Perhaps the most disturbing cultural trend I have seen in the last 5 years is the destruction of childhood innocence in an attempt to validate adults.

Last Friday, my minor daughter and I were in Marshall's. She went to the dressing room to try on delicates. While she was in the dressing room, she heard a male voice in the changing room next door. She froze, unsure of how to proceed. I came in shortly after to check on her. I heard him too. He was over 6ft tall, talking loudly, and in a dressing stall with someone else. Based on their conversation, he wasn't trying on clothes. He was there for he thrill of it. I loudly stated, "No men should be in this dressing room." Other women there vocally agreed. He and his friend giggled, clearly enjoying the discomfort of girls and women. This is what the breakdown of societal safeguarding does. This shit has to end. Young ladies should not have to game plan how they are going to remain safe and private form the male gaze on women's spaces. To their credit, when I alerted a Marshall's employee to the situation, they went in to escort him out.

Ler me explain Charlie Kirk's reaction to her question, "Have you jerked off to me," and why it is the most profound thing you may see on the internet today. The emotion you saw filter across Charlie's face was pain. He was pained by the insensitivity regarding the damages porn caused in his life. It has wounded his soul and he is being very open and transparent about that. He was also pained by her lack of self-respect. In that moment, she was attempting to gain power by objectifying herself, as if her value is in being exploited by men. In an instant, Charlie processed all of that. Then, he responded in truth and grace. He refused to take the bait and lose his focus to the accuser of souls (Satan). Rather than allow evil to corrupt her further and steal his self-control, he protected her as well as himself. He directly confronted the devil by calling referencing her true Creator and her humanity. You could see it in her reaction. She was surprised he affirmed her worth rather than following her lead to reduce them both to depravity and objectification. There is a spiritual battle here and THAT is what Charlie was attending to. This wasn't about politics. This wasn't about winning a debate. He recognized in that momemt she was being held captive by the lies of the oppressor and he tended to her soul, even whilst the oppressor attempted to accuse him through her. This is what a true gentleman looks like. This is what actual masculinity is. Dear Lord, I wish there was a Charlie Kirk who had done that for me when I was involved in pornography. I wish just one man had refused to join in the degredation of my, and his, soul; and had offered me hope and restored my true worth.

Our culture is still so aggressively anti-female that we continue to treat pregnancy like a burden on employeers rather than an inherent and necessary part of humanity. Without women, there wouldn't be employers or employees.

"Are you not going to say anything about this thing I did for which you bear no responsibility?" No. "How dare you!" He was set up to fail.

I am truly over the abortion and rape narratives. Let me break this down for you. Rape is an abomination. I was molested as a child and raped twice as a teen. I am intimately acquainted with the horrors of rape. Recovery from the trauma of rape requires resiliency, social supports, and often counseling. Abortion does absolutely nothing to treat the trauma of rape. It doesn't prevent rape. It doesn't stop rape. It doesn't cure rape. It doesn't make the rape disappear for the victim. The only links between abortion and rape are: 1) Abortion punishes the woman's reproductive system for reacting to stimuli and a woman's child for existing. 2) Rapists use abortion in an attempt to erase what they see as "evidence" of their crimes. If you are out here claiming women need abortion because of rape, you are lying to them. Abortion will do nothing to resolve the rape. It will dismantle their reproductive system and kill their child, but the trauma of the rape will remain. You are also harming the secondary victims of rape, the children born after being conceived via rape. You are placing the trauma caused by a man unto them as if they are the rapist. You are defining them by the actions of a rapist. You are suggesting they deserve death because of what a rapist did. Now, I am not suggesting complications during pregnancy can never be traumatic. They absolutely can. My hyperemesis in my 3rd pregnancy was extremely traumatic. It nearly caused me to have a mental breakdown. I considered suicide. My son is now 14 and worth every second of pain I went through. I would do it all again to have him in my life. There need to be more supports for women experiencing trauma during pregnancy. Abortion doesn't support women. It undoes them and abandons them. Abortion is not a mental health treatment. It will not cure trauma caused by complications during pregnancy. At best, it will avoid processing and healing of trauma while possibly adding additional trauma due to the death of a child. Post-traumatic growth never requires the harm of another victim to bring about healing and recovery.

I have had an abortion. Abortion is human sacrifice. My child died. That is a fact. Why did he die? His life was sacrificed to further the lie that women's healthy reproductive systems are oppressive and children are a burden. Abortion has been the largest and most deadly MLM scheme in all of human history. Women who have abortions must convince themselves and other women it is our birthright to sacrifice our children to accomodate a male normative society.

It's official! We pulled our kids from their online school today. We're 100% homeschooling! Our kids are so excited about lesson plans for this week. They're also excited for what we'll be adding in weeks to come. They can't wait to learn. The freedom is contagious.

I murdered my child. That is a fact. No amount of equivocation about the value or worth of my child based on his level of development, amount of life experience, dependency, age, location, or abilities will change that fact. He was alive before the abortion and dead after.

I regret my abortion.

