Since the passage of the Pro-Life Omnibus Bill (HB 2) in 2013, anti-Life advocates have sought to make abortion more accessible in Texas. Cicada Collective is one such group, describing itself as “a queer and trans* people of color centered organization” with the mission of “providing practical abortion support.”
This “support” encompasses acting as an “abortion doula.” Doulas transport pregnant mothers and their unborn children to abortion appointments, give the mothers lodging during the ordeal, and remain with them before, during, and after the abortion.
The initiative began shortly before the historic passage of HB 2, and hosted a full first year of activities following the event. Momentum has fizzled since then (a trend across the spectrum of abortion advocates), but the abortion doula movement has gained momentum elsewhere in the United States. Last year, a few of their stories were released in widely-distributed publications. They are unflinching accounts of trauma, loss, and a harrowing misconception of how to really help women in unplanned pregnancy situations. (You can read abortion doula testimonies here and here, for example.)
One testimony, published in New York Magazine, recounts the author’s first experience assisting a mother through the killing of her child:
The resident begins to perform the procedure as the attending barks commands. “Pull,” she says, “harder.” The body does not want to let go. The resident will not stop. It strikes me as strangely similar to birth, only the opposite word and a different outcome. Pull. Pull. Pull. What’s called the products of conception bucket is mostly filled with bloody gunk. I make out a doll-size arm, fist curled. It feels like I shouldn’t look, but I can’t turn away… Eventually, they have to remove the uterus; there isn’t any other way.
Any formerly-held notions of so-called “reproductive justice” being a flowery, warm concept quickly shatter as abortion doulas “get used to” the bloody, murderous reality that is abortion.
Abortion is not something women – or doulas – should “get used to” or accept as part of pro-woman healthcare. At Texas Right to Life, we reject the notion that killing a mother’s child contributes to her health or wellbeing in any circumstance. Pro-woman healthcare is cultivated by a Culture of Life, in which motherhood is supported by local communities, and physicians uphold their commitment to protect all Life. We will not stop until all Texas women and children are afforded the respect they inherently deserve.
They are trying to take over the language.
They are using a word that at its core is the total opposite of what they are doing.
A more accurate term would be an “abortion statutory rapist surrogate” or an “abortion demander” or an “abortion concierge”. Oh wait they like eating at fine restaurants, they wouldn’t like that last one. Maybe an “abortion facilitator”. An “abortion cruise director”? How about an “abortion field agent”?
Assisting in a Capital Murder.
You made me think of another.
“End of Inconvenient Life Counselor”.
Another one, from my line of profession.
“A Cleaner.”
Cicada? As in "Plague of Locusts"?
“Assisting in a Capital Murder.”
They are not for now. They are just taking the women to a place where the laws on abortion are not so strict. Just think when Roe vs Wade and Doe vs Bouton is overturned. If these chicks are doing this now they will really be going at it full force then. More than likely taking the women to Tijuana, Mexico. Then women will really die in big numbers.
“Fetal Removal Assistant”.
“Feticide Assistant.”
It’s deliberately taking over the language of the other side.
It’s the same thing gays have tried to do with the term “marriage”.
I know what it is.
another word perverted beyond recognition

What is a doula? The word "doula" comes from the ancient Greek meaning "a woman who serves" and is now used to refer to a trained and experienced professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to the mother before, during and just after birth; or who provides emotional and practical support during the postpartum period. |
Doula is a woman who helps with pregnancy and childbirth, a perfectly normal function.
They have perverted the word and are using it for the death of the baby, a completely unnatural function.
BTW, they are also using the word for those who assist with suicide.
“”Cicada Collective is one such group, describing itself as “a queer and trans* people of color centered organization” with the mission of “providing practical abortion support.””
What hole in the ground do these people crawl out of? Let’s find it and seal it up permanently.....
Accessory to murder
