Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

If there was somehow a way to biologically make the rapist carry the child instead, and make them go through with the pregnancy after a sophisticated medical procedure and then be obligated in all these legal ways for the life of the child after the pregnancy and birth, do you think they'd be in favor of changing the law to make that mandatory by court order?
Or do you think it would all of a sudden be very very complicated, and that person's bodily autonomy even despite the crime they committed would be super important all of a sudden?
I know what I suspect about it.
That sounds really good to me! Except the part where the child is being cared for by a rapist, in such a case, better off aborted.
actions are a language. Some people speak love. Some people speak power. It is ok to speak back in the language you are spoken to.
..and yes.. .. better off with abortion in that case.
one of the things about sovereignty - Nobody may force you to anything without potentially enduring those consequences themselves.
with abortion, the action is to refuse to feed and to cut someone off. The only response someone else could reasonably "attack" with in reply would be to cut you off.
Any right we refuse to grant another, we may find taken from us. It is justified to kill those who are actually trying to kill you.
"trying to kill you," though, does not include cutting you off. Nobody has to feed you, nobody has to give to you from their own energy or life, even if it kills you. Those things are gifts of society or individuals who care (or are guilted enough to motivate them). When someone cuts you off, the only right you get from that is to cut them off - which you already have.
