Somebody Asked People To Share Double Standards They Hate, And 50 Responses Were Spot-On

@Musky: exactly WHO is fighting for "late term" or "partial birth" abortion?? Those two terms are being used repeatedly on Fox News and the like, so they can further enrage, confuse and lie to the mindless drones who watch that drivel. I worked with OB-GYNs when abortion was legal in every state, and late term abortion WAS NOT PERFORMED unless the fetus had died in utero. Partial birth abortion IS NOT A THING - no one is fighting for that, it's just more bull s**t conservative propaganda designed to demonize the people fighting for a woman's RIGHT to choose.

It makes me so frustrated because it’s SO EASY to find this information (that no one is fighting for late-term and partial abortion and they’re being lied to by Republicans). Like it’s so easy to look this information up, but they don’t, they just listen to Fox News and think that makes their opinion valid. Meanwhile, women and children are suffering and dying.l because of their s****y, uneducated opinions. If they really cared about kids, they’d want to know the real truth.

Why can't women take accountability for their decisions. They know the consequences of not using birth control. Everyone knows where and how babies are made. This isn't a political problem it's a moral problem. Abortion is Murder and it's sick that people are ok with it at any stage

What about the child's right to life. Mom decided to have sex and not use some form of birth control so to cover their lack of morals and personal choice they choose to murder an innocent baby. WOMEN ALREADY MADE A CHOICE AND DON'T WANT TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THEIR DECISIONS/CHOICE/ RIGHTS

What about the women who are raped? Did they make a choice? What about a young girl who's the victim of incest? Did she make a choice? Would you force them to carry the pregnancy to term? What about an ectopic pregnancy where the foetus has 0% chance of surviving, but a 100% chance of the mother dying if the pregnancy is not terminated? Why do you anti-abortionists NEVER acknowledge these situations?

Screw all this. What about a woman gets pregnant because she had sex and wasn’t exactly super careful, but she knows she isn’t ready for a child and the dad certainly isn’t going to step up. It’s a billion times better for that group of cells to be aborted than to grow up poor, unwanted, a burden, in the foster system, etc. The ONLY “reason” a woman should need to have an abortion is because that’s what she has decided. Period. It’s literally NO ONE ELSE’S business. Especially not some old a*s rich men in DC who most of which as paid for at least one “under the table” abortion for their mistress. F**k all of that. All of it.

If pro lifers see it as murder then why do they vote in politicians who support their views but who have made their own partners abort? Virtue-signalling hypocrisy at it's finest.

If pro-lifers see it as murder then also why do they keep voting in people who support the death penalty? Even more hypocritical.

I think some people have crossed the line from just "pro-life" protect life at all costs to "anit-abortion" don't get an abortion in any circumstance no matter what.

Then why not draft a law saying taxes can't support it instead of making it completely illegal?

So… do you find it more palatable to pay for an abortion at 250ish dollars or to pay for a child to live a miserable existence in foster care for 18 years? Cause your taxes are paying for it either way. Also, do you honestly think a law on what taxes can and cannot pay for is gonna fly? How many children have you adopted? How many have you fostered? Get all the way the f**k out of here.

Why are people so adamant that their taxes are funding abortions?? Abortions are paid for by the woman's health insurance, or out of pocket at a clinic. There's no taxes involved anywhere.

The problem with that Tyanmar, is that Republicans constantly and consistently attack WIC, Medicare, and SNAP...all programs designed to help women and children. You kill access to abortions in impoverished demographics, then you have MORE people born into poverty.

Because the money is secondary. Saving the baby is primary.

That's their father, not their husband.

@T MB83 not at all. Men get their snips pretty much as soon as they request it. Women (in a couple states) need their husbands permission, or they're told to 'think about your future husband. what if he wants kids? You're denied." It's repulsive. Don't get me started on the entire encyclopedia of women getting medically gaslit on EVERYTHING. Too many of us have almost died (or have died) due to the all too well known (and loathed) "It's all in your head." "It's normal." "You're just getting old/not enough sleep/your weight." Meanwhile the woman has cancer or severe endometriosis. But yanno. It's all in our heads/perfectly normal. What's just as gross is that many female gyno's and doctors say the same bs to women patients. You'd THINK they'd know better. Many times decades go by before the woman finally gets a dr to listen to her and do tests.

Not to even mention the fact that 99% of insurances require you to have at least 1 child and/or be over 35 years old to have your tubes tied or out. This is a separate issue from the husbands permission. It’s insane. Also ladies- please opt to have your tubes completely removed instead of tied if you are done having babies. It reduces your risk of ovarian cancer by 60% and the surgery is no different.

I would suspect, however, that you did not need a female partner to sign off on her permission before you could have your vasectomy.

My wife and I were both sitting there when the questions were asked. I don't remember if her input was specifically requested, but I'm sure she wasn't purposely excluded from the discussion.

Not Papa's point. It's way easier for a man to get a vasectomy than for a woman to get her tubes tied, we all agree on that. The "without any questions" is an unnecessary exaggeration that detracts from the main point being made. I was asked questions, and the doctor made some effort to get me to reconsider. I get the feeling if I was younger, single or childless, I might have been turned away (but obv I can't know for sure). It wasn't as difficult as women's experiences but it also wasn't no questions asked.

You would not have been turned away and you would not have been denied by insurance. Full stop.

That's a huge assumption. Having gone through the vasectomy and the questions beforehand, I don't have complete confidence that your assumption is correct. Maybe you're right, but maybe you're wrong. We can't know what would have happened if my circumstances were different.
