We were actually told upon signing the lease that were not allowed to hang any pictures on the wall. Naturally, we did it any way. Because who the fuck doesn’t let you put up pictures?

We also got this notice tacked to our door today. I don’t know for sure if “management” and “landlord” are they same thing but I’m pretty sure it is as “management” is basically the realty company we’re renting from. So. The landlord(s).

Like what kind of power trip are they on? What purpose does any of this serve besides making it look

1. Ugly

2. Uniform

No decorations in the windows? Nothing but blinds showing? BEIGE shades, oh and no bamboo anymore. Why? What fucking purpose does this serve?

To be clear I’m not trying to Karen out here. I’m just upset that I pay over $900 in rent a month and I can’t even take down the shitty plastic blinds that break every ither day and put up some actual nice curtains. Well have to take them down now. And it’s all because some power tripping assholes want to micromanage every detail of the property.

i’m well aware of how long this is, but bear with me, ok?

if you are, as you say: “pro-life”, then here’s the things you should be/campaigning for:

-vegetarianism and veganism 

-free universal healthcare

-free contraception and sex education reform

-abolishing ICE

-pro-vaccinations

-prison reform and removing the death penalty

-Black Lives Matter

-supporting MMIW causes

-gun control

-raising the minimum wage

-marriage equality

-foster-system reform and adoption equality

-religious freedom

-stopping climate change

vegetarianism and veganism actively save lives of animals, and you actually shouldn’t even be eating plants, fruits, or vegetables because they have life too, right?

free universal healthcare will save many lives of people who can’t afford live saving treatment like chemotherapy and surgery. it will also help close the financial gap between patients as you won’t need to pay out of pocket for insulin or other life saving medications. most of these people have no choice in their illnesses, and insulin prices were about $300 for about one-and-a-half to two months of necessary medical items. many people died or suffered even more health issues because they couldn’t afford it. also, pregnancy is quite expensive, if a mother who cannot even afford to feed herself everyday gets pregnant, she won’t have to pay upwards of $5,000 to have the baby. where were you pro-lifers when bernie sanders and alexandria ocasio cortez proposed free universal healthcare? 

free contraception and pregnancy prevention items such as birth control and condoms would drastically decrease the amount of unwanted pregnancies. same with reforming sex education. an abstinence only education actually causes more unwanted pregnancies than education that teaches how pregnancy occurs and how to prevent it. so why aren’t you campaigning for these?

abolishing ICE is actually pretty obvious. deporting undocumented immigrants for no reason other than for their own egos disrupts people’s lives, and sometimes it sends them into a deadly situation. not to mention the treatment of families at the border. putting kids in cages, separating families, not providing soap to these people. many people at the border have died because of diseases that could’ve been prevented had they were given soap. not to mention, many children who were at the border said that they were extremely mistreated. where were you?

vaccinations prevent completely preventable and potentially deadly diseases and viruses such as measles, small pox, chicken pox, and the flu. children have died from these illnesses, and just because some people think that vaccinations are ‘dangerous’ or will ‘cause autism’, which is all de-bunked by many reputable scientists. why are you not spreading that vaccinations should be mandatory (unless you’re allergic to the vaccine)?

prison dramatically affects the lives of many who are sent there. most for unnecessary crimes such as selling pot-brownies, resisting arrest, etc. many of the people that committed these ‘crimes’ will never be able to find a job and therefore, become poor and not be able to afford basic things like food, healthcare, and other necessities or could possibly become homeless. also, studies have shown that about half of the people on death row could potentially be innocent and killed for no reason. even killing criminals who are very much guilty goes against your ‘pro-life’ argument. 

the black lives matter movement is actively protesting against absolutely unnecessary killing of black people by white police officers. like freddie gray who was arrested for ‘possession of a knife’ (which is a bullshit reason to be arrested, but that goes with prison reform), while he was in police custody, in hand-cuffs mind you, he ‘mysteriously’ became beaten and fell into a coma. the officer walked free. where were you pro-lifers then and countless other times when things like this occur?

