THREAD: What does it matter if a committed group of sexists lies about abortion and keeps shaming and tricking people who need reproductive health care?
#BadFaithMedicine
First and foremost, it's a travesty for patients seeking abortions that a group of people buying medicine coats at the costume shop is lying to them and trying to run out the clock so they can't get the care they seek.
#BadFaithMedicine
Anti-abortion fake clinics are the core operating infrastructure of the anti-abortion movement. They operate throughout the country, mainly unchecked, and too often receiving taxpayer funds that should be going to REAL, fact-based, shame-free social services.
#BadFaithMedicine
I'm all about free diapers but free diapers ain't free if they come with requirements to complete religious classes, or sign contracts or pledges about future sexual behavior or sexual health needs.
Also, if they're donated, why do they need tax dollars?!
#BadFaithMedicine
Next up, unacknowledged medical experiments without consent of the patient. Anti-abortion fake clinics are peddling idea they made up of so-called "abortion pill reversal." But no one knows if it's safe. They just, you know, make it up and hope for the best.
#BadFaithMedicine
Lying at the core of the anti-abortion fake clinic movement is a fundamental belief that women are simultaneously evil and helpless and above all, rightfully subordinate. Not deserving of autonomy and dignity, much less the truth about how bodies work.
#BadFaithMedicine
Anti-abortion attitudes are not race-neutral. They are an expression of white supremacy, rooted in white panic about decreasing white birth rates and simultaneous, absolutely zero care that women and babies of color are most hurt by abortion restrictions.
#BadFaithMedicine
Yes! We should support pregnant people who don't have money and need support. But we should tie those needs to expanding a fact-based, compassionate safety net.
NOT a racist, right-wing movement on taxpayer dime.