I am struggling today with the awareness that the daughter we miscarried was thrown out with biohazard waste. The lab refused to return her to us for burial. How we treat pregnancy loss matters.

Let me make this very, very clear. I have a lot of compassion for any individual who has DSD (Differences of Sex Disorder). My heart breaks for those who wrestle with learning they are the opposite biological sex or are infertile. My compassion ends when a biological male who has known for over a year he is a male decides to step into a ring and punch a woman in the face. My rage begins when, after he wins because she puts her safety above her dreams, he stares her down and grabs her breast. No amount of "he was just trying to shake on it" will erase the aggressiveness with which he pursued her and refused to stop even when she admitted defeat. Her body language was clear. She wanted away from him. He refused to take his win with grace and walk away. After grabbing her, he made no effort to apologize. If a biological woman had done that, I would still be calling it out. People can spend hours discussing genitalia, as if anyone knows (we don't) or has a right to know (we don't.) All that tells me is that it has never been the gender critical side that has been obsessed about genitalia. We are the side of science. DNA does not lie. People can call me whatever the hell they want. Send me threats. Spam my account. Fill my notifications with harrassment. IDGAF. I do not have toxic empathy where my judgment is clouded by my feelings, fear of being treated poorly, or a desire to fit in.

This video is remarkable. It is not often you see the raw emotion of a new level of connection happen before your eyes. The quivers of her lower lip are not sadness or fear, they are quivers of overwhelming love, relief, and wonder. She didn't know she needed to hear her mama until she could. This baby can't yet understanding what hearing even is, but this baby understands the value of hearing her mama. Take nothing for granted in your loving relationships. Every sound, every glimpse, every touch is a sacred exchange that cannot be replicated or replaced.

So did all her friends.

Watch how he eyes her up and smacks her breast after he is declared the winner. He is a predator.

To believe in transgenderism, you must believe: - somewhere inside us is a thing called "gender" - gender can be opposed to our healthy biology - gender is more real and accurate than healthy biology This is a religion, not a science.

The irony is that Handmaiden's Tale was about babies being taken from their mother's who wanted them, even after being raped. It was about the impoverished class losing their babies to the elite and infertile class. Remind me again, who says impoverished women need to abort, be rid of, their babies?

I started out moderate on trans issues in 2019. I was open to social transitioning of children. I was fine with using preferred pronouns the majority of the time. I was fine with adults transitioning using whatever private insurance would cover it and private funds. I wanted single stall or gender neutral bathrooms added to public buildings, so those who are trans had a safe option without compromising women. I wanted an open category in sports so anyone could compete without compromising women's sports. I have never been for affirmation therapy because affirmation isn't therapy. I wanted therapy to continue to be exploratory therapy, as it has always been regardless of identity. Guess what, I still got called a bigot, transphobe, homophibe, fascist, racist, etc., etc., etc. Since then, I was slowly pushed away until I became gender critical. What peaked me? - Men who claim to be women refusing to listen to the concerns of women they wanted to be welcomed by - watching ROGD grow exponentially in my field and being gaslit that it wasn't happening - watching detransitioners be attacked for simply telling their story or wanting the option to sue for the wrong they felt was done to them - women being raped in prisons whole being gaslit that it isn't happening - women/girls losing scholarships and awards to biological males in women's only sports - receiving threat after threat because I have concerns about the sterilization of children and women's safety - witnessing children being removed from their parents by the state because their parents wanted to be cautious about permanent medical intervention - girls getting assaulted in school bathrooms and being gaslit that it wasn't happening - witnessing the media lie over and over again about the risks of suicide related to gender dysphoria as well as the appropriate treatment for suicidal ideation (it isn't hormones or surgery) - watching as those with the loudest voices in the trans movement advocated for the age of consent to be lowered and lowered, regardless of the risks this put children at. - watching lobbyiest for the trans movement demand compelled speech - witnessing the transmovement shift from gender transition to "transwomen are women" - individuals who were not my patients attempted to get my license revoked because they have deemed psychotherapy "conversion therapy" Since being peaked, I have done a deep dive into the history of and funding of the trans movement. It was eye-opening. I will not support a transhumanist ideology, especially one that aims it's sights primarily at children in tax-payer funded schools for indoctrination That being said, I am still mostly of the opinion that adults can do whatever they want to their body as long as the medical community is willing to do it. I am also open to the idea that cosmetic surgery, without any medical indication, should be banned. I am no longer in favor of any transitioning of any child. I am also opposed to forced detransitioning. I am opposed to any intervention being forced. I am no longer interested in preferred pronouns. Call yourself whatever you want. I will refer to you however I please. I want anything related to sexuality, any sexuality, out of schools other than biology based sex education. I wanted women's spaces and sports to remain strictly female. I still want single stall bathrooms and/or gender neutral bathrooms added to public places, without removing women's only bathrooms. I am still open to an open category in sports, as long as the women's category remains strictly female. I have no illusions or hopes that the trans movement would consider any of this a compromise. The irradication of biological sex as the basis for reality is the goal of the trans movement, along with the irradication of womanhood and rhe sexualization of children. If you want to place blame somewhere for the shift away from your definition of "moderate", place it squarely on the shoulders of the trans movement.

