Riddle me this:
Bible says you are a person/human/alive at first breath (Genesis 2:7, Job 33:4, Ezekiel 37:5-6). US Government leaves you an undocumented noncitizen until birth.
SO WHY THE FUCK IS THIS EVEN STILL A THING
If you are okay with having Muslim, Jewish and Hindu students sit through a Christian prayer in public school, and not okay with having Christian students sit through a Muslim, Jewish or Hindu prayer, then it’s NOT religious freedom- it’s religious oppression.
So long story short. I turned down the field trip and told the organizers and my administration exactly why I was turning it down.
Now every time I see a picture or hear the name of the organizer, I get salty and relive my frustration of those conversations .
Still me being salty about the field trip we could organize during COVID to an outdoor garden space where I was told I could only extend the offer to my ten “best” students. (We were remote.)
Ten “best” in what?
Side note: I am guilty of claiming all my students as “the best” or “my favorites” often in the same conversation. BECAUSE THEY ALL ARE.
They all are unique, beautiful humans that deserve my best…which would not be picking ten for a field trip without offering it to all.
Coming to the realization that amongst my immediate family I am seen as the flippant and unreliable one.
I’ve always thought of myself as responsible and a master multitasker.
Please bear with me while I mourn all my former self decided positive attributes. 😭😂😂
Let’s be real: there’s a WHOLE lot of men whose lives, careers, and families have benefited from an abortion (including several “pro-life” GOP Congressmen).
Men, we need you right now. You can get through in rooms others can’t. Your power matters. Speak up. This is about us all.
I really wish people would stop drastically using the scenarios of rape or incest as the sole premise for an abortion. A woman doesn’t have to be in a traumatic situation for it to be reason enough. In fact there is zero explanation that needs to be given.
jewish law requires an abortion if the fetus is threatening the mother’s life. “religious freedom” in america only ever applies to the white christian masses.
I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it a thousand times: The treatment for an ectopic pregnancy, a septic uterus, or a miscarriage that your body won’t release is abortion. If you can’t get those abortions, you die. You. Die.
