On this day in 1916, Ota Benga, an African native who suffered inhumane treatment by being kept in a zoo, committed suicide.
He had been kidnapped in 1904 from Congo, and taken to America and exhibited at the Bronx Zoo with monkeys.
A THREAD!
i mean this with the upmost disrespect. if you are “pro-life” unfollow me right now. i don’t wanna be moots with you, i don’t wanna be your friend, nor do i even want to associate with you. i have absolutely no respect for y’all and never will.
Abortion is now illegal in Missouri.
No exceptions for rape or incest.
Right before I was elected, I met a pregnant 11 year old who has been raped by her uncle.
What about HER rights?
I said to my wife "Do you think anyone will commit suicide because they could not get an abortion?"
She instantly replied "yes."
Then she added "there will be all those boyfriends and husbands that murder them because they couldn't get one too" and that shook my fucking world.
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.
The majority of Americans support Roe v. Wade.
Making abortions illegal won't make them go away. It will only make them more dangerous, more expensive, and lead to the criminalization of poor women and women of color and others who need abortions.
