Seriously, if we believe a 14 year old is too immature to know how to take a pill, do we really think she’s adult enough to handle an unwanted pregnancy?
The truth is that the age restriction is completely arbitrary, tied only to our puritanical comfort levels. And listen, I get it; I think it’s fair to say that most people are uncomfortable with the idea of a 14 year old having sex. But here’s the thing - access to Plan B isn’t about keeping a 14 year old from having sex - by the time she gets to the pharmacy, that ship has sailed - it’s about keeping a 14 year old who has already had sex from getting pregnant. And despite what urban legend (or past embarrassing FDA memos) may tell you, making emergency contraception more available is not more likely to make young teens have sex - it will just make them less likely to end up pregnant.
We can’t let our discomfort with teen sex trump young people’s right to sexual and reproductive health and we can’t continue to let politics trump science. If we care about young women’s health and bodily autonomy and integrity, we’ll drop all age restrictions from emergency contraception. Anything less isn’t just illogical - it’s immoral.

I dunno how many which ways this needs to be said

…up to 200,000 people angry with high costs and poor public services took to the streets. Protesters in Rio de Janeiro burned cars and looted buildings as police attempted to disperse them with teargas and rubber bullets. Aerial images showed thousands of people attempting to storm the congress building in Brasilia. The rallies…are some of the biggest ever seen in the country…

And God said unto Abraham, “Abraham.”
And Abraham replied, “What.”
God said to John, “Come forth and receive eternal life.” But John came fifth and won a toaster.
And Judas approached the rabbis and Pharisees saying, “The one whom I kiss is the one you seek.”
To which they responded, “Gay.”
And thus, god made Eve. And she was bammin’ slammin’ bootylicious.

Cathedral of Maringá in Brazil- It was completed in 1972 and is the tallest church in South America and the 16th tallest in the world. Designed by architect José Augusto Bellucci was inspired by the Soviet sputnik satellites when he designed the cathedral’s modernist, conical shape. The design was idealized by the archbishop Dom Jaime Luiz Coelho.
- Societal expectations of masculinity
- Societal expectations to provide for women
- No long term reversible male birth control
- Men who are raped are more likely to remain silent and be dismissed or outright laughed at
- Unfair treatment in child custody battles
- No support for male victims of domestic abuse
- Media portrayal of married men as weak morons
Not men’s issues
- The friend zone
- Women not dating you
- “Fucking femnazis”
PLEASE LET THE CHURCH SAY AMEN

Well, yeah, except for the part where it’s not. :)
Because the consequences of supposed “racism” against white people is…literally nothing. Hurt feelings. That’s it.
White people INVENTED racism with the intent that THEY would be the beneficiaries; it is SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO BE A ONE-WAY STREET.
Racism leads to the extrajudicial murder of people of color, especially Black people.
Actual, real racism leads to school closure in districts that are more than 25% people of color
It leads to financial, educational, and institutional inequality.
NEED SOME HELP UNDERSTANDING? ARE WORDS TO HARD?
HAVE SOME PICTURES!
OH, AND DON’T FORGET THAT NO MATTER WHAT HORRIFIC NEW ATROCITY IS INVENTED OR “WHO” IT AFFECTS, BLACK PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS SUFFER THE MOST:
When feminists decry the horrific new developments in regard to the criminalization of pregnancy, i.e. people with uteri who are prosecuted and/or sent to prison for refusing a c-section, having a miscarriage or stillbirth, having a mental illness, being perceived as “irresponsible”, et cetera.
This is happening to Black and Native American women like Regina McKnight and Martha Greywind:
First, we describe characteristics of the women and the cases, finding that low-income women and women of color, especially African American women, are overrepresented among those who have been arrested or subjected to equivalent deprivations of liberty.
who are poor, and often living in the South, with its rich history of forced sterilizations and eugenics. South Carolina especially showed preference for sterilizing African American women.
HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH?
SERIOUSLY? WHAT COULD EVER EVEN REMOTELY CHANGE YOUR MIND WHEN YOU’VE ALREADY DECIDED, BEFORE LEARNING OR LOOKING AT ANYTHING, THAT “RACISM IS A TWO-WAY STREET”?
WHERE ARE THE FUCKING CONSEQUENCES FOR WHITE PEOPLE???
WHERE THE FUCK ARE THEY?
FUCKING SHOW ME, YOU SHITHEAD
I’LL WAIT
White people invented racism? You need to check your history, racism has been around since we first evolved. Want a good example? The African, Homo Sapiens, obliterated the European Homo Neandethalus. Racism is even present in Chickens and other species, no one “invented” it, it is a product of nature, quit with trying to manufacture white guilt, and make your life better instead of complaining about it, no one is stopping you.
You know what my favorite thing about this is? The way you obscure the fact that the homo sapiens who went to Europe and eventually displaced/assimilated/killed the Neanderthals were the direct ancestors of European humans… you’re framing it as Africans killing Europeans when it’s really the birth of European humanity.
No, scratch that. That’s my second favorite thing. My favorite thing is the way you’re trying to frame racism—a social construct that lets members of one species dominate the rest of the species—as somehow being parallel to the competition of natural selection as it exists between species, like chattel slavery and Jim Crow and the school-to-prison pipeline and stop and frisk and racist hiring policies and redlining and all that, like it’s some kind of genetic imperative that not only is literally no one to blame for but that it’s good and necessary.
No, you know what? I’m actually going to throw those things out. My favorite thing about this post is your conclusion. After you insist that racism is natural, that it’s ubiquitous, that it exists in our DNA and we will never get rid of it because it comes from nowhere and has nowhere to go, you conclude by saying “ make your life better instead of complaining about it, no one is stopping you.”
Really? How does this make any sense? You tried your mightiest to convince your audience that racism is a natural process and there’s no stopping it, and your conclusion is “…therefore it doesn’t exist”.
Did you even think at all before you started posting?
^^^^this commentary is fantastic! I’m going to send this to everyone who complains about “reverse racism”
