The opinion you expressed is something I see quite often. A lot of people share this view. My question to you is, why do 'they' want to punish, oppress, etc women? What do they gain from that?
It's never made sense to me but then again I haven't looked into it.

For some reason, conservatives are generally dedicated to a power structure which puts some people over others: this usually includes patriarchy. A woman or girl in this view exists only to obey rules subjugating them to men, and their reproductive rights are limited to what men want from them.
A woman or girl who gets pregnant, in their mind, is now bound to incubate and raise the child in service of the patriarchy. If she was raped? Well, doesn't matter, a man was taking what belongs to him, the woman doesn't have the right to refuse.
The pregnancy is ectopic? Who cares, she's barely human, some other woman or girl will have to take her place after she dies in agony. As she is dying, she can take some pleasure in thinking of the children she bore and will leave behind, which will make her slightly more memorable to her widower.
Women have been dying in childbirth for millions of years; in a conservative's mind, that is how God ordered the world. Giving them modern medical care is a luxury, better spent giving the patriarch treatment for ED or whatever else he needs to keep himself alive and fertilizing brood mares.

To add, they're often hypocritical. If it's their own loved ones or a member of their in-group the abortion is acceptable/moral. Ya know, The Only Moral Abortion is My Abortion. Even worse, the hypocrisy is pretty much a feature due to in-group loyalty (and purity/sanctity to a lesser extent) being a significant moral foundation. They will see themselves (or their in-group) as good righteous people who need an abortion while others/out-groups are bad people who use abortion as "birth control".

Well, I asked my aunt, who is religious and staunchly anti-abortion (despite having gotten one herself in her younger years), if she felt that women with unwanted pregnancies should be "punished" by being refused abortions.
She said yes. It's a consequence for having sex. If you didn't want to be pregnant, you shouldn't have had sex (or been raped, apparently). So there are people out there who really do feel this way, even if all they get out of it is a sense of "justice" for punishing a perceived sin.
In my aunt's defense, she also believes the unborn fetus is the same as a child, and I think she feels guilt over aborting her own pregnancy in the past. So her beliefs are at least nuanced in that way. But I couldn't get her to understand that saddling a child with the weight of being unwanted, and a punishment to their parents of all things, is unbelievably cruel. And she didn't care to hear about how high the abuse rate is in homes with unwanted children, or in foster homes. Or how overburdened the adoption system is.

Your aunt, like many anti-choice zealots, seems to believe that the only women who seek abortions are "loose" single women who have casual sex with multiple men. I wish someone would bonk these people over the head with the FACT that a very large percentage of women seeking pregnancy termination are in long term monogamous relationships, many in fact married, and most have children at home. Do these people really believe that married couples should stop having sex after the two (or whatever) children that they can afford are born???

There’s two groups in modern conservatism, one is motivated by money and the other is motivated by money and religious extremism. To these ends, maintaining a large enough unemployed population that is reinforced by low-income births helps suppress the cost of labor, and if they have to let the religious people marry a middle schooler here and there to guarantee the vote, so be it.
In the end, the thing that they presume to gain from the heinous shit they do is money 90% of the time, stupidity, error, and religious fervor account for the rest.
Fascists aren’t obliged to make sense to an outside observer.

The problem is that people can inform themselves in many ways other than posting comments on Reddit threads. It's a basic civic responsibility to inform yourself, not just lazily ask Redditors to do it for you.

State owned oil company in Jihadistan contracts to buy drilling equipment. One line in the contract specifies the equipment is F.O.B. City of Mohammed, Jihadistan.
“F.O.B.” is a term meaning that supplier is responsible for shipping and customs duties to the specified point, customer is responsible for shipping and customs duties from that point onward. Jihadistan law requires that any entity importing goods must provide a certificate stating that none of the material, equipment, or labour used to produce the goods was obtained from the jews illegally occupying Palestine (term in Jihadistan law for what the rest of the world calls “Israel”). Pretty hard for an American company to sell the equipment while being in compliance with the law prohibiting boycott of Israel.
Also, a ban on boycotting Israel is hypocritical considering the mandatory boycott of Cuba. I believe it was in the 1980s that Ford of Canada had signed a deal to sell trucks to Cuba when Washington leaned on head office in Detroit to order Ford of Canada to tear up the deal.

I've found that even in states where it is legal, a lot of people are woefully uninformed about what abortion is and how to get one. Up to 12 weeks of pregnancy, an abortion can be done safely, easily and securely, with pills, at home with no need for a clinician (although a prescription is needed to get the pills by mail). At 12 weeks, a visit to a clinic is recommended.
As a matter of public service, I'll leave these two links here. The first is an informational guide about abortion. https://abortionpillinfo.org/
The second is a website on how to get abortion pills. https://www.plancpills.org/
EDIT: ALSO, Plan B is available OTC, and online on Amazon, and is good for 72 hours after a sexual encounter. It has been wildly effective in lowering both unexpected pregnancies and abortion rates. A pill expires in 1.5 years so don't hoard them, but it's good to keep some on hand for yourself or people you love.

I think it is important to note as well for anybody who has personal reservations about abortion that Plan B IS NOT an abortion. It prevents a pregnancy from ever occurring. It is an emergency contraceptive, NOT an abortion.