Twitter Confession: From a very personal perspective, I am livid we are doing research on the properties of forced male lactation when we still do not have answers for mothers who want to breastfeed and are struggling. I am also livid anyone anywhere would research whether or not men can successfully get pregnant via uterus transplant (spoiler alert: it takes so much more than a uterus to support pregnancy) when so many women are battling infertility. As a matter of priorities, we should be focusing on when illness, disease, or genetic mutation prevents healthy functioning prior to looking into how to break healthy biology.

It is absolutely wild to me that people have no issue demanding vacation leave, sick leave, health insurance, dental insurance, vision coverage, etc but think it is absurd we should also support women literally doing the work to supply the next generstion of employers, employees, and consumers. Maternity leave isn't a personal vacation. It is a societal vocation. Women are providing the only essential element to future success in the workplace: humans. Yet, we act like they are draining us of our resources. We are so short-sighted.

Now imagine a rape survivor facing a man in her restroom.

The quote pictured below is a true statement. Equivocating about whether or not we should or shouldn't allow it affirms it's accuracy.

I am done with the strawmanning argument employed to attempt to shut down women setting a boundary, "How many men have assaulted women in restrooms." I am not making any claims about how many men assault women in restrooms. I have a right to privacy. I have a right to spaces free from men, no matter how they identify, in which to manage private, biological matters. No one else has the right to take away my right to determine consent, give away my right to determine consent, or consent on my behalf. That is it. That is the statement.

Fact: abortion killed my son. There is no cope or seething. I am not making an emotional statement. Just stating a fact. It is a fact a lot of people don't want to deal with. That doesn't change its accuracy.

I beg women in America to look into Afghanistan. Please, get a grip on what being a handmaiden really looks like. Or, at least read the damn book. The women in the book, despite being raped, desperately wanted to keep their babies.

Was there not a single, solitary woman available to weigh in on the impacts of autogynophelia on females? None?

Abortion did kill my son. It is traumatic & I regret it daily. No amount of gaslighting about what our eyes really see or what was happening in my body will change that. If left alone, he could be 20 years old today. His death, while in my control, isn't empowering. It's tragic.

Even if I lost all my primary and secondary sex organs, I would still be a woman. Every cell in my body is coded female. Even of you try to deconstruct language, I will remain female. You can toss around "cis" all you want. It means nothing. I am an adult female human. You can never change that. You can try to qualify the noun "woman" with all kinds of adjectives. Men won't ever become women and I won't ever stop being a woman.

I can't do it anymore guys. I can't. I cannot pretend prochoice vs. prolife is about women versus babies. It isn't. It is about society versus families. Abortion doesn't save women. It doesn't stop or fix rape. It doesn't end poverty. It doesn't stop domestic violence. It doesn't do anything except undo women's healthy biology, kill her child, and send her right back to whatever circumstances she came from. Sure, if she just doesn't want to be pregnant, it ends pregnancy. Why doesn't she want to be pregnant though. The replies are along the lines of, "Fuck you. It doesn't matter. It is her choice and right." Ok. Thank you for telling me you care about abortion, not women. This is what is being offered as the savior for women? This is our freedom? This is our equality? This is the answer we are being offering for children living in poverty, abuse, or neglect? Just pre-emptively guess their fate and kill them? This is what we are being offered as a way to address maternal mortality? Don't attempt to make advancements that address complications that arise in pregnancy, just blame women's biology and kill her kid? I do not accept that this is the best we can do for women, children, or families. I do not accept that to be free, equal, and safe women have to turn against their biology and their children.

You are still doing it, Joyce. You are actively mocking my natural nervous system response to men in my private and safe spaces. Rape is overwhlemingly committed by men, Joyce. That is the issue. It is not upon women to shield men from other men. It is not up women to determine which man is going to harm her in her private spaces. Trans is not the issue. Men in women's private and safe spaces is the issue, not matter how they identity.

10 things I learned about trans activists today: 1) They think women who are rape survivors should be responsible for men’s safety. 2) They think calling women derogatory names will somehow convince women trans ideology is safe. 3) The reduce womanhood to an appearance, self-ID, or whatever a man says womanhood is. 4) The think that women being raped by women is a reason to allow men into women's bathrooms. 5) Men's feelings matter. Women's do not. 6) They think attempts to gaslight women about biological sex is an effective way to prove trans ideology is safe for women. 7) The think ridiculing women who have survived rape represents and supports men who think they are women. 8) They are unwilling to consider the idea that men are responsible for problems men have with other men. 9) The think evoking terms like "far-right", "phobic", or "bigot" are going to convince a rape survivor that she needs to allow men access to her in vulnerable spaces. 10) The believe one woman can consent on behalf of another. I am more convinved than ever the trans movement is a deeply misogynistic destructive force created by those who want to destroy the fabric of society, harm women, and harm children. Well done, trans activists.

If you were prochoice and are now prolife, tell me why. I will go first: Science changed my mind as I studied embryology. God changed my heart as He forgave me for my abortion and healed my broken heart.

