CynicalReviews at it again with a 10/10 banger

[@jessetorres8738]

When I was a kid, I had a relative who gave birth in the 6th month & sadly the child didn't survive long because their organs weren't fully developed. Afterwards, my relative found out she had a blood issue that she took medication for & was able to have another child later. Ever since then, my thoughts on being "pro-life" vs. "pro-choice" have always been abortion is fine in the 1st & 2nd trimesters since the child can't survive outside the womb on their own, but 3rd trimester it depends on if the birth will effect the life of the mother.

That's actually not too far off from the truth. The PP clinic I worked at scheduled all their abortions for Wednesdays so that they could have the appropriate staff in once a week. Now there were people that came in for other things, but the vast majority of the clinic time was spent on abortions that day. And the protesters did figure it out and show up on those days.

Once, in my very late teens/early 20s, I had a job that didn't have health insurance. I had read somewhere that planned parenthood (in my town it was called "womens health center" but it was a planned parenthood) gave free womans healthcare (pap smears, gyn, etc.) I had a cyst on my ovary, for which I had went to the emergency room. Anyway I went to this planned parenthood because I couldn't afford a private GYN. I, being young and having not read the news, was surprised to see a bunch of women standing outside and stopping people. One of the ladies stopped me and said "your mother wouldn't want you to do this. You look like a good girl, your mother loves you." And I was like "my mom wouldn't want me to get a pap smear?" I was so confused. 😂 and the lady, also confused, was like "what?" And I was like "also, my mom is dead." And she was like "oh, I'm so sorry" and walked off.

[@AngryReptileKeeper]

I went to a PP in my early 20's for a birth control script because I also couldn't afford a private doctor. While I was in there and my boyfriend was in the waiting room waiting for me, somebody slashed one of his tires. We only noticed after we got back in the car to leave. We went back the next day to tell security what happened and ask if they had any CCTV footage of that angle (they didn't). I stayed in the car. My boyfriend walked out of the building alone, and one of the protesters yelled "save your baby!" at him. It was just so weird and asinine to be shouting that at a lone man.

[@diaryofarealmom3264]

Planned parenthood doesn’t have any free services. I tried to go there many times for services, and it was insane expensive. I ended up going to Christian pregnancy centers, everything was free. Oh and I’m an atheist so…

It just seems like they go so hard to make those with different views seem comically evil. Personally, I don't think abortions should be used as a form of birth control and shouldn't be performed after a certain period, unless it's for medical reasons. But that doesn't mean that I think abortions shouldn't be available. It's up to the individual to make that choice for themselves and I'm not going to harass anyone for making a choice that I may not agree with. I wish we all could stop judging each other as a group and start taking people and scenarios on an individual, case by case basis. Life isn't black and white, there are many shades of gray. I just try to treat everyone with respect, kindness and grace. Unless I'm driving, but I am working on having more patience behind the wheel! 🤣❤️

Literally had a person who was in charge in finding funds for the procedures -We check POC in the moment to make sure everything is accounted for to make sure the patients are taken care of -We pulled all patients back alone for first for any appointment type to ask ipv (interpersonal violence questions). So a patient wasn't pressured into anything they don't want to -My facility manager worked her ass off to make our recovery room comfortable -We were always training to be up to date on comfort, care, and knowledge -We always made sure the patients had a follow up plan and details on what to expect and when to call if you have a problem.

My mom had a miscarriage about 15 years ago when I was 10. It was late miscarriage due to a fetal abnormality. She had to undergo a D&E (dilation & evacuation) which is a an abortion procedure. She put under anesthesia and only felt slight cramping and bled a little. This was a very wanted pregnancy. Even after having almost 3 kids my mom is still very pro choice. Since Roe V Wade was overturned having a miscarriage can be seen as an abortion because there is no way to prove that it was natural end to the pregnancy. Also in your medical records if you get a D&C or another similar procedure for a miscarriage it will be listed as an abortion.

