i feel like people really don’t appreciate the full extent of how dangerous the pro-life movement really is. Like go look at the wikipedia page for anti-abortion violence, they’re not above just straight-up murdering people in broad daylight, in their homes, in their churches in front of their families. They’re not above bombings.

Where I used to live, Pensacola, Florida, the only clinic in town that provided abortion was bombed twice. A doctor who worked there was murdered, and the doctor who came in to replace him was murdered along with his armed bodyguard. The whole time this was going on, protesters were allowed to demonstrate outside the building this whole time. They were allowed to do this after two bombings, a break-in, and three murders in broad daylight. In other words, the city was pretty much complicit in it. 

Bill O’Reilly railed against Dr. George Tiller on 28 different episodes of his show, calling him a baby murderer on national television until a pro-lifer murdered Dr. Tiller while he was at fucking church. The killer went to prison, but Bill O’Reilly was so obviously guilty of incitement but nothing happened. 

These people view abortion as literally equal to infanticide and I do believe that 99% of pro-lifers, in one way or another, whether they would say it in public or not, believe that murder is justified to prevent women from having access to abortions. 99% of them believe women should be punished for seeking or for having had abortions. The journalist Kevin D. Williamson got fired from the New York Times for tweeting that women who’ve had abortions should be hanged, but really he’s just a rare example of a pro-lifer being completely honest about what he really believes. 

Why treat the pro-life movement as any different from any fascists, neo-nazis, or reactionaries? Their goals, the vision of society they’re working towards building, and the means by which they plan to achieve it certainly aren’t very different!

Listen. Cut your own hair. Dye it blue, then shave it off when you’re bored of it. Wear that outfit with those shoes. Paint your nails with all the colors of the rainbow. Get that tattoo. Go to the movies alone. Get coffee, then drink it at that special place you like. Mouth the words of the song you’re listening to on public transport. Put that thing on your wall. Bake. Draw. Dance in your underwear. Life is so much better when you don’t give a fuck
