I don't understand when someone says "abortion should be rare"...

93. Simmer down, cheif. Do you not see, even a little, how using the "rare" language can be harmful?

The widespread endorsement of “rare” in context of abortion both produces and reproduces stigma. A recent review of mental health and abortion found profound psychological implications of stigma. According to experimental studies stigmatization can create negative cognitions, emotions, and behavioral reactions that can adversely affect social, psychological, and biological functioning. Societal stigma is seen as particularly pernicious because it leads to internalized stigma in which women adopt the negative societal beliefs and stereotypes about themselves.

There have been massive attacks in every state on abortion since 1989. And they are getting worse. And, as such, I feel it's incredibly important to discuss how our language forms our societal beliefs and vice versa.

And, you if you aren't interested in discussing, listening or growing, kindly step away from the conversation rather than being an asshole.

You're the one bullying here. I am trying to discuss.