As someone who has had an abortion at Planned parenthood I can tell you that 32:55 is a complete lie. They tell you upfront that an abortion is $600. They don't wait until the ultrasound. In fact the ultrasound is usually optional. In my state of Missouri though, it was required by law at the time for them to preform and show you the ultrasound. The price is also negotiable. I paid $45 for mine because I was deeply impoverished and qualified for a charity to cover most of my fees. In addition they were not at all pushy about abortions. They explained all my options and even gave me information to groups that could help me if I kept the baby, groups that offered things like housing and adoption assistance. Its very disappointing that many people only know PP for abortions when they do so much more. The abortion was the first time I went there but since then I've been going to them for everything from birth control to endometriosis treatment.

[@puffinatheart5565]

​​@@budokanmetal4999 i know youre a troll and also this is none of your business anyway, but I'll give you a few reasons as to why someone might choose to have an abortion rather than go through pregancy and give it up for adoption: 1. Pregancy sucks. It is uncomfortable, stops people from working, is a finantial burden, and sometimes physically changed someone for the rest of their lives in a way they dont want. Wanting to be pregnant makes these symptoms okay, since it is your choice and a risk and sacrifice you are willing to make, but if you dont want to be pregnant, these symptoms are not worth it. 2. Giving birth is dangerous. America has one of the highest mortality rates for women giving birth in any wealthy country. Giving birth can also cause permanent vaginal damage and c-sections are common. Theyre risky and leave permanent scars since theyre a surgery. 3. Giving birth is expensive. The average cost of giving birth in an american hospital is $10,000. Idk what else to say, a lot of people, especially poor people, cannot affort to give birth, especially to a child they dont even plan on taking care of themselves. 4. Emotional attachment to the child after giving birth as well as postpartum depression. Giving birth and then immediately giving up your child is traumatizing. A lot of people get abortions because they cannot afford to have children, as raising a child for 18 years costs an absurd amount of money, something like $100,00. If you know you are going to give up the baby, the entire process of being pregant and giving birth are all the more painful. 5. Foster and adoption system in america is very very very bad. Idk if i need to elaborate on this, but it's extremely bad. There have been studies on it, go read them if you want to be sad, i guess. 6. Eptopic pregancies and any other pregnancy that could kill the mother and/or baby. Giving birth is already dangerous, let alone if you have a condition that makes it multitudes MORE dangerous. My point is that even thinking or using empathy for a single minute could bring you to literally any conclusion that isnt asking this woman a weird, invasive, and accusatory question. Basically, fuck off.

Being pro choice gives these people the choice upon their own body whereas being pro-life removes it.

The pro-life side does tend to infantalise women. Their stance isn't hard to understand though: Just realise that in their mind, no women can *ever* freely choose abortion. Such a decision is the antithesis of womanhood. Literally unthinkable. So any women who does make that choice, obviously didn't: She must have been coerced into it by a manipulative father, or brainwashed by feminist propaganda, or forced in to it by her father. So by denying her the choice, they aren't really denying her the choice: They are just making sure that she does what she would surely have done anyway, were she not brainwashed.

