“Watchfully waiting” for women to die?

And I know this all from 9th grade biology. That’s how pathetically uninformed pro-lifers are.

When people say pregnancy can threaten the life of a mother, sometimes that means LITERALLY. I am pro-abortion for a huge number of reasons (resources, mental health, financial issues, or just because it’s your own damn body and as a woman it should be your right to not want kids, plain and simple), but when my friend told me about everything that had happened and how close she came to dying because of this, it chilled me to the bone to think of what might’ve happened if the law had stopped her from getting the treatment she needed.

I learned in a Latin Studies class (with a chill white dude professor) that when the Europeans first saw Aztec cities they were stunned by the grid. The Aztecs had city planning and that there was no rational lay out to European cities at the time. No organization.

Anyone who thinks that Native Americans were the savages instead of the filthy, disease ridden colonizers who appeared on their land is a damn fool.

since victors write history, our image of native american cities was created by colonizers motivated to uphold the ‘native savage’ myth. when we think of these civilizations now, we think of ‘uncivilized’ (rough, broken, abandoned) ruins, because that’s what remains. ruins are the only thing left. because of the destruction wrought by western invaders, these civilizations never had a chance to continue building. they were destroyed, and all we have left is an unimaginative shadow of their former glory.
