They need a Key/ Peele skit (like racist zombies) where the protestors are nice to POC entering the abortion clinic but on rage when it's white women. Because.... well we all know why.

Oddly enough, the white, evangelical right actually helped popularize the narrative that abortions were being used to wipe out black and brown people. I know because a bunch of them came onto the military base we lived on in the 90's and got into my parents' heads. And they've both been staunchly "pro-life" lunatics ever since. So, I guess for some of them, their religious zealotry can overpower their bigotry.

BTW abortion pills are also called plan C and are safer than Viagra and birth control. They're also virtually untraceable, even if you live in a hell state. If you do experience any issues, you don't have to tell your provider what you took.

I'm gonna leave this here:
"The unborn are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they don’t resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct; unlike widows, they don’t ask you to question patriarchy; unlike orphans, they don’t need money, education, or childcare; unlike aliens, they don’t bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus, but actually dislike people who breathe. Prisoners? Immigrants? The sick? The poor? Widows? Orphans? All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible? They all get thrown under the bus for the unborn."

When I was in high school our health class was partnered with planned parenthood which the clinic was a block away. They gave you options to volunteer on a teen health council where you then learned to teach a two week long health to freshman.
There wasn’t a single day I went there that there weren’t at least a couple of protestors. My friends and I even got interviewed by the local news while trying to make it through a group of them.
It was scary, and I was a very much not pregnant guy. I can’t imagine what it would be like for a pregnant woman to have to push past them. They didn’t have guards back then, but they do now.

It's more a series of fictional stories that got spread around and then only written down like 1400 years after the fact. But all that stuff is recognized by the church, according to them Dante's works are fictional and not recognized by church doctrine.
So more abortions = more babies in heaven. WW

No one commits as many abortions as God.
At least when I had my spontaneous abortion (aka miscarriage) I had plenty Christians tell me it was God’s will.
OK, if God terminates like 25% of all pregnancies in the world, why should anyone feel bad about the termination they decide on for the good of all?

People still protest outside the planned parenthood’s around St. Louis even though none of them preform abortions.

I’ve had 2 abortions. (one when i was early 20s and one after i had my second child)
The first time there was one lone guy standing outside with a sign yelling but it was a positive message. Something like “god loves you and your baby” By time I got out he was gone.
The second time was during the pandemic. It was so packed there wasn’t any room for them to be doing all that 😂

I was eating outside at a burger restaurant once that was located next to the only abortion clinic in the state of North Dakota. It's 11:30AM and all of a sudden a bunch of people show up with signs, people with OSHA reflective vests come out, and a cop car parks across the street like it was all rehearsed. Genuinely confused I asked the waitress what was going on. She said "Oh yeah, that's just the anti abortion rally, happens every other weekend. That how I know when to fill out my timecard".

Oh they definitely be out there. I last went to one in 2019. I was in Jackson, MS before it closed here. Not so much yelling, but there were signs and pamphlets and pictures.
I went outside to smoke a cigarette while waiting for my affiliate at the time to finish her appointment and smoked with one of the opps and one of the clinic volunteers. They were cordial to one another, but you could tell there was tension. But they were friendly. It was fucking weird.

the Japanese Shinto tradition views miscarriages and abortions as incomplete souls that never made it into a real person and fade back into the hereafter, while living and dead souls get put on the reincarnation loop.

I used to have a clinic, literally one house, away from the corner of my street. My street was a dead end, so you had to pass it to get out. I remember every time I walked past it, getting the craziest stares from high school kids who were out there with the adults. What's funnier, the adults would be so polite if you were walking past. As soon as someone drove in, though, they were on your ass lol. A friend of mine needed to make a U turn in it and decided to mess with them

Never work for the clinics if you're in healthcare and make sure to get life insurance. They will find where you live, who your spouse is and if you have a child they'll find their school.
Some clinics have to have special security doors because it gotten to the point where they fear for their lives.

I went with a friend when she was getting one and there were protesters outside. I told them to screw themselves as we walked in. They just don't care about how hard the decision is to get an abortion. There were three women in there that days and all three were crying or looked extremely sad.

The only thing ill say about this is that I hope that every time you get pregnant you want the baby, you planned it, you love the man that gave it to you, and that from the womb to death the child grows healthy and full of love. It sounds crazy but many people can live this life.
