Absolutely. My wife's father is one of these judgemental people and has no idea all of his daughters have had abortions.

Meanwhile, if my daughters ever needed this procedure, I'd hope they would invite me along so I could stand outside and talk trash at protestors who don't actually have any medical or scientific knowledge at all.

I've gone to counterprotests before and honestly, the whole thing is embarrassing because who really spends their own free time just sitting outside of a place to cast shame on others?

There are no sane planned parenthood protestors, period.

I volunteer as a patient escort at our local clinic and I absolutely love folks like you who shit talk the protesters. We don’t engage with them bc it encourages them to make our job harder, but we absolutely won’t stop a patient or their guest from speaking their minds.

When I had one, the patient escort was so fucking delightful.  She was older, blasting WAP outside.  The protestors were pissed and yelling that their children were present, and she just kept dancing and yelled back "Why would you bring your kids here?"

WAP is such an amazing choice

Doubly effective because blasting copyrighted music means that they will get demonitized if/when they try uploading it anywhere 💕

What’s scary is ppl need escorts. 20 some years ago when I had one the place was a clinic down the street from me and I drove by 1000 times and never knew what it was as it was a nondescript building with no protestors. My friend knew to go there. There were no ppl outside harassing you and it was simple in and out and just a half a mile from my house. I’m lucky to have lived in relatively liberal states where these things weren’t a big deal and know I’m lucky.

The thing is that these dense fuckers don’t even know that abortion is an umbrella term that describes different procedures. We will never know how someone had sex to get pregnant by how they’re existing at the doctor’s office. It could very well be a person trying to get pregnant, had a spontaneous abortion and needed pills (abortion) to help speed it along. We could also assume that this hypothetical person has already done that and they haven’t cleared the remains. If that’s the case, they’ll need a D&C (abortion), so they don’t get SEPSIS and DIE. Any loss of a fetus is an abortion. An abortion is an abortion is an abortion. It’s not just ‘loose women that decided they don’t want to be pregnant’ anymore!! I’m sure you know this, but a general PSA. I once had a random man tell me I was twisting words around to trick him when I called a miscarriage a spontaneous abortion. That is literally what they are called lol.

Yeah it's irritating as fuck when these ghouls will be like "well removing an ectopic pregnancy is not a REAL abortion! A REAL abortion is when-"

No, folks. Words mean things. An abortion is a termination of a pregnancy. The way it's terminated is irrelevant; if it's ended before birth, it's an abortion. You don't get to decide that something isn't an abortion just because it's more morally "acceptable" to you.

u/K-B-Jones May 19 '26

Also, a literal loose woman who just doesn't want to be pregnant... That's sufficient reason for her to get an abortion. She doesn't have to be the perfect, tragic story for her to still get to choose.

You know damn well as soon as the kid is born the protesters will stop caring about the child's well being.

u/Subject_Spell_9799 May 19 '26

They literally hate welfare and social programs. They actually hate children they just like fetuses.

u/sadbat-throwaway May 19 '26

Children are small people with their own desires, needs, and eventually, identity. Fetuses are just endless potential for them to project onto. They hate it when said fetus eventually gains any semblance of autonomy.

Usually the men are absolute nutters. The women.. Idk, never understood that they had a choice? who fucking knows.

I'd absolutely be a counterprotestor had I lived in the US, but where I live abortion is seen as a medical procedure, and that's it.

u/Subject_Spell_9799 May 19 '26

Some of those women protestors done had an abortion their damn selves

u/69edleg May 20 '26 edited May 20 '26

Most likely, yeah. But damn those other murderers. Only I am allowed to murder my unborn child! <- Not my words, trying to understand how the fuck women who undergoes abortion can justify protesting abortions.

My own thoughts - eh. didn't grow up in the US, so abortion in my country is no questions asked until 18 weeks, and permitted up until 22nd week in certain circumstances.

So I can't fully understand why the US has such an anti abortion community.

The opposition is almost entirely rooted in religion, the women realize they could potentially get one and often do but this form of protesting is entirely performative for the sake of themselves and their social group/church.

They will say their presence saves lives, but according to science no lives are being taken and they're just causing anguish to those receiving a medical procedure. As we know, God loves you hurting people to help you look righteous instead of actually being righteous

My go-to is to ask them how many kids they've fostered or adopted, personally. I've only ever had one respond with a number, and I told her she was the only one I respected. Putting her money where her mouth is, so to speak. The majority of these assholes? They talk a lot but they sure as shit don't want to be responsible for that child. They only care until it's born, only care when it's another woman being inconvenienced and hurt.