The Holocaust comparison REALLY pisses me off for two reasons. 1: I'm Jewish, and the attempted systematic extermination of my people shouldn't be used as a talking point for forced-birthers. Fetuses cannot survive outside the womb, they aren't people imo. Holocaust victims were independent, thinking, feeling human beings who were slaughtered due to their ethnicity. The comparison is insulting. 2: One of the often overlooked heroes of the Holocaust is Dr. Gisella Perl. She was an Hungarian Jewish gynecologist who was imprisoned in Auschwitz and later Bergen-Belsen. Because of her medical background, she was forced to assist Josef Mengele, the monster who experimented on prisoners. Mengele had a particular obsession with pregnant women. When Perl realised what Mengele was doing to these women and children, she swore that there would never be a pregnant woman in Auschwitz again. She performed hundreds of abortions at night, in secret, and with no proper medical tools in order to keep these women away from Mengele and the other Nazis (who liked to beat pregnant women to death or throw them into crematoriums alive). It was tragic, since some of these women did probably want their babies, but Perl knew that being pregnant would lead to the horrific deaths of two lives, so she resolved to save the one life she could. After the camps were liberated, Perl looked for her family, and found out her husband, son, parents, and extended family were all dead, and her daughter was missing. She tried to kill herself but failed. She eventually went to he U.S as a speaker about the Holocaust, wrote a book about her experience, and started practicing medicine again in New York City, where she delivered thousands of babies. Before she entered the delivery room, Dr. Perl would always say, "G-d, you owe me a life, a living baby." Perl eventually found out her daughter was alive in Israel and moved there to be with her. Apparently, some Jewish women in Israel and in other places recognized her, and they thanked her for saving their lives. Abortion not only saved the lives of Holocaust victims, it saved them from sadistic torture at the hands of one of humanity's worst monsters. So I hope I don't have to explain why using the Holocaust as some "gotcha" against abortion is beyond horrible. Fuck this movie, fuck forced-birthers, and fuck every single asshole who uses my people's worst massacre as a talking point.

She died and left 10 kids to be raised by any family member willing to stick their necks out which unfortunately we didn't have many at that time. Some did manage to scrape by as farm hands, but their history was lost. We know of my great grandmother, and she told the story of her mother and the 3 siblings she did manage to keep tabs on. I know that 1920's abortion care is not on the same par as today in terms of safety, but I think it can't be ignored that women will make these choices with or without safe access.

absolutely crazy that women, who already exist as living human beings, are supposed to sacrifice everything and give up on their own lives the moment they become pregnant no matter what the circumstances. I'm glad you were able to access one, anyway

[@theshinypeliper8813]

Exactly, no one wants to have to make that choice and yet sometimes a situation comes up where that’s the best option for us…

HBO Max announced S2 for Velma shortly after the last episode of S1. Some people speculated that HBO ordered 20 episodes and it got split into 2 seasons. With how HBO killed Scooby Do thru Velma and Clone High (s2 sucked), im wondering wtf is going on at these pitch meetings.

I want to thank planned parenthood for always being there when i needed my birth control and yearly exams. I got them all for free because i didnt have any money at the time. Thank you so much! I will continue to support them! ❤

[@HoneyBeeFlanzman]

My OBGYN dropped by insurance while I was pregnant so they could only see me through to my 6 week health check. Planned Parenthood was there to give me an affordable IUD when I was in between health care providers. The protesters didn't know what to make of a woman with a newborn walking into the building... probably wondering if I was going in for a 50 week abortion 🙄

I also want to thank planned parenthood for my free birth control as a broke college kid. Those pills prevented me from getting preggo and needing an abortion.

THANK YOU for pointing out how much more dangerous pregnancy and childbirth are than abortion!!! I hate that this part is so often neglected by anti-choice folks. Pregnancy isn't a health neutral condition. Sure adoption is an alternative to get out of parenthood, but then you still have to go through pregnancy and birth, which DOES carry health risks, can be deeply traumatic, and will often permanently alter the body.

​@@RinitaChanThat's not true, the only reason people die when abortions are banned is because leftist doctors don't care if someone dies in order to push their agenda and purposefully let it happen knowing full well the law is. Also more People die from abortions its just that pro choice people don't consider fetuses people. Like literally every genocider considers the people they kill to not be people.

A story I have from entering an abortion clinic, it was calm and quiet inside, everyone was gentle and very soft spoken since no one WANTS to be there. Upon entering (I entered twice) we had a lady who stood between us and protestors with an umbrella who made sure we were okay before showing us through. A traumatic experience with supportive and understanding professionals. I would never wish needing to have an abortion upon anyone but the fact that it's an option is so extremely necessary. (I don't wanna discuss these things further then throwing down a vague part of my experience and general opinion, so I'm not gonna reply if anyone wants to fight lol)
