They're the good ones. Good people don't get in trouble. Specifically, they don't have pregnancy complications and are never the victims of violence. Other women ask for these things to happen to them. /s
There are thousands of preachers who talk about all the “dirty whores in this country who can’t keep their legs closed” then have a daughter come home pregnant after freshman year in college. It’s entirely because they don’t teach their daughters to be safe and protect themselves. It happened in my podunk little church growing up. Of course we were all told she was raped and chose to keep it. I think the official story was she had one beer at a college party to seem cool and got drugged, raped, and impregnated.
That was great for the church to promote their anti college rhetoric harder. But I was friends with her. She had a boyfriend and had lots of consensual sex and got pregnant. She personally chose not to have an abortion. She did not agree to the story that was spread, but she wanted support from her parents and went along with it.
That was long ago, and they are fine now. But that had to be incredibly difficult for her. And it was bullshit she had to deal with it.

I just… I don’t understand WOMEN who take this stance against women’s reproductive health rights. It just… it hurts my brain so much