You are welcome to your subjective opinion on attractiveness. I am a woman, though. And they never will be.

My youngest daughter is 8. I would put you so deep in the earth you could greet Satan as you enter hell if you attempted to treat her like cattle. I am the pacifist of the family. Imagine what her father would do. Cultures that fail to protect their children from such men are bankrupt in every conceivable way.

I have a fear of men who lie and disrespect women's boundaries. Having a fear of men lying about their biological sex to gain access to women in vulnerable spaces or sports is healthy and normal. So, your attempts to emotionally manipulate me or shame me will have zero impact.

Controversial opinion: Mandatory homework is where we introduce and then reinforce the idea of taking work home with you and focusing on it rather than family, leisure, or exercise. We are teaching children a horrible work/life balance.

This is a blatant lie and is so harmful for women. This woman died because of an abortion. She had fetal tissue remaining in her body after a medication abortion. It is not a felony to perform a D&C in Georgia. It is a felony to perform an abortion in Georgia. She already had the abortion. She presented to the hospital the next day with complications from the abortion, which journalists never seem to want to talk about. It is almost as if they are more interested in pushing their agenda eather than telling the truth, even if it meams putting women's lives at risk with misinformation. The baby was already dead and mostly evicted from the mother's body. The article makes it clear we don't know why a D&C was not done. There could be any number of reasons, including malpractice. However, the law is not the reason. D&C to complete the passing of a dead baby is not illegal in Georgia. In this case, there wasn't a heartbeat as only some fetal tissue remained. This intention spread of misinformation is egregious, antiwoman, and increases risks of women being scared to seek medical help when it is needed. abortionfinder.org/abortion-…

To those who were conceived during rape, You are not "the rapist's child". You are not a problem or burden. You are not responsible for the trauma caused to your biological mother by your biological father. You are every bit as worthy of dignity and respect as anyone else.

These types of ads are made because the lies within them are difficult for people to understand. Let me try to break it down for you. 1) Treatment for miscarriage is NOT an elective abortion. /1

Can someone explain to me like I am 5 why it is legal for a company you signed a mortgage contract with to sell your mortgage without consulting you or gaining your consent to a company you do not want to do business with?

You may think it is hilarious to belittle a rape survivor's nervous system when she is in a vulnerable space with a man violating her boundaries. It may not have occured to you, Joyce, but no man has been raped by an armadillo. Yet, 1 out of 3 women will be raped by a man in her lifetime. Your choice of when to employ empathy and when to withhold it is telling.

I am right here, Joyce. The rape survivor trying to tell you we have an automatic nervous system response to men in our bathrooms. The one you compared with men afraid of armadillos. This isn't a matter of politicization. This is a matter of women's rights to privacy and safety. Men, no matter how they identify or present, do not have a right to demand women shield them from other men. Argue for them to have their own spaces all you want. You do not get to consent on my behalf for a man to access my safe spaces. Are you aware of the threats, calls for me to commit suicide, insults, and vitriol the men you are defending have been hurling at me all day since you decided to mock me? Perhaps consider whether you are offering the same compassion to rape survivors as you are to the men threatening rape survivors.

I think that may have been what was going on in this situation too. One woman can't consent for the rest of us.

I am convinced Dems are so far up the rear end of Planned Parenthood they don't even get how retraumarizing that ad is for women who have experienced pregnancy loss, and not because of abortion laws. They don't seem to understand that pregnancy loss isn't just traumatic because it can be scary and physically painful. The loss of your child inside your own body is devastating. Women's bodies should be the safest place for their offspring in the first 9-10 months of life. Many women feel like their own body is damaged or broken because they couldn't save their baby. The loss isn't a loss of some potential being. The loss is a loss of a veey real human they already deeply loved. I cried so much yesterday with both rage and grief after seeing that ad. My miscarriage was devastating. The trauma caused by medical professionals who referred to my daughter as "a pile of goo" took years to heal from. The trauma caused by my employer that said, "it isn't like you lost a child or anything" I may never get over. I haven't been able to work for an employer since. It is one of the reasons I run my own practice. Women who have actually experienced pregnancy loss aren't going to feel seen and heard by a party that exploits their situation to propagate a lie and fearmonger for votes.

My abortion story (a thread): I was 23 year-old monogamist hippy the summer I learned my boyfriend of over a year had cheated on me. I actually went to Planned Parenthood for STD testing because things were amiss. That was one and only reason for making the appointment. /1

The misogyny around female biology is growing. "Forced to give birth" is a misogynistic statement. Giving birth is what female bodies do. It is not a punishment. The idea that women need to escape our bodies is so disturbing.

You are not qualified to determine what is best for my kids.

As a woman who has had an abortion, do you know what hurts more than acknowledging the death of my child? People trying to convince me my child didn't die. You aren't helping me or protecting me by denying my offspring existed.That is called gaslighting and it is narcissistic.

