Activists will protest abortion bans at Brittlebank Park on Tuesday at 6 p.m. (South Carolina)
CHARLESTON CITY PAPER ^ | May 20, 2019 | STAFF

Reproductive rights activists will gather at Brittlebank Park Tuesday afternoon to protest the spate of partial and near-total abortion bans being enacted across the country.

Planned Parenthood Votes! South Atlantic and We Are Family, a Charleston-based LGBTQ youth organization, are calling for "patients, volunteers, supporters, reproductive rights advocates, and concerned citizens" to join them from 6 to 7 p.m. at the park on the Ashley River.

The rally is part of a nationwide effort to mobilize activists against abortion restrictions.

It comes less than a week after Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed a near-total abortion ban. Under the law, which is not yet in effect and is likely to be challenged in court, doctors could face up to 99 years in prison for performing the procedure.

This year alone, four other states (Ohio, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Georgia) have passed fetal heartbeat bills. The laws prohibit abortion as soon as a heartbeat is detected, which can be as early as six weeks into a pregnancy, a time when many women don't yet know they are pregnant.

The S.C. House of Representatives passed a version of the proposal last month. It awaits debate in the Senate in 2020.

Gov. Henry McMaster has pledged to sign any fetal heartbeat bill that gets to his desk, according to The State.

"Women are outraged," said Planned Parenthood spokeswoman Vicki Ringer in a statement announcing Tuesday's rally. "Politicians have absolutely no place in our personal health decisions. Now more than ever, we must unite against this unprecedented attack on our fundamental rights and freedoms."

Planned Parenthood and We Are Family are partnering with the South Carolina chapters of the American Civil Liberties Union and Indivisible for the rally. You can RSVP on Facebook here.

even after the cunningham debacle, that sh*t isn’t likely to fly in charleston. worst case scenario: there will be delays at starbucks because all of the lesbian baristas will be milling about in the 90 degree heat at the park tomorrow.

"Reproductive rights activists will gather at Brittlebank Park Tuesday afternoon to protest the spate of partial and near-total abortion bans being enacted across the country. "

---------------

Don't you just love all the euphemisms ....."reproductive rights". "Pro-choice" "A woman's right". "Abortion as a method of birth control.", "Reproductive freedom". "Emergency contraceptive", "carrying to term would cause the mother “emotional distress” or “financial hardship”, "“Some women abort to care for their other children.” “Mommy loved me so much, she killed my brother/sister.”

It's murder of a defenseless unborn child. Just call it what it really is.

----------------

Here's a thought I had. Are more people going to show-up in Philly for the protest of Alabama legislative action than who showed up for Creepy Joe's political rally?

The majority of them will never even have the possibility of becoming pregnant due to their sexual proclivities yet they're pro abortion.

Go figure.

It takes one male and 1 female to get the female pregnant...

Six weeks into pregnancy, when many women don’t even know they’re pregnant?
How in heck can they print this lie? By the time of your missed period (4 weeks), you can walk into a grocery store and buy a pregnancy test.

:: a Charleston-based LGBTQ youth organization ::

So, let me get this straight [intended]...

Some folks structure their social life that results in them not being able to reproduce. Part of that social life includes support for unlimited abortion for people who have not structured their social life to preclude reproduction.

But, these “non-breeders” are incensed when they are disallowed to adopt children who are, by conscious decision of the child’s mother, NOT aborted.

Gender Dysphoria is STILL a mental health disease according to the APA. AKA: Liberalism is a mental disease.

Birth control is something you do BEFORE!
After that it’s just murder.
