I read another article, this one in CNN, about a Republican Ohio couple who needed an abortion for serious fetal defects & couldn't get one because of Ohio anti-abortion law.

I... have a very hard time feeling any sympathy for folks in that position.

& I know there have been a number of them, conservative couples who've appeared in the news over the past months, where they find themselves needing the very service they voted against.

I don't want to see anyone in a position where they have to abort & can't. And I still just... I don't know. Mostly I find myself thinking: "This is what you asked for with your vote. This is what you wanted. And NOW it's unfair? Because it affects YOU?"

I find myself thinking of every time I've been called a whore, a slut, a baby killer, a murderer, every single foul & vile insult you can think of, called those things by anti-abortion ppl again & again & again. I think of what abortion opponents proclaim to believe about abortion, that it's done by irresponsible leg-spreading sluts who want to fuck anything that moves & then murder their babies in some kind of joy at wanton destruction...

& then I look at these articles that are all about nice white middle-class couples, they're always daycare teachers or healthcare workers or pastors or some shit like that, they're always married & straight & trying hard to have a family or maybe they have kids & want more, they have some kind of job & profile that makes them *the right kind of people* for an abortion to be OK somehow...

It's fucking disgusting.

They asked for this. They fucking ASKED for exactly what they're getting. We fucking TOLD them what would happen, & of course they didn't listen, because they didn't see themselves as murdering irresponsible sluts. Nope, THEIR abortion is OK because Reasons(tm).
