The anti-science quackery about abortion is one thing, the sheer hateful misogyny of the anti-choice mindset is another, but framing is important. HELL yes I’m pro-abortion. The emotionalizing of fetuses is simply ugly misdirection. Those against abortion aren’t caring about lives. They have made an immoral moral stand, not caring who it effects, who it hurts, who it kills. It is, at its base, about personal ego.

There was a recent study on pregnancy that indicated pregnancy makes profound and permanent changes in the body. Some might be good, some might be bad. But they are always there. And they want to deny choice. As in no choice. Even abstaining from sex isn’t a guarantee, because rape is always possible.

This horrifies me.
