  1. One of the things little discussed is that when the state has the power to control whether or not a woman can control her own pregnancy, it can just as easily coerce her into terminating it as easily as coercing her to carry it to term.

  3. Please stop claiming to be “pro-life” unless you give clear full throated support to increasing adoption resources, making birth control free and easily accessible, expanded Medicaid benefits for pregnant and post-partum women, increased child nutrition benefits, increased access to free or reduced cost daycare and Headstart, tighter clean air and clean water regulations, stronger workplace safety protections, single payer healthcare, and living wages. All those things benefit and enhance actual living of lives. Forcing women to bear children they do not want, or that are not medically likely to survive after birth without all those other things is in no way “pro-life.” Its “forced birth.”Report
