I Don't Want To Remember This

 Utah criminalizes miscarriage.

I have no words.

Beyond commenting on how desperate someone must be to pay someone to beat her, and how horrible it must be to have no other options. ($175 is cheaper than an abortion).

Also, how craven it is to beat a pregnant seventeen year for money.

I just... I am just horrified about this whole situation.

I saw a good documentary about abortion a while ago called Lake of Fire. It has a slight pro-choice bias, but both sides get roughly the same amount of screentime and the bias might just be me looking for what I want to see.

Am I the only one who thinks that it's no coincidence that the groups who oppose abortion, contraception and sexual education are the groups with the highest incidence of teen pregnancy and abortion?

Of course not! It's a direct casual relationship! There is basically no way of stopping kids from having sex, but it's totally possible to deny them the knowledge about how to have sex responsibly.

Indeed. As I said to qualapec, this is a part of society that refuses to deal with root issues that cause these problems, and then compensate by focusing 100 and crazy% on dealing with the effects.
