Anti-abortion rhetoric about "protecting women" creates the assumption that women are inherently reactionary, incapable of sound decisionmaking, and so endangered by their own choices as to require third-party protection. www.reprotruth.com/p/infantiliz...

To all those who bear the sadness of involuntary childlessness: I see you. You are not invisible. Your pain and your grief are real, valid, and important. You are not alone. #WorldChildlessWeek www.reprotruth.com/p/world-chil...
Involuntary childlessness brings with it pain and grief too deep to put into words. It is sharp, isolating, and othering, and it effects everything from mental health to interpersonal relationships with friends and family, to one’s sense of identity and self-worth.

Millions suffer this pain in silence.

'A woman, the unstated logic goes, [is] not a full human being, not in charge of her own destiny, which is what the law says in the states that bar abortion. A dynamic which weighs the rights of the actual human woman and the fertilized egg & decides the egg is calling the shots' +1
Maybe we need to pass a law conferring personhood onto women
Abortion rises steadily as its foes offer fetuses the protections they snatch from women.

⭐️ Important information to remember: 👇👇👇 www.reprotruth.com/p/breaking-c...
Neither mifepristone nor misoprostol is toxic to a fetus.
Mifepristone blocks progesterone. Misoprostol induces contractions (labor). Both drugs act upon the pregnant person’s own body.

The drugs are used in a two-drug regimen to empty the uterus via inducing labor and delivery.

Early in pregnancy, this is referred to as medication abortion.

At term, to kick start live birth, this is referred to as induction of labor. — Because, again, neither drug is toxic to a fetus.

In both cases, contractions empty the uterus.
