.

“I just need to ask you something. It’s hard for me to talk about my feelings sometimes. If you could just let me word vomit and not speak until I’m done. It would make it a lot easier on me to get across what is on my mind.” She said in one breath. She was already doing it. When Sylvannah got nervous she had a tendency to talk too much.

He looked at her with all of his attention and his ears drooped ever so slightly. Showing her he was at ease. Astarion shook his head “Alright”

Sylvannah felt calmer seeing his body language. She took a deep breath and held onto his hands. She was ready to tell him she wanted to give him a baby.

“There was a time when you told me that you were in the prime of your life when you were turned. You’ve been a vampire for 200 years. Now, I don’t know if you ever thought about having a family back then. I’m sure you were the prime age to become a father.”

She paused for a moment to gauge his reaction. He was just looking back at her. Waiting for her to continue, as he rubbed circles on her hands. It felt nice and she breathed deeply and exhaled again.

“With my new powers. I can give us a baby, and I know you’re going to ask me if this is really what I want. The choices of my body are mine. When it came to Gortash and all those years spent with him. I thought that this was something I didn’t want. Then I met you. My mind changed. I understood then that I wanted one, just with the right person.”

Her mind was racing at this point, but Astarion kept his composure. He had to hold back and give her time. He’d be lying to himself if he said he never thought of her as a mother. Seeing her with Arabella and Yenna he thought she’d make a wonderful mom. She was patient with them, stern when she needed to be, but he could tell the children loved her.

Sometimes when she was asleep he thought about what she would look like sleeping with a small bump. He always pushed back these thoughts because he didn’t think she wanted that. He didn’t even think about these things until being with her either.

“Astarion, my mind is made up when it comes to us. If you want to have a family. I want to give that to you. Of course after all this fighting is done and over with. After we go deal with my father. I would do this for you. For both of us.”

Sylvannah was finally done. She watched as Astarion sit silently. Thinking to himself. After a moment of silence he spoke.

“What do you think they will look like?” He asked with a big smile on his face.

Tears started coming down her face. He pulled her into a hug. Astarion held her close and wiped the tears from her face. “Why were you so scared to talk to me about your feelings?”

“I just didn’t know if it was a stupid suggestion all together, and it is a whole baby.”

“This isn’t stupid. I’m sorry I didn’t bring it up myself, but I just didn’t know if thats what we wanted for our relationship. We’ve both taken more lives than we can count. Making one though. That sounds nice.” He stated firmly. He hugged her one last time before they went back out to the campsite. Sylvannah felt like a giant weight had been taken off of her back. From now on she would not hesitate to talk about her thoughts and feelings.

_______________

The sun had set by now. The group was eating and enjoying their evening. Sylvannah and Shadowheart were sitting together laughing. Astarion lay on a bedroll not too far from the fire. He watched as they talked. He looked at her abdomen. Now that she had planted the idea in his head, he could not stop thinking about her swole with their babe. What would she be like? She would be lovely of course. She’d have new aches and pains and he would attend to her every need.

Astarion wanted nothing more than to climb into one of their tents and feel her. He wanted to place his hands on the soft spot of her stomach. He just wanted to be close to her and imagine their future together. Suddenly, he noticed most of camp had gone to their tents for the night. He followed Sylvannah into hers.

Once they got settled into her tent Sylvannah noticed something. Astarion was lying almost eye level with her stomach. He had one arm around her back. The other was rubbing her abdomen. It was a comforting feeling. She could feel the excitement radiating off of him as his hand pressed down a little.

“Y’know there’s nothing in there yet?” She looked at him giggling

“I know, but I can imagine. I can picture what our future will hold. I love your body. Not just because we are physical with each other. I love every inch of you. Sylvannah I love this part of your body most.” As he said this his hand worked from her stomach to her thighs. Then he caressed her hip. “The sway of your hips when you walk. The way your thighs shake in battle.”

She could start crying again, but she held it together. She listened to him as he spoke. How he talked about her body like it was a temple for worship. Her stomach wasn’t big, but the little pudge she did have always was a point of bother. Astrarion made sure she understood he loved her how she was. That she was perfect to him.

“Most of all I love your middle. The way it moves when we make love. Dipping up and down as you pant for me. When you’re at your highest it gets so wound and tight and I know you’re about to come for me. Although right now I’m thinking about something new.”

Astarion had that look of mischief in his eyes. The look he’d get right before a hunt. He looked at Sylvannah directly in her eyes. She blushed at the sight of him. He looked like he wanted to pounce.

“I’m thinking about how it’ll look with our baby nestled inside. How tender and blushed you’ll look. I know it’ll be hard, but I have all the confidence in you my dear. To think someday soon this will be the spot where we grow our first child.” He was growing hard. He didn’t care. Astarion wanted nothing more than to rip that corset off of her and put a baby in her. Get so deep in her there’s no doubt she’s with child. He pulled her close and kissed her. As he did so he ground his hips against her desperately.

“I want a baby, now.” He growled into her ear.

She was breathless. Sylvannah wanted this so bad. To have him take her now and use her powers to grow a new life. They both knew this had to wait. It would be extremely foolish and dangerous to get pregnant during all of this.

“Astarion we have to wait. Besides, this will give us both something to look forward to. But I don’t see why we can’t make love tonight. You seem awfully worked up.” She smiled at him like a fox.

He loved seeing her like that. Standing her ground and being assertive. It made his heart sore to know that he’d get to spend the rest of his new life with this woman, and someday their children.

“I know, I am glad we had this talk. I think we would make great parents. Despite both of us being class A criminals.” Astarion laughed as he pulled her close.

Sylvannah was laughing and as she did she felt his hard on against her. She scooched her behind up to him and rubbed herself along it. “How many do you think we could fit in there?”

“I think we could shoot for triplets.” He said playfully.

They made love through the night and he held her extra close to him that night. He just gained more than he could even grasp. Sylvannah loved him so much. She held onto him too running her fingers through his white locks. She wanted to enjoy the time they had together. Soon it would be more than just the two of them. She couldn’t wait to carry his child and see the proud look on his face. The proud look of a father.

[iamf0rtis]

alright this one might get me in some online fights here on tumblr but i feel like *someones* gotta bring it up

aborting a fetus with a genetic or mental disorder because you cannot take care of them is not eugenics.

bringing a fetus into the world when you can not care for their disorders is cruel.

if you can not care for a kid, you shouldn't have it. yes, that includes kids with autism, kids with down syndrome, kids with cystic fibrosis, etc. its not eugenics, its wanting the best for yourself and any kid you bring into the world.

its not bad to abort a fetus you can not care for. its bad when you know you cant take care of that child but have it anyway.

genetic testing doesnt necessarily promote eugenics, it allows parents to make educated choices about their family and the children they are bringing into the world. frankly, i think it makes the lives of disabled people better.

if you could make sure your child doesnt suffer from a chronic disability, wouldnt you do it? i dont think thats a bad thing.
