There is literally nothing I care less about then the feelings of anti-choice people.
Like, oh gee I am so sorry that you aren’t having the polite objective debate you think you wanted
But your opinions are why people with uteruses die. Your opinions limit the availability of the pill, used to regulate so many things as well as contraception
Your opinions force people to lose control of their bodily autonomy, regardless of their feelings, socio-economic status and health
So I will not be objective. I will not stand idly by and listen to that poisonous nonsense.

Malawi’s president vows to repeal gay ban
President Joyce Banda declared Friday she wants to repeal Malawi’s laws against homosexual acts, going against a trend in Africa in which gays are being increasingly singled out for prosecution.
Banda, who assumed the presidency in April when her predecessor died, made the announcement in her first state of the nation address.
“Indecency and unnatural acts laws shall be repealed,” she said. But repealing a law requires a parliamentary vote, and it is unclear how much political support Banda would have for sweeping changes in this impoverished and conservative nation in southern Africa.
