Abortion

Mar. 9th, 2011 03:55 am
I've posted on this before, but for those who are new, my position is this:

A woman's body is HERS.  If she feels like fucking the NFL, the NBA and the NHL in alphabetical order (so long as she is not actively spreading diseases because then it's a public health hazard, something with which I wound take issue) she has a right to do so.

I do not tolerate any form of slut-shaming in my journal.  If you think that women shouldn't be allowed to have abortions, regardless of their reasons, we're going to disagree.  In other words, the following arguments aren't welcome here:
Cut for length. )

I'm a woman with a functioning uterus.  I have a right to do whatever the fuck I please with that uterus.  If you disagree, that's fine, but I don't want to hear about it.  My body is mine.  You do what you want with your body and I'll do what I want with mine. 

If you watch nothing else today, please watch this.  The statistics listed are staggering.

If you are in the US, there is the Haven Coalition, which is a network of volunteers who provide a meal and a safe place to sleep for women who are forced to travel to New York City for second-trimester abortions

If you're in the UK, The Abortion Support Network provides similar help for women who are unable to obtain abortions at all in Ireland.

Thank you for your support of the rights of women to do what is best for them and their bodies.   

ETA: Thank you to [livejournal.com profile] darkfireangel who told me about Fund Abortion Now, which helps women to find a local abortion and depending upon the income of the woman involved, may partially pay for it.
