STAY SAFE ON THE INTERNET GUYS!!

Sometimes its something survivable. Not minor, per say, but technology and medicine has come a long way. We can save a baby who is born with only half a heart.

But some things we can't save. The fetus could die during the pregnancy and cause immense risk to the mother. Perhaps the baby could be born but their chances of survival after the fact are low, so low that its almost a given that they would die after a very expensive and all too short battle for life.

And another thing is that my mother works in a lower income area. She sees people who are barely scraping by, who are living in homeless shelters, who are here on a visa, who can't speak english. These mothers sometimes might not be able to afford the care their child would need to be able to survive. The decision to abort the baby is not made out of some callous disregard or maliciousness, its a tough, grief filled one and for some may be the only option.

I will always remember this one story my mother told me years ago. She had looked at the echo and had found an abnormality, something that would kill the fetus. She always starts out by drawing a simplified picture of the heart (its heart shaped like the emoji) in order to show the parents and make sure they are able to understand exactly what my mom is telling them is wrong. The couple were from somewhere in the middle east I think? And when she explained this and told them that it was probably genetic, they were both near inconsolable. As it turns out this was the woman's third pregnancy, and the other two had ended up being miscarriages, and the doctors in their home country had never been able to tell why. And imagine, being in that chair, learning that its not just bad luck. That something in you is passing those corrupted genes on, killing your own child in the womb. The decision to abort was not one taken lightly, it was an act of mercy for the family. A chance to say goodbye on their own terms.

You think your company pays you out of the goodness of their hearts? Or even out of “market pressure?” The “job market” is a myth perpetuated by the capitalists. Corporations would pay you nothing if they could get away with it. And you argue “oh, but if they paid me nothing I’d just go to another one.” Wrong. Because to maximize profits, they all want to pay you nothing. Corporations exist to maximize profits while reducing risk for investors. It’s part of their entire function to find ways to cut costs as much as possible, and that includes finding ways to pay you nothing.

Unions are your defense against that. You think all a union does is strike? If you pay union dues, a lot of that is spent on lobbyists in various governments reminding your lawmakers that you have rights as a living human being that a corporation should not be able to stomp all over. Unions hire lawyers so that if you’re fired for bullshit reasons, the union can stand up for you against your boss. They’re called unions because workers are uniting to pool resources so that they can stand up to these corporate overlords with more money than God. Unions exist because you might not have the words, resources, or time to fight workplace injustices all by yourself. That’s the whole fucking point.

Workers: *Go on strike*

But it’s about workers rights and the people who campaigned for it to be a holiday knew this fucking day would come.
