Yep. And if pro-forced birth proponents want to call abortion “murder” I say “no, justified self-defense.” Pregnancy carries a non-trivial risk of death or disability. You have THE RIGHT to use deadly force against one who threatens your life, however unintentionally.

Here in kansas, we have a group called abolitionists rising, they bring big Sandwich board sized signs to clinics and prop them up so that cars can't get past without seeing them. I call the one with the big bloody fetus the magic gummy bear poster. They're also always paddling on about preborn children and how a fetus that is going to be a girl has ovaries and Fallopian tubes at X number of weeks gestation, as if they can't wait to start legislating those too.

Omg, that group is the WORST. Run by men, of course. Love "magic gummy bear" poster ! 😂

Ugh that's disgusting.... They are pedophiles.

Brilliantly succinct, Colleen! Thank you for the wealth of news/data sources. I will be sure to read those later.

I appreciate how you walk straight into the false narratives of the antiabortion propaganda machine as well as pointing out the Democrat's complacency.

While I knew these narratives were b.s., I am, indeed, more prepared to have a fact-based conversation about it, regardless of where the person stands.

Awesome, Abby -- thank you!! And, as always, this is a collaborative project... if you have others (my article would have been 10 pages long if I listed all of 'em - ha!), go ahead and drop them here and how you usually respond! :)
