Notice your period is late? That's too late for an abortion in Georgia

What if people just hate condoms? I notice lots of men and women talk about how it "restricts" the depth or something like that. I think most men would prefer their own version of the pill.

When I was in high school one day I was given a flyer by a well-meaning person with an attached condom so I'd have one and the flyer was advocating safe sex. All well and good until I notice that the condom is stapled to the flyer through the condom. I have run into this situation twice, and I take that as an indication of just how dumb people can be about condoms.

First thing that came to mind before I finished reading was me hoping people didn't staple through it lol.

lol again.

What is this Fuzzy is going on about sex education being non existent in the US?

Oh hell yeah. I'm a shut-in virgin and even I would start taking them. Mostly in the unlikely eventuality that Hell freezes over and causes everyone in the world to spontaneously need a warm cuddle.

Yeah, if there's ever a chance I'm getting some, I'll suck up and endure it.

None of that makes what i said untrue. I'd think that being treated as a criminal when you miscarry, even if you do eventually get found not guilty, is a pretty horrific thing.

Well, it makes the 100 year sentence part untrue. It would still be horrible to be suspected of a crime. Of course the same thing can happen when a spouse dies.

So how much of this is earnest coming from you and how much is playing devil's advocate?

A woman who miscarries has no control, despite religious right-wing attempts to paint her as having done so. She should not be jailed, period.

Falling down the stairs or off a ladder or off a horse... Those are all examples I remember from media of women miscarrying for various reasons, some intentional. But that's media, it's not like women ever commit suicide while pregnant or a history of women who did not having access to abortion engaging in dangerous behavior in an attempt to miscarry... no, not at all...

[Yukaphile]

I mean, this is very much a slippery slope, and I know that's a logical fallacy, but if you're gonna arrest a woman who miscarried for "murder" then what about a woman who was legitimately happy to be starting a family with her partner, did nothing wrong? What then? She could be arrested under that same legal definition. And a woman who deliberately miscarries, in a state with harsh anti-choice laws... tbh, I can't really blame her. No woman will ever give birth to a baby she does not want, and men AND women just need to learn to accept that.
