No, You Can’t Say You Care About Women And Be Anti-Choice

Let’s get this straight, you “care,” just not about her health, hopes, dreams, or body autonomy?

I was on Reddit and read a relationship thread that was absolutely vile. In it, a woman got pregnant and aborted the fetus. As a result, everyone around her, including her parents, siblings, and partner, stopped talking to her.

Though her family dropped her like a hot rock, she kept insisting that her partner and parents were “super supportive.” This shit breaks my heart because I’ve seen people go through this in real life.

Truthfully, there are few things that will get me as angry as the self-righteous selfishness of people who don’t respect a person’s body autonomy. It’s absolutely disgusting behavior.

What gets me about this is that this poor woman thought her family cared about her. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you can’t care about a woman and be pro-life.

The idea that pro-lifers care about both the woman and the baby is a bald-faced lie.

And frankly, I’m over people being able to dress up pro-life as a “pro-woman and pro-baby” stance. It’s not even a pro-family stance.

Pro-life people are not good people, because they are totally fine with denying people body autonomy. The sooner we start to talk about pro-life people as the anti-woman shitbirds they are, the better.

The anti-choice movement (let’s call it what it really is) only cares about controlling women. If they cared about babies, then they would fund school systems, encourage welfare for moms, and encourage state-run childcare.

If they cared even a little about women, they’d enforce a law forcing doctors to sterilize women who ask for it. They don’t, and in fact, they’re working on reducing birth control access.

But, let’s not even bring pregnancy prevention on the table. Let’s talk about why anti-choicers really, truly don’t give a flying fuck about pregnant women.

To understand why I say this, you have to understand what caring about someone means.

I don’t think most people who are pro-life understand what it means to care about a person other than themselves. Rather, I think they care about what they get out of women. In this case, it’s a baby.

Caring about someone, truly caring about them, means that you:

Care more about their happiness than what you wish they would do. A person who cares will prioritize your preferences, goals, and dreams. Forced pregnancy is considered to be a form of torture according to the Geneva Convention. If someone cares about you, they wouldn’t fucking be okay with torturing you!
Would never prioritize a person who has never even breathed on this planet over the person you care about. For the life of me, I will never understand how so many anti-choicers prioritize the life of the baby over the mom’s life. The same goes for doctors who refuse to sterilize women because of a theoretical man who could come along and want kids. I assume they realize they’re being hypocritical fucktards. I just don’t get why they chose to be OB-GYNs if they hate women so much.
Defend their rights. Yes, that includes the right to dictate what they do to their own body as long as it doesn’t actively physically harm you. Pro-lifers are actively stripping women of their body autonomy.
Wouldn’t browbeat, shun, or emotionally abuse someone over a choice they made over their body. Have you seen how pro-lifers intimidate women going to Planned Parenthood? You cannot, for the life of me, convince me that those people care about the women going in there.
Trust that adults you care about know what they want. An adult is an adult. They pay taxes, they can die in war, and they can choose to be an organ donor. Why the fuck is it that you can choose to be an organ donor or fight a war, but you have to argue for sterilization or abortion?
Prioritize their quality of life. A baby or a pregnancy can be a life-ruiner. This is especially true if the mother is ultra-high-risk or could lose her ability to keep a roof over her head. It’s mighty suspicious that women who give birth are discarded once the pregnancy is over, if pro-lifers “care” so much about them.
Wouldn’t punish someone for asking for the right to control the trajectory of their lives. The fact that pro-lifers are considering the death penalty in some states is very telling. I also find it telling how often women have to be raped or almost dead before pro-lifers choose to give them an abortion.

Ladies, let me offer you some advice.

After reading that Reddit thread, I feel like I need to remind some of my readers about a sad, cold, hard fact about pro-life people: if you are female, you cannot trust a pro-life person.

No, it doesn’t matter who they are. It could be your mom, your husband, your best friend…If they are pro-life, they are not to be trusted under any circumstances. If you’re dating a pro-life man, dump him.

Anti-choice people do not care about women or any birthing person in their midst. They care about you until your choice becomes an inconvenience for them. Then, they will discard you or leave you to rot.

Being anti-choice is a good reason to cut ties with someone. In fact, I’ve done it before. If you can’t do that (say, for family’s sake), never tell them if you are pregnant. They will not be good to you.
