I’m not kidding about this.

I don’t give a fuck if you’re pro-life, as long as you keep it out of my sex life. But one thing that will not stand if you dare compare it to genocide or slavery.

First of all, my family escaped from a genocide in a tiny boat where people jumped in water just to get away from gunfire. My father had to hide in little tiny bushes while soldiers were inches away literally slaughtering babies and raping women. Don’t you DARE tell me that it’s comparable to abortion.

My aunt is the best mother I have ever known. She has sacrificed her entire life to take care of three children, one of them who is blind and autistic. The Canadian government refused to assist them and allow them to stay in Canada, so they had to go back to Bangladesh where my cousin does not have the therapy and education he needs in order to be better. My aunt has worked her entire life just to take care of their children and to make ends meet. She has been through a genocide when she was 5 years old, wondering for 6 months if her father was alive or not as he was looking for work in a dangerous area where you could get shot at sight if you dare to be Bangladeshi.

She had an abortion. Why? Because if the fetus were to be born, they would have died hours after. She didn’t want that torture and trauma. There was nothing that could have worked. Don’t you dare tell me that all of that, all of this hardship, she is required to stay in jail. Because right now she’s on her feet taking care of her children, and you’re on your lily white ass writing “SO TRUE!” on posts about the supposed abortion holocaust. You pathetic fucks need to stay out of WoC that are working day and night just to get money in order to feed themselves. You need to stay out of a single mother’s life and how she has to haul her baby every single day to work while rich white men pass bills that limit daycare and welfare opportunities for the very women you try to demonize.

They can’t win. Afterwards, neither will you. I promise you that.
