The Bible actually gives instructions on how to induce an abortion, and only Catholocism really has a stance against it.
No, let's not blame God. The true culprit is men, men who want to make being a woman who isn't subservient to men punishable by death. And they don't mind a little friendly fire as long as it keeps the "jezebels" in line.
THIS is why we don't vote third party, we go blue, because pink has to pay the price if we don't.
of course. sure. patriarchy, religion, fascism, captialism, all the usual suspects. anybody that doesn't get it hasn't been paying attention.
but what do we DO ABOUT IT?
Anything at all
really? seems a little less than organized and effective.
Join a protest, start a petition, call congressman, fucking vote...
we been doing that for years. hasn't changed much. what's the next step?
EDIT: protests are 20th century passe' and only affect change if they become violent (see george floyd), petitions are almost a complete waste of time, your congressman definitely isn't listening to you, i still believe voting is effective but not enough (and may soon be nerfed into uselessness)
Did those even change anything, actually? I just remember some statues being torn down and the police just doing their business as usual. They also need to be aimed at the correct targets for them to be effective.
i don't think we'd have mandatory body cams or a real push for reform without them. if it had just been peaceful protests, i think america would have shrugged it off like they do every other protest. if protests don't cause disruption, they usually don't have any effect. on the other hand, it could be argued that the protests have galvanized another portion of americans into being completely opposed to reform.
but of course, that portion of america is the problem and i think they deserve more disruption.
Kay, but still anything at all
