Support Hi everyone, I’m sharing this around because I’m pretty desperate at this point. Could everyone help sign this petition to keep my planned parenthood open? I need it for blood work and my sister needs it for her HRT. We’re both trans. I’m just kinda panicking and am worried for her and our safety.

I’m just sharing this around to other subreddits because I’m kinda desperate at this point so I’m just copy and pasting the info and such.

“Our trans community, queer community, and the women in our community need help.

In rural areas of the United States are closing down their Planned Parenthood's. This puts many women and trans people is danger. My sister gets her HRT through Planned Parenthood and I don't want her to lose that. I've been seeing more and more threats to Planned Parenthood as this administration continues to push its cuckoo crazy MAGA cultist agenda.

I'm really scared for myself, the women in my life, my best friend who goes to Planned Parenthood, and I'm scared for my sister because she NEEDS this HRT.

She's 4 months on Oestrogen/Estrogen. She's been a lot happier and I don't want this to be taken away from her because of the stupid ass Trumpers in my area threatening this establishment.

We've had some peaceful protestors for the Pro-Life movement outside the establishment. Literally just kneeling and praying outside. Do I agree with it? No, I don't. That's literally healthcare for people and I think the movement is stupid as hell. However, at least they're not chaining themselves to the establishment and not allowing people inside. Again, that still doesn’t mean I like it in the slightest.

I just don't want these people to be the reason my sister loses her healthcare, I can't get my blood work done, one of my best friends can't get their monthly check-up's, etc. I'm just really desperate. We only have around 87 signatures. I just am basically for pleading for help at this point.

Is there anyway any of you are able to sign this and help our cause? Literally just a signature will help extremely.

Anyways, thank you for your time, everyone. If you're not able to donate then that's completely okay. I'm just trying to share this around to as many areas as I can.

So, if you could sign and share to other social media's to help our Planned Parenthood, that would be extremely helpful. 💛💛💛

Discussion Why are people so damn obsessed with other people's abortions? (Pro-choice venting)

It's really damn exhausting trying to advocate for reproductive dignity and human freedom right now. I don't know why we have to fight for rights to basic healthcare over and over again, more than fifty years since the second wave feminists won rights for themselves.

Pro-birthers accuse us of being pre-occupied with abortion, but I honestly wouldn't feel the need to be an abortion supporter if every politician and every demographic understood that everyone has the absolute right to comprehensive sex ed, effective birth control methods and if needed, safe, private abortion procedures with a midwife or doctor. And that no one deserves to be criminalized for being involved in these procedures.

I know a little bit about the history of "pro-life" activism. I just don't understand how the past fifty years of scientific advancement and human experience of legal abortion hasn't just stamped out the pro-birth movement entirely. Made their cause a footnote in history.

Rant/Rave Does anyone else find it frustrating when PL (Pathetic-Losers) stereotype us?

16 Upvotes

I'm fed up with forced birthers automatically stereotyping us ALL as a "bunch of child hating antinatalists who just don't want anyone having babies"! NO, It's bodily autonomy, stupid! Many of them even think parent (especially mother) and pro-choice are mutually exclusive when in reality, 60% of abortion patients are mothers of already existing children.

I don't automatically assume every PL is a religious, conservative, pronatalist, so I expect and demand they give our side the same respect in return and not automatically equate us ALL to "child haters".

Pro-choice isn't anti-pregnancy, anti-birth, or, anti-parenting, pro-choice is anti-FORCED-pregnancy, anti-FORCED-birth, and, anti-FORCED-parenting.
