ABORTION (because I just couldn't resist)
justinjuxtapose:
Everyone always makes the wrong arguments concerning abortion. Honestly, if you want an intelligent perspective on abortion continue reading. Otherwise, fuck off. NOBODY thinks abortion is a good thing or a righteous thing. Pro-Life people need to stop acting like Pro-Choice people hate kids and Pro-Choice people need to stop acting like Pro-Life people hate women and freedom....

Rabble's New Theme
Here’s what my PR guy has to say about my new theme:
“Reading some of the comments on the new theme, and thought I’d address a few of them myself. The Eye: I did Photoshop the picture some, but I didn’t Photoshop the eye. It was mostly formatted for color, size, and to cut out the frame. Sorry the eye offends, but I take no credit for the offense. The picture was straight...

Reblog: Is the fetus part of the woman's body?
jadedbutohsolovely:
I just rolled my eyes in the hilarity of this.
‘A fetus may be attached to the womans body, but it is still a seperate little human being developing.’
at no point did littlelightx state that she doesn’t recognise that the fetus is attached to the mother (which makes rabbles reblog completely insignificant). She was pointing out that you people fail to recognise the fact that...

Scientific evidence, please.
We have provided more than enough for you, it’s your turn to now “proove” that a fetus isn’t a person.
A fetus may be attached to the womans body, but it is still a seperate little human being developing.
You choose to deny this.

More New Theme!
I got an e-mail from my PR guy to the effect of “Never, ever, EVER use paint to make a background for a webpage.” He offered to set me up with a new theme and background, and I took him up on that offer. This is what he came up with.
Thoughts?
jadedbutohsolovely:
A fetus is not counted as a person, because that’s what the law states, right? So therefore it must be correct, it’s implications are not moral-less, what the law states is right.
Well, the Nuremberg laws of Nazi Germany stated that Jews were practically not persons, either. They were put in concentration camps because they simply didn’t fit an ideal. They were dehumanized....

I Understand what your saying about like the pro-life thing. I just think that having a baby is an incredibly emotionally taxing experience and if you’re not ready for it you shouldn’t do it. I don’t believe a human is truly alive until it can live on its own, so basically not until its out of its mom. I think people should have the right to decide weather or not they are ready. If...

Funny you should ask, Dear Readers, let me tell you a story from way back in 1973…the story of Gerri Twerdy Santoro…
“The name of the woman pictured [above] is Gerri Twerdy Santoro. She was just 28 years old. She was a sister, a daughter, and she was the mother of two daughters when she died a very painful and frightening death.

New Theme!
So I just spent about an hour using paint to make this collage of pro-choice images for my new theme. I think it’s cool.

Rabble is seeking a new theme!
Yeah, the old one seemed a bit immature and hurting-on-the-eyes so my PR Guy and I have decided that Rabble should get a new theme.
The only thing I need is that the About Me section be showing at all times.
Any suggestions?

I don’t follow you, and I’m not a female. Okay, how about a better issue. Why the fuck are you anti-choice, scumbag hoe?
While I disagree with the phrasing of this reply, I agree with the spirit of it.
Thank god you don’t follow me. And I’m so shocked at a male being pro-choice.
I’d like to point out that it really only makes sense for men to be pro-choice.

Tumblr name?: fromthemountains
Ask Me Anything!: Just a comment - I really appreciate what you are doing by bringing the pro-choice stance and everything for which it truly stands to the forefront of the debate. Allowing anti-choicers to control the debate for so long has led to misnomers such as “pro-life” and “partial-birth abortion” that lead even true pro-choicers to...

(trigger) Raped? Human Life Alliance Says Birthing... →
Few women have suffered like people who are victimized by sexual predators. Be it stranger rape, acquaintance rape, date rape or incest, the person who has been sexually assaulted must deal not only with the physical effects of the attack, but the long-term emotional effects, as well.
And for those girls and women who have not only been victimized but also impregnated by their attackers, the...

pinkyisthebrain:
Well, obviously at some point near the very end of the pregnancy, abortion would mean terminating a perfectly viable baby. Think of it in terms of extremes — obviously 5 minutes after she gets pregnant, the fetus isn’t a citizen and, fairly obviously, 5 minutes before she gives birth, assuming the baby is healthy, it is a citizen. The question of citizenship gets tricky when you...

pinkyisthebrain:
The real issue with abortion, above and beyond the right/wrong issue, is this: when is the fetus a citizen? Citizens (and this includes illegals) have the rights to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” So, don’t ask when life starts, because the cells that go into that fetus (the egg, the sperm) are technically alive and if you go by that, then life started billions of...

THIS.
“People can muck everything up by claiming that a fetus has rights (which it doesn’t because it can’t), or that women who have abortions do so for “convenience” (which is pretty much the driving motivation for everything we do) and are thus “morally lazy,” or that a six-week fetus looks like this (and only a cold-blooded killer would harm something so precious), but...
I think this is brilliant :')
jadedbutohsolovely:
Awh look, another assumption of a pro-lifer’s morals and mind! Firstly, to rabble - a woman can in no way be enslaved to her biology, that’s possibly the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard you say.
Forcing a woman to be pregnant just because she can get pregnant is enslaving her to her biology. Plain and simple.
Does that mean she’s enslaved to her periods? That’s part of...

Radically pro-choice.
This doesn’t mean pro-abortion. Saying someone is “for abortion” isn’t represntative of the pro-choice standpoint.
Pro-choice is about letting women make their own decisions regarding when they have sex and with whom, what form(s) of birth control...

My patient Sherry is 24, pregnant, and the mother of a 7-month-old son.

She and her husband spent several weeks eagerly anticipating the growth of their family.

“While I consider myself both pro-life and a feminist, I sympathize with the pro-choice stance on abortion.

I know abortion is a subject that pretty much everyone has an opinion on. I get riled up because my mom worked at Planned Parenthood in the 60’s and 70’s. I’ve heard what happens to girls in places where abortion was illegal, or where spousal/parental consent was mandated. It bothers me that people think they have the right to decide for others, considering what happens to a lot of...
"Anti-abortion laws kill women"
lennonlove:
Oh, well pro-abortion laws kill babies so it’s a lose/lose sitch, don’tcha think bb?
Not really. You see women feel pain, fetuses are not babies and don’t feel pain, women are persons and most of the women having abortions are already mothers.
So are you going to say every woman faced with an unwanted pregnancy deserves the death penalty for it?
Love,
Rabble
