Anti-choice people shot and bombed doctors and clinics so it’s not exactly unprecedented.
So, you’re okay sinking to those same lows?
The thing is…it worked. People training to be doctors stopped going into abortion-related fields, some schools stopped teaching late-term abortion techniques, and it overall became more difficult to get abortions. And now abortions are becoming illegal again in many states. Their side won.
Not yet. A lot of doctors are leaving those states so that they can practice freely without fear of being prosecuted for doing what’s best for their patients. Looking at you, Idaho
You say, “won” like nothing can ever change. Dobbs is definitely a step back but I am certain it’ll change back in my lifetime. I’m not an American, but where I am, we’ve adjusted to the threats against abortion providers and I think many US states have done the same.
As the saying goes, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”
I’ve been saying this for years. Hope you don’t get banned.
If I do I do. But that’s where I am. We keep trying the ‘right’ thing to fix society and get past this shit.
Its. not. fucking. working.
It really is working. It might not be as fast as we want, and it’s definitely a bit of “two steps forwards, one step back,” but society is generally moving in the right direction.
Tell this woman and the thousands of others like her that it’s working. I fucking dare you to go to her account and post don’t worry society is getting better just live with it for now.
I’m not responding to her specific situation, but the movement of society in general.
To be quite frank, we are beyond the time where incremental change is going to save us on so many issues, we might as well drastically raze the entire structure to the ground and rebuild anew. We shortly will not have the planet we used to because we’ve been trying this current method of polite effort. We need to be rude, aggressive, and dangerous to our opposition because they are trying to kill us. They are actively killing us. We are not winning yet and I don’t know if I have time to see us get there.
It seems a lot more like half a step forward, one step back.
By any means necessary.