If you or a partner are capable of getting pregnant, familiarize yourself with where to get Plan B near you before you need it, especially if you’ll want to find the most discreet place without the time pressure. For instance, my university’s student union has a medicine vending machine that has plan B in it.
Edit: and be aware that above a certain weight/BMI cutoff it will be less effective. I believe I’ve heard that some brands work better for bigger folks, but that is 100% hearsay so please fact check me and have a plan for what med you should look out for before you ever need to.
furbylicious t1_jax64g8 wrote
Another thing I want to point out is to spread this information! A lot of the dangers and heartache of unexpected pregnancy can be avoided with preparation and timely action. Many people simply don't know emergency contraception like Plan B is an option, and they don't know how to talk about pregnancy or abortion. And that often falls on families.
Parents, your kids should be *comfortable* telling you if they are worried they might be pregnant. Whatever your house rules on sexuality may be, your kid should prioritize getting help from you over worrying about having fucked up. Talk to your kids about this stuff, it will keep them safer.

Couple caveats about Plan B:
Although it’s listed as being effective if taken up to 72 hours after intercourse, the further along you are in that window when you take it the less effective it is. That’s because it has inhibits ovulation - if the egg has already been released, it won’t work. That’s why it’s important to have it on hand.
It also has a weight limit. For women over that limit, it is significantly less effective. Given America’s obesity epidemic, that’s something worth knowing.

Abortions in a case that would save a mothers life from potential certain death during an abnormal pregnancy? Sure have one. Get raped by some scumbag? Abort away. Be an irresponsible adult and skip the dozens of optional steps to avoid getting pregnant in the first place? That's your problem. A self created problem. How the fuck does this make me a "neckbeard" for telling people to take responsibility for their own actions? Being a fucking adult is the antithesis of being some whiny (wo)manchild begging the government to save them from their own stupidity.
The issue is also not black and white despite constantly being argued in such a manner. I'm not some republican "lololol save their lives in the womb let them die outside the womb lololol keep healthcare shit". Yeah we need better healthcare too. Because I actually do care about people living and getting a chance to experience life to the fullest. Such a shocking, selfish, and brutal opinion to have I guess.

Fetuses can develop anomalies and not be compatible with life outside the womb---today, there are women with those fetuses who cannot get an abortion they need because of laws you people passed.
You aren't showing "human empathy", you are showing the opposite: an inability to understand what kind of health care women and girls need. I don't know why you care about some women getting abortions, but it is not your business.

They work at Subway making sandwiches, but we are supposed to look to them for moral approval.

Actually my own mother agrees. Continue to be wrong more please. All I see is someone projecting their bullshit onto me, since my "opinion" was more or less based in facts.
People would be breaking the law, and you don't just accidentally fall on a dick and get knocked up. It's sort of an involved process. With several....SEVERAL... (optional) steps that can prevent said pregnancy from ever starting in the first place. This isn't like getting some random illness you never saw coming.
Also I'm very reasonable if you ever bothered to ask instead of skipping to some shitty baseless insult. Abortions in a case that would save a mothers life from potential certain death during an abnormal pregnancy? Sure have one. Get raped by some scumbag? Abort away. Be an irresponsible adult and skip the dozens of optional steps to avoid getting pregnant in the first place? That's your problem. A self created problem.
The issue is not black and white. And I'm not some republican "lololol save their lives in the womb let them die outside the womb lololol keep healthcare shit". Yeah we need better healthcare too. Because I actually do care about people living and getting a chance to experience life to the fullest. Such a shocking, selfish, and brutal opinion to have I guess.

No woman or girl should need your approval for an abortion. It is none of your business what health care they need and receive. And you fucking work at Subway making sandwiches---what kind of qualification is that?

No you don't. You and your laws are going to kill women and girls. You are going to kill mothers who leave living children behind. All because you have a twisted idea about whether they met your incel idea of responsibility.
Killing women and girls because of your own theoretical beliefs is indeed "shocking, selfish, and brutal". That is the result of your belief, even if your mom tells you otherwise.

Tell me you know nothing about women and girls who need abortions without telling me.
Many women with pregnancies they wanted to have and wanted to carry to term need abortions to save their life. Girls who had no choice need abortions, too.
Their blood is on your hands, with your incel "abortion is for dumb sluts, huh huh huh" attitude.

Point out the part where I was pro banning abortions that saved lives? Obviously exceptions exist. Project your own incel baggage on someone else.

I am the opposite of incel, I have a wife and daughter who need health care.
"Exceptions" in these laws do not work. Doctors cannot be sure that a prosecutor and jury will agree that a woman's life was actually in danger. Because these laws make abortion a crime by default. A doctor who uses the exception can still be put on trial and risk his or her license to practice and jail if someone disagrees about the risk in a court room a year later.
The only reason they put these "exceptions" in the law is to allow people like you to pretend they exist. Doctors stop performing abortions. Women with dead babies inside don't get abortions any more, because they aren't in the emergency room, and by the time they are, it is probably too late. Women with ectopic pregnancies die because the medicines aren't available in their state, or now they need a fallopian tube removed (possibly making them sterile) because the pill they could take is illegal to prescribe or dispense.
Abortion is health care for women and girls. I want them to get that care and you don't. Mine is the moral position, because I care about the women and girls who need it. Yours is the immoral position that they aren't allowed the health care they need.

Is "news" really just telling us publicly displayed information now?

Ha! Now let's watch as those states start trampling the first amendment because potential humans are more important to them than actual living women.
