I’m a mother of six, and a Mormon. I have a good understanding of arguments surrounding abortion, religious and otherwise. I've been listening to men grandstand about women's reproductive rights, and I'm convinced men actually have zero interest in stopping abortion. Here's why…
@annamlulis
Firstly, zygotes are not kids.
Secondly, Plan B PREVENTS pregnancy, it doesn’t end a pregnancy.
You cannot abort anything if you’re not pregnant.
There’s literally countless men who don’t even wipe their own ass after they defecate & are unable to do a load of laundry but Pearl here thinks they run the world…

Typically women who are transphobic struggle with deep insecurities with their womanhood & appearance and feel threatened by trans women which is why they say stuff like this:
@theatregirl2221
@PBanpoys
Threatening to knock someone out for unsolicited comments about a person’s body isn’t threatening to “murder” them. I’ve definitely heard women say they’ll do the same in response to other people making unsolicited remarks too.

Abortion directly ends a pregnancy. Embryos & foetuses are *potential* human beings at most.
If you wouldn’t tell a women whose miscarried that she’s committed involuntary manslaughter, then stop comparing abortion to murder or homicide.
@Avengin55592123
@annamlulis
Embryos don’t have the neurological development necessary to feel pain or suffering.
I’m always going to prioritise the health and wellbeing of a person over an embryo.

Being inclusive isn’t “dehumanising women”
People who are not women who also have uteri include:
- Girls
- Non-binary people
- Trans Men
Why do so many American AntiChoicers pretend to be against child abuse & exploitation but then ignore that child marriage is still legal in 42 states?
I would love to get an answer to this question…

@KillerMartinis
The fact that they didn’t need to be inside anyone else’s body to sustain life, just like you don’t require being inside someone else’s body to sustain life. It’s not a difficult concept.
Just an FYI to AntiChoice people;
Starting today I will be blocking those who use inflammatory speech to describe abortion/people who have abortions/people who support abortion rights.
If you cannot engage rationally then you are not worth my time.

@KatyMontgomerie
The biggest threat to women is cis-het men like yourself, what are you actually doing to protect women? Or is this just deflection from your own misogynistic behaviour like most other GC men?

I doubt it makes much difference to a neonate without a brain that survives a few hours after birth vs an injection & induction a few months earlier, but if that’s the narrative you need to believe in order to justify your views then go ahead.

If Black people are responding to you in that manner, it’s a response to your lack of decorum. I’ve never had issues with Black patients but that’s because I treat them with the same respect as all people deserve.

That book fueled my Tom Robbins obsession in my early 20s. He helped shape some of my views with how he wrote about social issues.
Anyway, here’s me with a mangel-wurzel.

Removing unwanted others from our body is not “resorting to killing”. There is no right to gestation at the expense of other people’s health & wellbeing, Dermot.
@Amanda1Brezlyn
@hultmark_mark
So is mine and I don’t use that as an excuse to put my hair in other people’s space. Maybe someone can teach you how to use a hair elastic.
And you should be made to watch the mass graves of mother & baby homes exhumed, videos of abused & neglected children living in squalor, videos of women speaking of the forced gestation & birth they had to endure, videos of women dying from unsafe abortions…
In order to sleep at night, I have to believe most people have never actually seen an abortion procedure/victim.
In order to have a hope of changing minds about abortion, I have to ensure everybody does.
@annamlulis
That happened in 1991 and he was convicted for performing an abortion after the 24th week and other crimes.
You really thought you had something there, didn’t you?
@CoachCaroline
Sorry Caroline, the only men I’ve seen masturbating in public spaces have been cis men. Didn’t catch a video for you unfortunately. Soz!
A woman who doesn’t regret their abortion should also be treated with respect & dignity.
No one has an abortion because they were in a “silly goofy mood”.
How utterly misogynistic.
@AmarHujan
Then GPs need more education on Endometriosis because it took me 9 years before my GP even considered it as the cause of my unexplained pelvic pain.

@KatelynTweeter
Nope.
There is no rule or law which states I must continue gestating any pregnancy against my will.
Why do AntiChoicers think they can make things up and expect to be believed?

Most medical procedures are elective, even ones that save lives.
Elective simply means that they’re scheduled, not an emergency.

Clearly you’ve grown up with the privilege of never having to miss a day of school because you could not afford to buy enough pads/tampons.
@harmonizedgrace
OR we can make our own choices regarding whether we have sex before marriage or not.
Other people’s choices don’t impact you. Try focusing on yourself.
Why are literally all of the AntiChoice people I encounter on twitter also Anti-Vax/Anti-Mask/Anti-Science?
I thought y’all were all about “the science” and anything that “saves lives”…?!? I guess it’s iNcOnVeNiEnT when you have to change your own behaviour…
@nicolita_d
You’re using your situation to advocate against other people having the same right to choose as you enjoyed.
That’s not grieving, that’s pushing an agenda via emotional manipulation.
@wittyyuck
@KatelynTweeter
Why do AntiChoicers want to pretend that the only people who seek abortion are “amoral” & “promiscuous”? Married/long term couples have abortions, wanted pregnancies sometimes end in abortion… your narrative only seeks to slut-shame women while completely ignoring…
@ValerieSouders
@Poppy_yyyyyyyy
Being humiliated & disrespected in front of your friends & family by your new husband isn’t a very nice memory to have of one’s wedding.

@ssbstrongsmart
That’s one of the lamest excuses I’ve come across yet 😂🤣😂
“I love language so I cannot use they as a singular pronoun”
Yet great writers like Shakespeare and Austen did so hundreds of years ago & I reckon they loved language more than you actually do.
Arguably it’s more paternalistic and infantilising to remove reproductive options from pregnant people because you can’t trust us to make our own choices.
@StaceyCKs1
I’ve seen it in restaurants and never gave it consideration but your daughter & your tweets have convinced me that I need to try making this!

My contraception helps me manage my chronic pain condition (endometriosis & adenomyosis) and live a relatively normal life. Explain to me how that’s “bad”….

@Trad_Humanist
You’re grateful that homeschooling left you wholly unprepared for later education? Sounds like you don’t have any postsecondary education. What are you going to do if one day you have to become the one financially supporting your family?
@theatregirl2221
Your mum has lived for 75 years and still hasn’t learned to keep her unsolicited opinions about other people to herself?
If I commented on her facial hair would you expect her to treat me with dignity & respect?
