The "I Can't Believe There's No Abortion Thread" Part Deux: Electric Boogaloo

Ohio: aborted fetuses now must be buried or cremated.
 
My stepfather is vehemently against abortion.

Starting next week, Planned Parenthood is getting a small monthly donation in his name.
 
You say that like women could ever decide without our help. Trust me, just aske them what they want for dinner.




I'll see myself out now.
 
Probably not coincidence the billboards around the Grand Rapids area saying crap like "I had eyes at X days" feature all white babies.
 
Passed a small group of pro-birth chucklefucks protesting outside a Planned Parenthood. Didn't honk, didn't shoot the finger, just kept driving.

Honking or the finger would have been what they wanted.

This has been added to my vocabulary. It is exactly the word for those people -- equally dismissive and mocking. We had them at my wife's health clinic in Maryland.

I used to love infiltrating these groups just to hear them talk among themselves (old white maleness -- it's Ninja camouflage for racism and stupidity). The grossness and stupidity they show to the public is a tenth of what they are when they think nobody's listening.

Pro life whites are, and I know this will come as a shock, INCREDIBLY racist. I mean unreconstructed Klan level racist. It's so gross, too, because often black loonies join them (Zombie Cult's huge with black people in MD/VA) and as soon as they are out of earshot whitey pro-lifer is insulting them and laughing about them.

The best argument against the theory that conservatives are sincere and have a commitment to an equally valid political theory is listening to them for ten minutes when they're "safe."
 
And it turns out that group protests that clinic every Tuesday. Some women in there.

Either way, keep on driving. Don't give them the attention they desperately want.

Read a bumper sticker with "If you accept Roe vs. Wade, you reject science."

Que?

I think they’re going for the sales point (and I haven’t researched the truth of them, though I doubt they’re valid) of women who have had abortions have higher breast cancer rates, higher rates of depression, and a host of other maladies.
 
Actually, I'm pretty sure anyone with that bumper sticker is devoted enough to think the science supports the idea of life at conception.
 
Maybe you can help me with my coursework:

Ethical dilemma of a 13 year old girl who found out she was pregnant (at least the 3 OTC tests told her) and told her social worker. The girl trusts no one else but the social worker. Girl hasn't gone to any doctors and hasn't told her parents (she doesn't trust them), but I can tell girl wants an abortion. Should the SW violate trust (she cited confidentiality principles) and tell her parents?

SW should never violate client's trust unless her health is seriously in danger. SW should talk to client, advise her of the law, answer all questions, be supportive. If SW has a statutory requirement to inform parents, she should advise client of this and talk to her honestly about what the client can expect.

For example, say client lives in some medieval Republican state like TX that passes a law that SW must tell parents and authorities if she "has a reasonable suspicion client has the intention of seeking an abortion." SW should immediately tell client this and advise her that all of their conversations should be about a theoretical person who may face this situation in the future.

Never ever violate your client's trust unless it is for her physical well-being. Your client is more important than the state.

Unless legally obligated to do so, no.

The SW should know the law well enough to evade it.

People > Nazis. I advise SW not to break the law because I don't want her arrested, tortured, and murdered in prison by the right wingers who draw up these laws. As for the law itself, I could not care less about violating its spirit. It is an act of violence by legislators who are only in power through criminality. No law passed by Republicans has ethical value any longer. We know what you are.

End the Right. Save the world.
