Watch out for the word ‘triggered’ in media. This is the newest assault on speech. In fem-bot, lib-bot language it means that certain images or certain words can ‘trigger’ a psychotic event, depression or even suicide in another.
This will soon be used to used to goad government to curtail certain speech, actions, printed text, video, movies, etc. Watch for it in a court case soon.
Last night I had dreams about the babies I lost. Hell, yes, I was “triggered” for a year or more after each loss. Somehow it still wasn’t my right to assault people, or stop them from talking and writing, or sue them.
There are many many women out there who are “triggered” by the pain of abortion, unresolved grief and guilt and anger. There are abortion advocates who are “triggered” by the contradiction of their attachment to their own children. Perhaps it is the same refusal of responsibility and hardship that leads to them aborting their babies that leads them to attack others for reminding them of what abortion is.