MMIW causes, or missing/murdered indigenous women causes, should be supported. indigenous women are more likely to be assaulted, murdered, or go missing than any other race, for no reason other than the fact that they are indigenous. where are you pro-lifers when these atrocities happen?

gun control will actively save the lives of many americans. shootings have killed thousands of americans, whether they were civilians, students, concert-goers, etc. if you say you are ‘pro-life’ then you should be fighting for universal background checks and gun licenses, because these show that gun deaths will drastically go down if these were to occur. 

raising the minimum wage will increase the quality of life among many people across the country. minimum wage currently is not a livable wage, especially with the average rent being at an all time high in our country. also, many mothers who have an abortion because they cannot afford to raise it (because let’s face it, kids are expensive) will have a better opportunity to not raise it in poverty. why are you not campaigning for this?

same goes for marriage equality. if you allow people to marry who they want, their quality of life increases. and studies have shown that ending homophobia and being accepting of their sexualities actually decreases the amount of LGBTQ+ suicides. if you’re pro life you should NOT  be homophobic. 

thousands of children are in the foster care system, and many of the foster families they can get sent to are abusive and absolutely horrible to them. if you’re pro-life and say that ‘adoption is an option’, then you should be trying to reform the system in which these children will be put into. also, you should support gay couples adopting children, because this will increase the number of children getting adopted and will give children a better chance at life. but you say you don’t want gay couples adopting children because it will ‘corrupt’ them? grow up. 

religious freedom will improve the lives of many americans of numerous different faiths. if you end islamophobia and anti-semitism, there will be less hate-crimes against people of these faiths. they won’t have to be afraid of practicing their faiths, they won’t have to be escorted by police to their temples or mosques. why are so many of you pro-lifers anti islam?

stopping climate change will save the lives of everyone on earth, because if climate change is not stopped, it is predicted to kill us by 2060. but why are so many pro-lifers actively against stopping climate change?

and one last thing that you should support if you really are ‘pro-life’:

abortion.

you know why? 

there was a young girl at the age of eleven, that’s right, ELEVEN, who was a victim of rape. she got pregnant because of this, and was forced to carry her baby to term. 

pregnancy is a dangerous and invasive thing, and people who will get their lives ruined because of it should not have to go through it. because then it directly interferes with your mantra of ‘all life should be given a chance’. 

oh? you don’t support all of these things? then guess what:

YOU’RE NOT PRO-LIFE, YOU ARE PRO-BIRTH. IF YOU DO NOT CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO THE CHILD AFTER IT IS BORN OR THE MOTHER AFTER SHE GIVES BIRTH THEN YOU C A N N O T CALL YOURSELF PRO-LIFE.

rebuttal:

did you know that animals have more function than a 13 week old fetus? same goes for plants. the reason why i say 13 weeks is because that’s the cutoff for 99% of abortions. the reason that animals and even plant life have more function than the fetus is because of two simple reasons: they can survive outside of their mother’s womb or out of the seed stage, and they have functional brain connectivity (which fetuses don’t develop until they are at about 24-27 weeks).

raising the minimum wage wouldn’t hurt the economy if CEO’s were not greedy. jeff bezos can afford to end climate change multiple times over and still have enough money left over yet he he pays his workers the bare minimum he possibly can and requires them to do ridiculous things for their job. so no, if there was a law saying that the CEO’s of corporations such as Amazon, McDonald’s, Target, etc. that the minimum wage must be raised it is easily doable without infringing upon customers and the prices they’re used to. (even if it were to raise prices, it would LITERALLY only be about 30-40 cents per item)

and yes, abortion is invasive. but it is safe when performed in a planned parenthood. even if it is outlawed, abortions will still happen. abortions have been happening for over a hundred years, and before they were made legal and safe, many women died because of it.

women have thrown themselves downstairs, or tried other methods to self-abort their baby.

it can either be safe and legal in which only the fetus has to die, or it can be unsafe and illegal in which case the both the mother and the baby could die.

and since you asked about different reasons why people would get abortions, here’s some more:

being pregnant CAN ruin people’s lives, but not in the way that most people think. women face unpaid maternity leave from their jobs and it could also risk the position they have worked hard to get to. some women even face job termination when they tell their bosses that they’re pregnant.

