In Iran, women are fighting against theocrats who enforce hijab by burning shit down, including their hijab.

In the U.S., what are the women fighting against theocrats who enforce abortion bans doing?

It is #InternationalSafeAbortionDay. Where is your feminist revolution?
It’s imperative to understand that the theocrats who look like you and those who don’t both follow the same rule book: control desire and control our bodies. More simply: Control.

Enforced hijab.

Enforced pregnancy.

The patriarchy atop theocracy melange of Iran’s “morality police” is easier to see because it is so visibly expressed in enforced hijab.

But what is the enforced pregnancy of the Christian zealots in the U.S. but a melange of patriarchy built atop theocracy right here?

September 28 is #SafeAbortionDay. Last year, for that day and in solidarity with the right to safe and accessible abortion for all, I finally wrote about my "illegal" abortion in Egypt in 1996 and my "legal" abortion in the U.S. in 2000

I use inverted commas because I reject the State’s attempt to control my uterus. I reject its power to declare what is “legal” or “illegal” when it comes to my abortions. The State can fuck off with its opinions about what I can/can’t do with my uterus. That control belongs to me
I was not raped. I was not sick. The pregnancies did not threaten my life. I did not already have children. I just did not want to be pregnant. I did not want to have a child.

I am glad I had my abortions. They gave me the freedom to live the life I have chosen. Mona holding a sign saying "I have had two abortions.&q

So inkompetent, das braucht Screenshots.



Man beachte bitte, Sie startet damit, gegen Abtreibungsgegner zu argumentieren, die Abtreibung ab Nidation verbieten wollen.

Mal abgesehen davon, dass das gar nicht so viele sind (die wirklich strikten sind halt
auch gegen Pille danach, und insbesondere Kupferspirale) sind die Argumente a bis d ganz ok, wenn man bedenkt, dass es gegen Abtreibungsgegner geht, die Verbot ab Nidation wollen.

e ist natürlich das absolut zwingende und eigentlich nie belegte AdHominem, das für prochoice
einfach dazugehört.

Aber dann der Schluss:
"Im 21. Jahrhundert sollte es vollkommen normal sein, dass Frauen selbstbestimmt über ihren Körper entscheiden dürfen und freien Zugang zu Fachinformationen kriegen. Alte Männer in Röcken, die sich an Kindern vergehen, haben da nix

Today is #SafeAbortionDay. This is the first year that I have been able to say: I have had two abortions. I am glad I had my abortions. They gave me the freedom to live the life I have chosen. #Sept28 #AbortionIsNormal #AbortionIsHealthcare
I was not raped. I was not sick. The pregnancies did not threaten my life. I did not already have children. I just did not want to be pregnant.

Criminalizing abortion does not eradicate it nor does it make it rare. It makes it dangerous and often deadly for the poorest and most vulnerable people who can get pregnant.

“In the mid-1960s, I was a young NHS houseman in London specializing in obstetrics. One day I was called to A&E / ER to see a young woman who was bleeding...”

#AbortionBan #Texas #SanMarino
On Sunday, #SanMarino joined 50+ countries that have improved access to abortion in the past 25 years

It was decriminalised in South Korea (2021), Argentina (2020), Ireland (2019)

But other places - e.g. #Poland & #Texas - are swimming against the tide.
Women & girls pay a high price for restrictions on abortion. They pay with their health, their well-being & even with their lives

Last January, abortion in #Poland - already only available to women in extreme circumstances - was further restricted.
