One tweet stated, “A principle of good self-care is that it does not harm others. Abortion does not just harm another human but kills that tiny human being.”
Is abortion “self care”?

Writer Chadwick Moore wrote, “I don’t understand these irresponsible women who still need abortions. As a gay, before PrEp, if we had reckless sex, we died! Gays learned to wrap it up, or take a pill every day. At least with our bad choices, we only put our own lives at risk—not some poor baby.”

They layers of wrongness here actually excavate the underlying problems with “self care” as a framework for human flourishing.
But I will leave it at this.

“Safe, legal, and rare,” we were told. That was transparently false then, and you don’t even bother trying to pretend it’s true now. Get bent with this homicidal garbage.

On Friday, Fox News noted pro-choice activists nationwide have filed lawsuits against states that have restrictions on abortion following the reversal of Roe v. Wade.
Republicans appear to be shifting their approach to the issue of abortion following the midterm elections.
“It was probably a bigger factor than a lot of people thought,” Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel said during an interview earlier this month.
She added, “We’ve got to get conversant on that.”
McDaniel explained, “We can’t just do an ostrich method and pretend that it doesn’t exist when Democrats are spending $30 million on that message.”
Jeanne Mancini, the president of March for Life, commented on how the issue could impact the 2024 election.
“Heading into 2024, it is essential for any pro-life candidate to embrace the issue head-on, clearly defining their own position and contrasting it with the unpopular, extreme, abortion up-until-birth position of their opponent,” Mancini said, as The Hill reported.
According to Politico, conservative groups that poured money into opponents of abortion for the midterms are prepared to spend more for the 2024 election.
