This was incredibly helpful, there are pieces I’ll be sharing with friends who have been struggling to express their thoughts/views in this way. Thank you for writing this ❤️
As someone who looks like an older white dude with a daughter in her 30s and a granddaughter at 3 1/2, I’m now researching the Grandfathers for YES! group and modeling what they do. Are there already active groups like this for the American movement? Only if you know off-hand, I can Google myself -- you are busy. If you know and have a contact, put me in touch. My time is my own and I’m a bit of a loud-mouth troublemaker. Just want to make sure I’m making the right kind of trouble.
So pissed off about this. My battlefield of choice has been LinkedIn... lots of dudes outing themselves over there... I even got ... a bit suspended for an hour because I said something one of them didn’t like... 🤷♂️
I just wanted to make a comment about how he wrote “nobody ever WANTS an abortion btw, usually a whole lot of things need to go wrong to wind up needing one”.
I find this dismissive, like it’s putting conditions on getting an abortion. A whole lot of things DO NOT “need” to go wrong to wind up “needing” one. All that “needs” to happen is that a person with a uterus gets pregnant and doesn’t “WANT” to be.
I got pregnant when I was 15 and I absolutely WANTED an abortion…and it didn’t take a whole lot of things going wrong for me to want one.