Twitter Confession: Last night I cried for about an hour in the solitude of my room. My oldest daughter is turning 17 next month. I am so very proud of her. She is a remarkable young lady. I have no fear about her future. I cried because she is one of my favorite people to spend time with and the days of guaranteed interactions are coming to a close. Don't get me wrong. She is a wonderful and loving daughter. She won't abandon her father and I. We will always have her in our lives. It is the comfort of knowing I will see her countenance everyday, hear her voice throughout my home, and feel her footsteps on the stairs that I will be losing. I live in both rapt anticipation of how bright her future will be and anticipatory grief of the loss of our daily connection. Parenting is a journey of the heart.

The absolute last thing a child with suicidal ideation needs is an ideology or critical theory telling them their worth is in their identity markers, they are victims of oppression, and their mental/emotional stability depends on society rather than resides within themselves.

A man's identity is not the responsibility of women to affirm, uphold, or engage with. Identity is a sense of self. If your identity relies on the participation of others, you do not have an identity. You have codependency.

If abortion was healthcare, abortion providers would do a proper intake, screening, informed consent, ongoing management, and follow up care. What abortion really looks like is a profit mill were women walk in trying to find solutions for ongoing struggles and get sold a story about freedom from their bodies and burdens, are disembodied from their now or soon to be deconstructed reproductive system, separated from their now dead child or given pills to ensure that violent separation, and sent back to whatever circumstances they came from to manage outcomes on their own. It is the lowest and laziest version of care available and we celebrate it as a gift to women.

This is not why I am prolife. I am prolife because I think violence against humans is wrong. In order to get there, I did have to take ownership that my actions killed a human. It was devastating and debilitating for a time. I have received healing and been forgiven.

We live in a culture where a famous author, @JoyceCarolOates, is deeply concerned about the nervous system of a cat whose owner, they know and love, is cosplaying a cat. Yet, she belittles actual rape survivor's, myself included, whose nervous system reacts the same way to men they don't know cosplaying women in women's restrooms. She compares women who have survived rape to men afraid of armadillos. 91% of sexual assault survivor's are women. 99% of perpetrators are men. Zero men have been raped or secually assaulted by an armadillo. nitter.app/JoyceCarolOates/status… nitter.app/JoyceCarolOates/status… humboldt.edu/supporting-surv…

When you compare a child with disabilities to a "dog that needs to be put down," you have lost the plot.

Harms caused by gender identity to women and children: - The 1st harm is the request women and children ignore their instincts telling them there is a man present. - The 2nd harm is the request women and children ignore their nervous system response telling them there is danger when a man demands you lie to yourself. - The 3rd harm is the demand for compelled speech. - The 4th harm is positioning men's feelings over the safety of women and children as a moral necessity. - The 5th is the attempt to silence dissent via the character assassination that comes with calling a woman or child who refuses to compromise their own integrity names that invoke loathing toward that women or child: phobic, bigot, cruel, mean, or hateful. - The 6th harm is demanding access to female spaces, biolating our privacy and safety. - The 7th harm is demanding access to female sports violating: privacy, safety, fair competition, prizes/rewards/scholarships, data regarding stats, and opportunities. - The 8th harm is the creation of false data in stats regarding crimes committed. - The 9th harm is forcing survivors of assault to refer to their perpetrators by inaccurate identifying information, making it easier for predators to evade prosecution, conviction, and sentencing as well as further demoralizing the survivors. - The 10th harm is grooming children to disembody and hate themselves. - The 11th harm is pathologizing puberty and healthy biological processes, telling childfen they are being harmed by their healthy bodies. - The 12th harm is the lack of actual mental healthcare for children suffering from distress related to their healthy biology. - The 13th harm is putting children on puberty blockers, forever affecting their growth and health. - The 14th harm is putting children on cross-sex hormones, forever affecting their growth, health, and fertility as well as deeply impacting their mood and mental well-being. - The 15th harm is cutting off healthy body parts of children, creating medical patients at odds with their body's attempts to heal for the rest of their lives. - The 16th harm is the lack of medical support for detransitioners who wish to undo the harm done to their bodies. - The 17th harm is the lack of mental health support for detransitioners who wish to recover from the trauma they have experienced due to a culture that pathologized their healthy biology. - The 18th harm is the lack of acknowledgement of the ongoing dysphoria that occurs in those whoa ttempt to transition because no one can change sex. They can never achieve that which they are told is possible: a fully functioning body of the opposite sex. - The 19th harm is the presentation of euphoria as a sustainable state of existence for any human, creating addiction in already vulnerable populations. - The 20th harm is the deterioration of public trust in experts and institutions as the majority rely on ideology rather than science or common sense. What did I miss? Tell me the harms you have experienced due to the pseudoreligious cult of gender.

The claim Mr. Wu is making is that correctly identifying his biological sex is dehumanizing. Take that in. He thinks his own biology is dehumanizing. And he wants you to feel bad for him because he is at war with his own body. Do not get sucked in. He is not a victim of his own biology. He may be suffering. I have compassion for that. But his suffering will not be alleviated by attempting to erase biological reality from our laws, language, or culture. That will result in every single woman and child being put at risk. We are NOT meat legos. We are NOT a collection of feelings in a meat sack. We are embodied human beings.

