Aaaaaaaa?

I’m disabled and it pisses me off so much when people use termination for medical reasons in the case of fetuses with non-fatal congenital conditions as a reason that abortion is evil and pregnant people shouldn’t be allowed to decide to end a pregnancy. I would not damn a dog to be dependent on the American medical system, much less a human being for the next 75+ years. Do not talk to me about eugenics until the mentally ill and physically disabled stop freezing to death on the street and dying of treatable illnesses because they can’t afford a caretaker OR their medication OR stable housing. If someone wants to terminate a pregnancy before that fetus becomes a living, kicking, screaming, breathing baby, you cannot compare that to the fucking vile things that happen to actual living disabled people in our society every fucking day. There are actual disabled people begging for help and you’re ignoring them to pretend like you give a fuck about unborn disabled “babies”.

Also I'd like to add that a person who doesn't want or can't afford a disabled child definitely has a good reason. They are unfit to raise a disabled child, and our adoption and fostercare system is full of pedophiles and human traffickers. I would not trust a child to the hands of our system at all, let alone a disabled one.

Yes, that too. I would much rather have someone abort a pregnancy because the fetus showed signs of a genetic or congenital abnormality than get rid of the choice and force people to become a parent to a disabled child and resent them or feel extreme misplaced guilt for their child’s challenges and pain. There is already so much of that in the world. Again, I’d recommend not having kids if you don’t want a disabled child but deciding to terminate a pregnancy because the fetus would be born requiring numerous invasive surgeries, lifelong medical intervention and high support needs is not necessarily a sign that person loathes the disabled and could not love a disabled child.

progesterone got me acting unwise

yeah i know it's the pregnancy hormone. but why is it trying to tell me to get pregnant when i am actively having period cramps. even if i had a uterus, it wouldn't the right time. stupid hormone.

PROGESTERONE IS THE STUPID HORMONE THAT MAKES YOU STUPID

AND HORNY

every time i get close to someone i feel like a stray dog trying to live in a house. like i don’t know where to put my body or how loud i’m allowed to be.

#tfw you meet a guy who wont stop talking like a pbs kids presenter and it turns out hes in charge of the nukes round here (@startingatmidnight)

It's a lot healthier to go for a daily walk than to sign up for a gym membership you won't be using because you hate that kind of exercise. It's a lot healthier to eat a frozen meal than to skip a meal because you were too tired to cook something healthy. It's a lot healthier to take a quick shower than to procrastinate an elaborate routine for days. Don't aim so high that you won't be hitting anything!
