@shastorra “I was given differing advice, opinion and information about my pregnancy” and I had the right to make a decision based on what felt right for me and I’m happy with my decision so anyone who aborts is wrong and they shouldn’t have a choice….

@angijones Nightclub toilets in a venue where you’re socialising in a crowd likely of men and women is different to say swimming pool or gym change rooms where women could reasonably expect not to have a man sharing the space.

@shastorra It’s pressure when it’s advice you don’t agree with and support when you do agree. I had two abortions, I have two children. I don’t define myself as a murderer. Neither does the law.

@ToshGreenslade Telling grown women to smile and act nice to please men and not “disrespect” them is also grooming and coercive control. It’s time we started calling this out.

@MFWitches I just worked a case where the father groomed and abused his own daughters - and several of their school friends over several years. He was 35 when he met their mother - she was 17. Predators play a long game. And it’s men. Men do this.

@BronwynHill1 I had an abortion when I was 18. One night stand with a DJ. Later on at 32 I had another - pregnant to then partner. We were drug addicts. Women have parenthood foisted on them like it’s some divine calling. It’s not. It’s hard, life changing, lifelong & expensive!

@JaneCaro @HayleyFoster_ @ABCthedrum So basically the answer is yes. Perpetrators rights to privacy absolutely outstrip women and children’s safety. That’s why we don’t have national registers identifying violent men. That’s why we don’t curtail their freedom, monitor them - and that’s why they offend repeatedly.