I don't care where a man works, what he does for a living, how many brain scans he has had, or who he is connected to. He will always be a man. This man has 2 children who are being dragged along on his odyssey of self-indulgence. They are the ones paying for his choices. They are just one reason why I will not affirm his delusions. They deserve a strong father who knows what it means to be a man. Parents are responsible for their children's emptional well-being, not the other way around.

I was coerced into an abortion by a Planned Parenthood because I was a homeless addict in an abusive relationship. What happened after they handed me the brown bag? I was sent right back to addiction, homelessness, and my abusive relationship. They didn't help me. They just convinced me to kill my child.

Wait? What? What are families with multiple children supposed to do in 2020? Offer them as tribute at the alter of antinatalism?

91% of sexual assault victims are women. 99% of perpetrators are male. Women are not shields for men afraid of other men. Men should not expect women to fix a men's issue. humboldt.edu/supporting-surv…

She is celebrating killing her disabled child. This is not healthcare. This is eugenics.

They can let human trafficking of children on, but not a NY Post article?

Prayers Needed! My 10 yr old son told us tonight that he sometimes thinks about killing himself. He said one bad thought leads to another and another and another. This is my same cycle. It is terrifying to hear this from him because I know what a miracle it is I am still alive.

If you think the fact that women need differential treatment due to their natural biology is "special treatment", you must believe male biology is the norm and standard we must conform to.

It appears some of you are unaware of what a public declaration of accountability, repentance, and denounciation looks like. So, let me provide an example: I took part in the death of my son. My hands put the abortion pills into my mouth. I swallowed them. He died. It was the source of my deepest shame and continues to be my biggest regret. While there were others involved, I take full responsibility for my part in my son's death. I, alone, am responsible for my actions. I have confessed this transgression to everyone alive to whom the abortion personally harmed. I have received their forgiveness. I have prayed for God's forgiveness. I have been forgiven. I have repeatedly prayed that my son will know of my contrition and sorrow for the life I robbed him off and the relationships he will never have. I pray he forgives me. I have asked the community at large to know of my denounciation of abortion. Not out of a sense of hypocrisy. It was not right or just for me to take part in. In a just world, looking at my part alone my punishment should be death. We do not live in a just world. We live in a world of sinners (myself included) who may never be held to account for their transgressions. Short of justice from society, the only way I can even attempt to honor my son and bear witness to the harm done to him is to be honest about what happened to him and my role in it. I will spend the rest of my life attempting to protect other women and children from the atrocity I took part in. I have no desire to control women or shame them. I want more for them and their children than I gave to myself. It is only by the grace of God and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ that I am able to be free enough to speak of such a grave injustice and continue to live my life in assurance I am worthy (only because of what Jesus has done and my inheritance as a Child of God) of joy and peace. May you all find it in your hearts to recognize my faults and flaws as laid bare. May you not minimize them or pity me. May you take them into full account so the full weight of my sin is borne and washed clean. May you, even if you disagree with me about abortion, recognize the gravity of what was lost and the inability to secure restoration this side of heaven. Should you find it within your heart and/or mind to see me in the light of Christ rather than that which I brought upon myself, I am grateful for your mercy and grace, which I surely do not deserve and have not earned.

I have already shared my story of pro-choice to pro-life before, but here are the cliff notes. I was pro-choice from late teens to late 20s. A few hours after my first living child was born, I held her crying. I was crying because I could no longer run, hiding in denial, from the fact that an abortion I had in my early 20s had killed my child. I was terrified something would happen to my living daughter. That karma would get her. That I wouldn't be a safe mother. I tried for the next eight years or so to justify what had occurred during that abortion. Then, I sought help for the pain I was feeling. As I unpacked what I had gone through in that chemical abortion and what my child went through, a wrecking ball destroyed the lies in my mind and the walls in my heart. I wept. I grieved. I lamented. I repented. When I came out the other side of processing the trauma of abortion, I confronted the postpartum OCD I had been living with due to never ending fear of losing my children. I realized I could no longer remain silent in the face of the dehumanziation, degradation of female biology, and euphemisms of the abortion industry. Women are not better off with abortion. We are scapegoated by abortion. We deserve so much better. Our children deserve so much better.

Dear Anne Hathaway, Mercy is withholding a punishment that has been earned. For those with disabilities or terminal diagnoses, life is not a punishment. Abortion is not a mercy. What privilege it takes to suggest you or I get to decide for them if their life is worth living.

My experience with abortion is why I advocate for all women to feel safe in sharing their abortion story. Whether it is filled with grief, relief, sadness, regret, peace, etc.; we shouldn't silence women.

I realize much of the world has moved on. I am still processing the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I spent a few years completely misunderstanding and therefore misjudging Charlie. I am someone who is open to his "side" of politics and I still allowed out of context clips to influence my opinion of him. I have now dug into thousands of hours of his work. What a fool I was, an ignorant, arrogant, fool. When something like this happens, I don't let the opportunity to deconstruct my faults, that have been laid bare, pass me by. I dig in. I am still discerning what needs to change in me to further his message of peaceful dialogue, love thine enemies, and find common ground. I am still learning to look for the positivity in those I would normally write off as ignorant or foolish.

