Conservatives are at it again. Criminalizing women who do abortions instead to attend more pressing issues like the rate of unemployment, the fragile electrical system, schools in bad conditions, etc. No, the government waste their time in this. The worse is the governor of PR, who is a woman with two twins, wants to impose this bill. Well I think this is bill is already approved.

What pisses me off the most about this stuff, is that "fetal personhood" shouldn't even matter, if we respected women's right to do what they want with their bodies. But because women are always expected to put literally everyone, including not-even-fully-formed human fetuses, before themselves, the autonomy of the woman is never even registered as a concept... Men will never be put into a scenario like this, it doesn't matter how many hypothetical arguments someone makes ala "the pianist" or whatever, men do not care. They view themselves as human beings who have a right to human dignity, and women as literal vessels. Vessels do not have a say in what cargo they carry. That is how men view it.

The notion of them romanticizing "fetal personhood" is so rich too, since it is extremely often the right-wing "personal responsibility" greedy assholes who hate helping mothers/children who are adamant about how abortion is "baby murder." In the words of George Carlin: "if you're pre-born you're fine, if you're pre-school you're fucked."

When men contribute equally to childbirth then they can have an equal say in the outcome and not before. To humanize a fertilized egg is to dehumanize the woman who carries it. But as Nick Fuentes has memorably clarified, that is the whole point: "Your body, my  choice. Forever." Think about that. What you have just read is an articulation of motherhood as a weapon of power and control.

If personhood trumps another person's basic human right to bodily autonomy, then maybe we can also force biological fathers to donate their kidney or a lung to their child.
