If an abortion doesn’t affect you, why do people make it a big deal?

If an abortion doesn’t affect you, why do people make it a big deal?

History has repeatedly shown that you do not give these assholes an inch. Ever. Not ever. Under any circumstances. Ever.

No, sodomy laws are not some abstract, victimless, mostly-unenforced statute that just “reflects local community values.” And, of course, their buddies on the court have been dog whistling a willingness to “revisit” Lawrence ever since the court struck it.

First, something doesn’t need to benefit me individually in order for it to be the right thing to do.

What thing happened to you as a child that you haven’t let go of to this day?

Second, while it’s true that not every instance of a possible slippery slope is, by itself, evidence that a slippery slope is occurring, it is nevertheless unavoidable that christian nationalism is a for real, no-fucking-around threat to my personal wellbeing.

You fight back against them every single time they encroach on the bodily autonomy of anyone, because if they can get away with doing it to women, they can, and have gotten away with doing it to gay people, to forced sterilizations of black people, and disabled people, to anyone and everyone they consider undesirable.

Within my lifetime these assholes have made consensual sex between me and my husband a crime that would have landed either one of us on a sex offender registry.

You do not concede even an inch to these assholes. Ever. Under any circumstances.

They absolutely will criminalize my own bodily autonomy, if they can get away with it. I know this, because within my lifetime they have. So you fight back against every single encroachment on somebody else’s autonomy every single time it occurs.

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?
