Here is a collection of the best pro-choice tweets and memes posted around the internet in response to the news that the USA’s Supreme Court may overturn Roe v. Wade. Should this happen, many states will immediately ban abortion, which will remove vital healthcare options from women, remove women’s rights, and straight up punish women. Here are examples of Women Being Punished For Losing Their Babies despite Roe v. Wade, so we already know it will happen. Here are some of the best responses:
And this copypasta has been going around facebook:
I’m not pro-murdering babies.
I’m pro-Becky who found out at her 20 week anatomy scan that the infant she had been so excited to bring into this world had developed without life sustaining organs.
I’m pro-Susan who was sexually assaulted on her way home from work, only to come to the horrific realization that her assailant planted his seed in her when she got a positive pregnancy test result a month later.
I’m pro-Theresa who hemorrhaged due to a placental abruption, causing her parents, spouse, and children to have to make the impossible decision on whether to save her or her unborn child.
I’m pro-little Cathy who had her innocence ripped away from her by someone she should have been able to trust and her 11 year old body isn’t mature enough to bear the consequence of that betrayal.
I’m pro-Melissa who’s working two jobs just to make ends meet and has to choose between bringing another child into poverty or feeding the children she already has because her spouse walked out on her.
I’m pro-Brittany who realizes that she is in no way financially, emotionally, or physically able to raise a child.
I’m pro-Emily who went through IVF, ending up with SIX viable implanted eggs requiring selective reduction in order to ensure the safety of her and a SAFE amount of fetuses.
I’m pro-Christina who doesn’t want to be a mother, but birth control methods sometimes fail.
I’m pro-Jessica who is FINALLY getting the strength to get away from her physically abusive spouse only to find out that she is carrying the monster’s child.
I’m pro-Vanessa who went into her confirmation appointment after YEARS of trying to conceive only to hear silence where there should be a heartbeat.
I’m pro-Lindsay who lost her virginity in her sophomore year with a broken condom and now has to choose whether to be a teenage mom or just a teenager.
I’m pro-Courtney who just found out she’s already 13 weeks along, but the egg never made it out of her fallopian tube so either she terminates the pregnancy or risks dying from internal bleeding.
You can argue and say that I’m pro-choice all you want, but the truth is:
I’m pro-life.
Their lives.
Women’s lives.
You don’t get to pick and choose which scenarios should be accepted.
Women’s rights are meant to protect ALL women, regardless of their situation!
What do you think of these pro-choice posts? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below! (Forced birthers not invited. Bye Felicia.)
As a Brit living in England, this is just so ‘not an issue’ (apart from a few extremists on the fringe). What is that makes conservative US politicians so anti-abortion? Guessing it is to do with the power the church to lead voters by the nose to support whoever they say?
My hypothesis is that the only way these insane conservatives can reproduce is by rape and forcing their victim/relative to have their insane offspring. But of course, with none of the responsibility.
I have to agree with the comment from the British person, it has to be about power amd control ,nothing rational here, why do old white guys care so much about women’s bodies?
Because it is a sneaky way to adjust the American amendments regarding privacy.
Nice
Speaking as a white, middle-aged, male in their 50’s, we should have the innalienble right to comment on the reproductive choices of any and all women after the FIRST of us have died in childbirth.
Until then however, sit down and shut the fuck up butt-munch because you’re embarrassing the rest of us.