A 🧵 about how media is lying to you about pregnancy related deaths in order to scare you into voting a partiuclar way; If women were being denied care for life-threatening complications or refusal to deliver dead babies, we'd have 100,000s of deaths of women every year. /1

You know what would be a nice change of pace? If NBC had decided to focus on the missed diagnosis that could have been treated so this women didn't have to be on life support facing death. (She is NOT brain dead.) They had an opportunity to point out the malpractice that may have caused this woman's situation. Then, they could offer to start a fundraising campaign for this family and the baby girl. The baby girl that will have to live her whole life without her mother, who clearly wanted her. The baby girl who will grow up to be a teen who will read about how America debated whether her grandma should have had the choice to kill her, rather than have time to process the loss of her daughterwhile awaiting the arrival of her granddaughter. " Over and over we prioritize the emotions of adults over the lives of children.

It is pro-female, Celia. Puberty is also a natural biological state that permanently changes our body. This is why abortion was a precursor to trans. It is all transhumanist garbage aimed to pit people against their own humanity. I don't know where you got the idea that your body should never change. You may not like it, but your female biology isn't at war with you or a burden. The vilification and fear mongering of women's reproductive biology has been a part of the baked in sexism offered to women as if escaping from our biology is necessary to be equal, liberated, or successful. Women aren't inherently flawed or ticking time bombs. Women have amazing strength and the capacity to bring forth the next generation.

I am concerned there are a significant number of therapists gaslighting their clients into victimhood.

Self-ID is not what the trans movement actually wants. Them: You are cis. Me: I don't identify as cis. I am a woman. Them: Why are you so transphobic? What the movement wants is state-enforced compelled speech and the destruction of protected sex-categories.

Abortion literally killed her, and activist journalists frame it as a lack of abortion killed her. Is it any wonder confidence in media is at an all time low?

I cannot think of anything more physically intimate than a human being inside another human. The two times this happens are: 1) sexual acts 2) pregnancy. Our society treats the first like a taste test at an ice cream social and the second like a disease. We call that progress.

I will never stop regretting that day. I will never stop grieving my child. I will never stop speaking out as a mother, women, and licensed mental health professional about the damaging trauma of abortion. I look forward to the day I will meet my loved child: Jotham Eli. /14 End

Just a reminder that human zygotes, embryos, and fetuses are humans developing. They are not another species developing into humans.

You may think his death was justified by his dependency upon me or the circumstances around me at that time. Your moral and ethical evaluation is your own. It reveals your perspective, morals, ethics, and values. It has nothing to do with me or the reality that my child is dead.

I am so very angry and the lies women have been told for decades and we are told we have to keep swallowing them; all of them lies about our bodies and our roles as mothers.

As a Christian, I am genuiny appalled at the behavior I have seen the past week on X by people claiming to represent Christ. If you are not a Christian, please know that Christ speaks truth in love, not condescending schoolyard bullying. Christ values women as sisters, not outlets for porn addicted brains. God loves every single one of us. Not because of anything we have done or not done, but because we are His children. You are never too far from His saving grace. All He wants is a relationship with you, not a faux act of perfection iced with smug misogyny.

It is never too late to seek freedom from shame. It is always worth it to attempt whatever reconciliation and restoration may be possible. You are worthy of every bit of mercy, grace, and love I have received.

I am voting for Trump. If you believe that means I am a Nazi, fascist, or racist; I expect you to act like you believe it. What do I deserve for casting a vote for Trump? Be specific. Do I deserve to be mocked? Censored? Run out of business? Jailed? Killed? What behavior are you justified in pursuing against me because I am engaging in democracy and voting for a legal candidate on the ballot for U.S. President?

It is a time to pour out grace. It is a time to talk about boundaries and safety. It is a time to affirm his worth as a Child of God and my son.

Was there not a single, solitary woman available to weigh in on the impacts of autogynophelia on females? None?

Being a Christian, I also have experienced the forgiveness, reconciliation, restoration, mercy, grace, love, and hope that only can be found in the sacrifice made by Jesus Christ. That is the only source of strength and courage large enough to make it possible for me to face any of this.

I am feeling this. If I speak about my abortion regret, I receive death threats, rape threats, screams of internal misogyny, demands I be executed, demands I be imprisoned, etc., etc., etc. If I speak about my grief about my actual dead child, no one is offering me invites to chat about it on the evening news. If I talk about the coercion involved in my abortion, @CBSNews isn't calling to hear all about it with open-ended questions, empathy, and a "we believe you" attitude. Nope. I am told coercion doesn't happen, and I am called a liar. There is one side of the abortion debate that gets welcomed by main stream media, amd it isn't women in abortion recovery or abortion survivors.

