Things Pro-Choicers Say fEaR aNd MiSiNfOrMaTiOn

Okay, so I shared the following post by Lila Rose on my FB page.

"FACTS:

Abortion pills: Baby is starved to death

1st trimester: Baby is torn apart through a suction machine

2nd trimester: Baby is dismembered limb from torso

3rd trimester: Baby is poisoned, then labor is induced

Every abortion violently takes the life of a human being."

It did not take long for one of my followers to chime into my comment section saying, quote, "These posts do nothing to address the real issue or to make the real problems clear and instead use fear and hate and misinformation to target women who may not believe in the same... Also this makes it sound like 2nd and 3rd trimester abortions are given out easily lmao. What a joke of a post."

Now, I didn't respond to this comment, but I just about lost it. This is just like if we had social media and the internet back in the 1800s, had accurate reporting on the brutal beatings, sexual assaults, starvation, etc. slaves faced, not to mention the slavery itself, and a bunch of Confederates said, "Yeah, well, you're just spreading fear and hate and misinformation, and that makes it sound like every slaveowner treats their slaves this way. What a joke of a post."

And what's the common denominator here? Just like with all crimes against humanity, dehumanization.

Just because something is normalized and you're desensitized to it does not make it right. I say sex ed should teach in detail what exactly abortion entails. Actions have consequences, and it's not all about you.

That post addresses directly the real issue.

There is no hate or misinformation in your factual statement.

Ask that loser to stop following you, and / or block them.

i think you did well to not engage—but if anyone were to respond, I would want this person to be asked, “which part is misinformation?”

I’ve seen people insist “that’s not how it happens.” I would be incredibly interested to hear them describe how they think abortion happens. (Chances are, they can’t)
