If an abortion doesn’t affect you, why do people make it a big deal?

If an abortion doesn’t affect you, why do people make it a big deal?

Within my lifetime these assholes have made consensual sex between me and my husband a crime that would have landed either one of us on a sex offender registry.

They absolutely will criminalize my own bodily autonomy, if they can get away with it. I know this, because within my lifetime they have. So you fight back against every single encroachment on somebody else’s autonomy every single time it occurs.

No, sodomy laws are not some abstract, victimless, mostly-unenforced statute that just “reflects local community values.” And, of course, their buddies on the court have been dog whistling a willingness to “revisit” Lawrence ever since the court struck it.

Which document should be pointed out to a holocaust denier?

You do not concede even an inch to these assholes. Ever. Under any circumstances.

First, something doesn’t need to benefit me individually in order for it to be the right thing to do.

In my specific case, two things.

I caught my husband of 20 years looking at inappropriate pics of women on TikTok or Instagram. I'm not sure., but when I told him he got mad and made excuses of why they popped up. I then told him how I've snuck on his phone and saw what he's been looking at . We had a horrible big fight. I asked him why did he even marry me when I see the type he likes . Nothing like me, I'm petite, blonde and blue eyes. These women are dark haired dark eyed and have curvy bodies, large breasts, etc. I just don't feel the same about him after this. I can't get over this

History has repeatedly shown that you do not give these assholes an inch. Ever. Not ever. Under any circumstances. Ever.

You fight back against them every single time they encroach on the bodily autonomy of anyone, because if they can get away with doing it to women, they can, and have gotten away with doing it to gay people, to forced sterilizations of black people, and disabled people, to anyone and everyone they consider undesirable.

Second, while it’s true that not every instance of a possible slippery slope is, by itself, evidence that a slippery slope is occurring, it is nevertheless unavoidable that christian nationalism is a for real, no-fucking-around threat to my personal wellbeing.