What has God done for me? He has held my son, the one I killed in an abortion, in His hands for the past 24 years while chasing my heart, tearing down the lies about who and what I am, and deconstructing the walls I build to hide my shame. He died to take my punishment so I can live free. He offers, never forces, me a relationship and hope of reunification with the son I grieve. He has shown patience beyond human understanding. He has watched me make mistake after mistake, always waiting to hold me as the consequences of my own actions come crashing down around me. There is not a single human being living or dead that has loved me with the conviction of truth and mercy of grace God has shown me repeatedly, even when I hated Him for what others have done in His name. Humans call me names and belittle me for my faith, while he gives Himself unto death for me, a completely undeserving sinner. My faith cannot be shaken because He is the only one holding me together, unconditionally, while the world tries to tear itself apart. I am not special. I am not worthy. I am a child of God. My worth is in Him. He is special. He is worthy. He is the beginning and the end. That can't be taken from me.

TBC, our miscarriage was years ago. I was attending a reproductive loss event this week & it came back to me anew & raw. The grief journey is ongoing. Healing happens bit by bit. Reading the replies, this happens far too often. To all who have lost children, my heart is with you.

What is your base belief that lays the foundation on which you structure your worldview?

My reality: I regret my abortion. I regret my son's death. I regret that it was my hand that placed the pills in my mouth. I regret it was my decision to swallow the pills. I regret it took me 18 years and a lot of cope and seething to acknowledge what happened to my son.

This tweet was brought to you by a confused fusion of pre-reformation theology, meaningless political expedience, Bed Bath & Beyond , Dante, and Hollywood weekends.

Those who attempt to dehumanize my son do not help me. Whether it is their intent or not, they attempt to harm me in these ways: - minimizing what I lost that day - trivializing my grief - removing my agency - infantilizing me - projecting victimhood upon me - robbing me of the freedom from shame that comes from acknowledging biological truth, taking accountability, and seeking whatever reconciliation and restoration is possible.

And there it is. It was never about the extremely rare and devastating cases when a mother's life is at risk and her baby needs to be delivered, which is not illegal in any state. Brent's post was an exploitation of his daughter's unfortunate passing and his wife's horrific experience in an attempt to push a proabortion agenda. This is seriously disturbing behavior. His wife went through 5 weeks of bedrest trying to save their daughter (I experienced 8 months of bed rest. It is no picnic.) She was forced into a situation of needing immediate delivery (as was I but I was 32 weeks along). Her daughter, who she obviously deeply loved died. Her husband is making her daughter and her life a political football in a completely unnecessary way as no law prevents this type of delivery. Induction of labor to save a woman's life is not an abortion. It is an attempt to save both lives if at all possible. His daughter died because of a lack of medical advancements to assist a micropreemie at 20 weeks, not because of an abortion.

I am telling you, ladies. You are wading into deep waters with all of this victimology and consent chatter around Ms. Phillips. If women can't consent to having sex with 100 men because there must be something wrong, can we really argue women can consent to abortion, sterilization, IVF, or even pregnancy for that matter?

"A fetus is a potential human." No, my guy. Women can only be pregnant with actual human beings, not blobs of cells that magically become human when they meet some subjective criteria you have before you are willing to value a human. Look, you don't have to value an embryo or fetus. You can think they are worth less than [insert whatever here]. Your opinion of embryos and/or fetuses doesn't change their biology. They are human beings, whether you value them or not. The bodily autonomy argument depends upon this biological reality. It is the argument that the mother's autonomy is primary and supersedes and overrides rhe autonomy of the fetus. Support for mothers maintaining pregnancies depends upon this biological reality. Attempting to dehumanize or diminish the biological reality of an embryo or fetus doesn't change anyone's mind about abortion. What it does do is diminish the rights of mothers who are trying to have healthy pregnancies for themselves and their babies. Standard ultrasounds during pregnancy aren't done primarily because the mother is a patient. They are done because the baby is a patient. The ultrasound is being done to detect anything that could be going wrong with the baby. You know, that human the mother is trying to protect and nurture. Again, argue for the prochoice position all you want. Don't degrade mothers and children in the process. It isn't necessary and only reveals eugenics and elitism.

Biden claimed 3 trimesters is: 1st) between woman and doctor 2nd) between a doctor and a difficult situation 3rd) between the woman and the state As a woman who has been pregnant 6 times, I am shocked the trimesters weren't about: 1st) 1-12 weeks gestation 2nd) 13-26 weeks gestation 3rd) 27-40 weeks gestation

My 14 year old son, - the one who I was encouraged to abort but didn't - the one whose pregnancy had complications that could have killed me - the preemie in the NICU for a month - the one with autism - the child my heart weeps for as the world misunderstands and mistreats him is at a prolife camp this week. He called me tonight a bit shaken. He had seen images of what abortion does and learned all kinds of facts about what can happen to the woman and the child. He wanted to talk about his feelings about his dead brother (the one killed in an abortion), the fact he could have been aborted, and how much the abortion pill must have impacted me. He is a miracle and an amazing young man. I am so blessed to have grown because of what he and I have been through together. Children better us if we let them.

I am here to acknowledge the factors that led me to Planned Parenthood that day, as women making abortion decisions do not make them in a vacuum. I am here to bring to light the additional harm I experience by those who attempt to manage discomfort by minimizing my culpability.
