But she's not allowed control of her own body. But banning abortion is totally not about enforcing control over her honest.

Meanwhile, since Trump wanted personal credit for there being no fatal plane crashes in 2017 he can take full responsibility for that plane that crashed in Texas today.

Indeed they do. They provide a lot of help and education on reproductive health to people of all genders. We're talking birth control, cancer screenings, STIs, prenatal care...

A lot of poor people are gonna be turbofucked without them, and the "Christian" alternatives are notorious for being immensely inadequate and dishonest.


All of which can be done by other medical institutions.

Was referring to something else, was missing context in that regard. With regards to this, however, is not a tangent you want to go on.

And, that often means that women won't get any of those screenings or treatments because they can't afford it. Planned Parenthood offers these things at a somewhat lower cost, and to force them out of Title X, as Trump has effectively done, means that they would either have to raise costs or cut services without a metric tonne of donations.

Yes because unless she is one of the exceedingly few cases of impregnation via rape, she's the one who fucked up. It's weird society is expected to subsidize their behavior and make the consequences of their action less despite their own capacity of reasoning, yet seeking to modify behavior or reduce it is an egregious transgression against it; it's attempting to have it both ways.

For the sake of my (and I assume others) warning history, could y'all take this elsewhere?

To be clear
Very few women get abortions even as a second choice
It’s an expensive and rather horrible experience that women would rather avoid at all costs
I don’t want to meet the woman going “oh yeah don’t worry I’ll just get an abortion”
