Women in the US (and elsewhere!) have gotten really tired of being treated like objects. The abortion is murder bullshit doesn't take at all into account the selectivity of the human pregnancy process or that criminalizing abortions doesn't reduce abortions. Though it will reduce safe abortions and it will feed more people into the US prison industrial complex. Already the US has more inmates than any other nation in the world, either total or per capita. Including China and the DPRK.

Announcing on this thread that you believe abortion is murder (even implicitly) is a fast track to getting blocked by me. You don't want to be in my feed? Now's your chance!

I don't expect to change your mind. Here in the states, the government is already challenging a woman's bodily autonomy. They're already second class citizens.

If you like kids, and think there should be more of them in the States, then push for free school lunches.

Push for shorter hours and better wages for workers (my parents were tired and unavailable for my entire life, and this absolutely figures into my lifelong major depression).

Push for healthcare for children.

Push for living salaries and proper supplies for teachers.

Push for teaching curricula that will prepare kids to lead in redefining society for themselves, rather than shoving them into a worker or soldier die to be used, broken and expended for some billionaire's vanity project. Demonstrate that an unborn baby is more to you than the next broken Amazon warehouse worker.

Push for getting law enforcement violence out of schools. Demonstrate that an unborn black kid is more to you than the next convict forced to work for their time (prison slavery, which is still legal in the US) denied any other opportunity except below-subsistence work...as an Amazon warehouse worker.

Push for fucking crisis response to the climate crisis and the plastic crisis. Pretend that you actually care there will be future generations wondering what the fuck you were doing.

Until you care about actual kids and the adults who might raise them, then I figure you really don't give any fucks about unborn life either, except as a means to virtue signal your white Christian national brethren, or worse you're a capitalist who only cares about infants as product, and then people as factory machines in the production line. Human capital.
