"Abortion is ok": How Southern Activists are Providing a Template for Post Roe...(MEGA BARF)

FULL TITLE: "Abortion is ok": How Southern Activists are Providing a Template for Post Roe v Wade Future. (MEGA BARF)

This spring, Amplify Georgia had a problem. The first company that the non-profit had contacted to fly its banner over the Atlanta Jazz Festival refused service. They were left scrambling, but that didn’t stop the organization from finding another willing pilot — and so, on two separate occasions, for four hours at a time circling above the festival on May 26 and 27, their banner flew. It read: “Abortion is OK!”

“Many people have never seen an even slightly affirming message about abortion,” Jaira Burke, the campaign manager for Amplify — a group dedicated to normalizing and publicizing abortion in the South — said. “So we believe it’s our job to fight the stigmatization that people receive for making a decision about their body and life that is personal and should not be politicized.”

Progressives fear that if President Donald Trump’s nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh is confirmed as a Supreme Court justice we will see a post-Roe v. Wade America. But in Georgia, it’s practically already a reality. Women seeking abortions in the state contend with a 24-hour waiting period between their intake appointment and the procedure, according to the Guttmacher Institute. Minors must have parental permission, and all women must receive mandatory counseling about their decision. Even those with health insurance cannot get an abortion covered if they bought their policies through the state exchange or are public employees, unless their life is in danger. Abortions after 20 weeks are banned in Georgia, except in cases where the woman may die or there are extreme fetal abnormalities. In 2014, the Guttmacher Institute found that 58% of Georgian women live in counties without clinics equipped to provide abortions.

I’m sure once upon a time many people had never seen a slightly affirming message about no-fault divorce, homosexuality, pedophilia, or idolatry either while we’re at it.

Since the pro-abort crowd seems to love animals more than humans...... Would they kill a kitten?

I’m OK, you’re OK. Infanticide is NOT OK.

In fact it should be punishable by the death penalty.

HOWZZAT?

How about flying over their event with a banner that reads “Legalize Wife-Killing. She’s a B*tch Anyway!”

See how the Feminazis like THAT one!

Feminazis don’t get married.

Only conservative women.

Sooo Feminazis would probably love it considering they never say a word when Muslims do Honor Killings.

"Just because Roe made [abortion] legal, it didn’t make it accessible and our folks have been living with this for a long time," she said"

Well, that's a no-brainer.

If abortion is inaccessible, "our folks" are going to be "living with this."

As opposed to "dying with this."

I've always said I don't just want abortion to be illegal. I want it to be unthinkable.

I make it a point to avoid affirming messages about murder. I am prejudiced that way.
