If condoms aren’t 100%, and birth control isn’t 100%, and abstinence doesn’t work, maybe the problem isn’t women getting pregnant. Maybe it’s men refusing accountability.
In 1998, I was fired from my corporate job while 9 months pregnant because and I quote, “my priorities would be elsewhere after the baby is born.”
The lawyer I hired told me I didn’t have a case because discrimination like “that” was almost impossible to prove.
So I got pissed.
Took the LSAT. Went to law school. Passed the bar. Had 3 more kids.
Twelve years later, another woman from that same company was fired for the same reason. She sued them for a million dollars, and won, partly because I had kept every piece of evidence from what happened to me years prior demonstrating a systemic pattern of discrimination against women.
That company no longer exists. My law practice is thriving. And that baby they said would derail my priorities? She’s a brilliant attorney now working at my firm.
Turns out my priorities were indeed, elsewhere.
They'll call a 10-year-old rape victim a "mother."
They'll call a non-viable fetus a "baby."
They'll call a life-saving abortion "murder."
This isn't medicine. It's propaganda to punish women for having sex.
Hi, so the woman who carried and gave birth to me was 13 years old, celebrated her 14th birthday only days before I was born. I should’ve been aborted. It’s really terrible that she was made to carry and birth a baby while she was a child herself.
Am I happy to be alive? Yes. Absolutely. Very happy to be here. Would I be mad had I been aborted? No, I wouldn’t exist, I wouldn’t feel anything. I shouldn’t exist. She was a child. The lives of girls/women are more valuable than fetuses.
@soigomaa "Son of a bitch" is supposed to be an insult towards a man, but why attach his awfulness to a woman when he can be awful all on his own accord?
@ma1ybe The key sentence is that “he thought” and he was wrong. Certain men need to stop making assumptions about women based on looks alone… it’s making them look and act real fucking stupid.
Then they wonder why they’re lonely.
