    Ok, choice is important and right and all, but let’s not laugh at the idea of consciously dying babies.

      Ok, but let’s laugh at the people who think of a fetus as a conscious baby speaking in full sentences while being snapped out of existence by Thanos.

      About 90% of abortions are performed before 12 weeks, well before the fetus could even look like a post-birth baby like the one depicted in the meme. This is a common tactic of anti-choicers to depict abortion as being performed on fully formed and almost born fetuses. They try to use edge cases to argue against unrelated and more common experiences. Fetuses aren’t conscious or sentient or viable when most abortions are performed. Don’t let them get away with disingenuously conflating those concepts and milestones.

        They look like a tablespoon of strawberry jam.

        Source: I’ve assisted in quite a few abortions.

         

        …apologies if I just ruined strawberry jam for you.

          …now I want an English muffin with some strawberry jam. But also I want to purchase, open, and put the jam on it myself without ever breaking eye contact with the jar so as to avoid accidentally injesting not jam.
