More from Niece of Karen
Rewire is doing the same thing all over again today.
Hur hur. Throw food at them. We are very adults. Hur hur Aunt Karen, she’s such a bitch. Aren’t we good feminists?
“Ask any pregnant person,” because we don’t talk about women any more unless it’s to say throw turkeys at them.
They’re entirely right about Catholic hospitals, by the way, which is why this is so infuriating – they’re burying their own work with all this childish “throw food at women who don’t agree that man can be women” nonsense.
News flash: women get pregnant and men do not. Only women have bodies that can get pregnant; men have the other kind of bodies, the ones that can’t get pregnant. There’s no such thing as a “gender spectrum” that changes the facts. Women can wear flannel shirts and engineering boots and drive a big truck, men can wear dresses and high heels and drive a big SUV; none of that changes which sex gets pregnant and which sex doesn’t.
Caveat: Roe v. Wade is popular… Abortion itself decidedly isn’t.
And anyone can defeat that claim: Popular does not always equal right. Do better.
A young lady friend of mine went off overseas for a while, met a guy, and discovered she was pregnant. She elected to have an abortion. When I talked to her, she still thought that the abortion was a good idea, but she said that no one had prepared her to be ready for the psychological consequences afterwards. She said after the procedure she was devastated for several days. Seems like an issue she should have been counseled for.
Abortion, to me, is highly….distasteful. But that doesn’t mean that I think the power of the State should prohibit it, especially in many of the dreadful situations faced by women who have to make the decision. And, as we all know, free access to birth control and yes, even abortion, REDUCES the number of abortions. Which makes one ask the question as to why the Forced Birthers want to restrict it? (rhetorical question)
@iknklast:
You’ll get no argument from me there, but the Karen-splainer already starts off with a lie. The anti-abortion campaign has been super effective in the court of public opinion and this individual pretending it hasn’t been isn’t helping.
Also it’s basically:
“Newsflash: Jesus Christ died for your sins so embrace him or you can go to hay-elle!
Here’s what you need to know – John 3:16.”
Incitement to commit violence is a crime already. Why aren’t they being charged?
‘Women and women who identify as something other than women who can get pregnant’ may not as snappy as ‘people who can get pregnant, but it’s more accurate and remains inclusive of the precious ones.
“Women, including women who claim they are not women, and not including men who claim to be women” perhaps?
Sackbut, I don’t think it’ll fit on the t-shirt.