other women can’t afford to raise the child. kids are expensive from the clothing they need to the furniture and to the form of care once the mother (hopefully) goes back to her job. what if she can barely afford to pay her rent? how will she be able to pay for new clothing, a crib, bottles, diapers, baby monitor, AND childcare? i mean if you’re going to help her pay for all of those things, or even buy her everything yourself, then i’m all ears.

the mother may be in an abusive relationship and/or situation. if she gets pregnant during this relationship that could mean she might never get out of it and would be subjecting the baby to the horrors that she faces every day, because she knows her partner will want her to keep it instead of putting it up for adoption.

the mother may have been in an abusive household and is scared she would repeat the cycle of abuse onto her child.

the mother does not want to put her child that she doesn’t want through potential hardship and abuse in the foster care system.

the mother has a medical condition where it is more likely for her to die in childbirth (or she’s black and has the same concerns, because black women are 243% more likely to die in childbirth than white women).

she is not ready for a child.

she was raped and got pregnant from it and she doesn’t want to carry around that trauma every day for the better part of a year.

and finally:

she wants the child. she wants it sooo badly but at the point when she finds out the sex of the baby, something she’s been waiting to hear since the moment she found out she was pregnant. she hears the sex and is overcome with joy, but then she finds out that her baby’s lungs are outside of their body, or the brain is outside of their skull, or that they’re missing many of their organs. she is devastated because she wanted this child so badly. the mother has two options.

she can carry the baby to term, give birth to it, and watch it suffocate in her arms. the child she’s been wanting for God knows how long. she went through the pain, the suffering, the maternity leave, and the expenses for nothing, for PAIN. because she has to watch her child die in her arms.

or, she can abort it. she can save herself the pain of carrying her baby the rest of the way, both physical and emotional. she doesn’t have to have strangers ask if it’s a boy or a girl, and rub her belly and ask when she’s due and what the name of the kid is going to be. she can have the abortion and start trying for another kid whenever she’s ready.

and you know what? these two options are both extremely painful for her, but which one is the lesser?

she WANTED the child, she had the room painted and the crib set up. she had it all. she had told her parents and her family and her friends that she was going to have a child, and now she has to tell everyone that the baby will not be able to live. and it breaks her heart.

abortion is about emotions and finances. please think about how hard it is for many women to go through this.

another thing:

pro-choice is about realizing that you have no right to say what others do with their bodies.

for example: i have a friend who is catholic, and very much so. she is pro-choice because she realizes that she can not dictate what a woman that she doesn’t know anywhere in the country does with her body based on her personal beliefs. would she get an abortion? no.

However, I don’t think it’s very fair to judge someone’s value based off of how well they function. No babies can’t function by themselves at 13 weeks or before but they still have unique DNA and their own heart beat. You can hear the baby heartbeat at about 5 1/2 weeks. So, they might not be able to function or live independently but they are very much their own person and very much alive.

I very much agree about the minimum wage part. The only sad thing is we will never be able to stop people being greedy. So I really don’t see the minimum wage being raised as high as many people, including me, would like.

I agree that maternity leave, at least here in America, is total BS. Many people who just gave birth are expected to go back to work immediately. And I’m not gonna lie I used to be one of those people who couldn’t stand the thought of food stamps and Medicaid. But now that I’m in need of those things I get it. I honestly hate the whole if you’re not working you have no value mentality many Americans have. I feel like there needs to be more programs that provide support for pregnant women and people with kids. And I think instead of prolife people standing outside of abortion clinics and screaming awful things at people we need to put more of a focus on other options for women. But you are very right most prolife people are just pro birth and don’t care to offer support to families in need. Lots of us do but a good majority it feels like don’t care once the baby is born.

Also, abortion is not the solution to stop the cycle of abuse. But I understand that there is definitely not enough places for women in crisis to go especially if she has children. I would much rather tax dollars go into actual women’s care other than abortion. And by that I mean counseling, housing, help the mother finding a job and day care for her baby, also food for both mother and child, and of course helping the mother pay for the hospital bills and doctors appointments.

i’m well aware of how long this is, but bear with me, ok?
