and pro-lifers THERE CAN BE NO MIDDLE GROUND, because THEY WILL ACCEPT NONE.
I believe the moment where pro-lifers completely lost me was when I realized they were redefining the most reliable contraceptives as being abortifacients.
It wasnt enough for them to lie to teenagers about how condoms dont work against either STDs or pregnancy, they had to start lying to everyone about The Pill and IUDs and such. I used The Pill for 5 years and after I had my 2 kids I used an IUD for another 4 years. Who knew I was aborting a baby every month?
Oh, and never ever forget the conscience clauses emanating from the US Congress: any pharmacist can refuse to fill your prescription for contraceptives or Plan B, any hospital can withhold information about Plan B from rape victims, any medical provider well, because God.
As I said in my other post: I wasted years of my life trying to compassionately understand their point of view. Then I realized: there is no middle ground. They dont believe in middle ground. Theyd rather see me or any other woman DEAD.
