Hillary - Here are the facts: People have always had and will always have abortions in all 50 states.

[Swede]

What a fine President she would have been.

Here are the facts: People have always had and will always have abortions in all 50 states.

Abortion pills are safe, effective, and have been used by millions of people.

No court or politician can change either of those realities.

1. Not people Hillary. Women. Women have always had and will always have

abortions in all 50 states.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

3. Are women not people? People who aren't women also get abortions.

[Autumn]

4. Only women are impacted by abortion or the lack of safe abortions. It's not a people thing.

To quote John Lennon. "Only women bleed."

[WhiskeyGrinder]

5. I can assure you men and nonbinary people also get abortions.

ETA: also, "Only Women Bleed" was an Alice Cooper song about intimate partner violence

[Autumn]

6. I can assure you no man has ever had an abortion. Men may be a bystander in a woman's abortion

but no male has ever had an abortion.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

9. Having helped men and nonbinary people get abortions, I feel sorry that you live in such a narrow world.

[LearnedHand]

20. Categorically untrue

Trans men and nonbinary people also get abortions. You’re close to violating DU’s anti-bigotry rules here.

7. Do you think anyone reading this

doesn't know exactly what she is saying?

11. JK Rowling? nt

14. This is why Democrats don't win.

Because there's always someone who has to fight over the miniscule details. Pick apart every letter and syllable. We can't ever just unite behind a sentiment.

Did you not KNOW what she meant? The English language is not always perfect.

I apologize, but I am very protective of Hillary. I truly believe she is the smartest person on the planet.

[QueerDuck]

17. Oh, ffs. 🙄

2. The GOP doesn't believe in facts. nt

8. My Favorite Abortion

This week, U.S. Rep. Brandon Gill asked an understandably confused American University scholar to name her “favorite type of abortion.” Law professor Jessica Waters went before a House Judiciary subcommittee to talk about the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act; instead, she was questioned by a visibly pleased with himself Texas lawmaker who clearly crafted his question to be a viral social media moment.

When you see Rep. Gill’s shit-eating grin, you’ll know exactly who he is.

Since Rep. Gill is so interested in our favorite types of abortions, I thought I’d share a few of mine.

My favorite type of abortion is the one that prevents a raped ten-year-old from breaking her pelvis in childbirth.

I also like abortions that keep women from carrying dead fetuses for weeks on end, which is what happened to Marlena Stell in Rep. Gill’s home state of Texas.

My favorite abortions are the kind that stop women from going septic, or prevent 28-year-olds from losing both of their fallopian tubes.

Another favorite? The abortion that means a Texas 21-year-old won’t be forced to carry a fetus developing without a head.

I like the abortion that means a pregnant mother of five with cervical cancer doesn’t have to beg a hospital panel for chemotherapy.

I like the abortion that doesn’t force a woman to travel far from home when faced with a fatal fetal abnormality.

I really like the abortion that stops patients from having to plead for help in videos made in hospital parking lots.

21. I think the answer is easier

No one likes abortion. It means something went wrong. Regardless of the reason, many people need to have an abortion, which is why it needs to be legal and accessible.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

22. People do, in fact, like abortion. It's a solution that works for them.

[niyad]

10. Thank you Madame President.

[appleannie1]

12. I am in my eighties. Abortion was never legal when I was single and birth control was hit or miss.

I honestly believe there were a lot more abortions back then than there have been since abortion was made legal. The main problem besides not being safe is illegal abortions cost cash, a commodity poorer people don't have. That forces women without money to use self-inflicted methods. The jackasses in the GOP are too dumb to realize what a can of worms they just opened but they don't give a crap. Lording over women makes them feel manly.

[FakeNoose]

13. Also young women who needed abortions and couldn't get them safely

There were no pills then, they had to undergo surgery with unsafe conditions. It was a terrible time before the Roe v. Wade ruling, and many girls/women died as a result.

[mopinko]

19. and public hospitals had abortion wards,

filled w women who developed sepsis, or who’s abortion was incomplete, and needed a d&c.
didnt have them in private hospitals, esp catholic 1s.
the 1 in cook co hospital was notorious for the stench. i’m sure most were.

[Ilsa]

15. I've heard that abortions are on the increase

over the last ten years. I'm guessing that women can't get access to birth control because of closed clinics. I haven't checked to see if rape statistics are up. And I suspect the unsteady economy has people wondering if they shod delay having kids or simply avoid it.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

16. Part of it's the economy, but it's more because the abortion pill protocol makes it easier to end a pregnancy,

especially in places where it's hard to get to a clinic.

[efhmc]

18. But this is not about reality, it is about the control of women. Other methods have been used and have killed women.
