pregnancy – just moving along like everyone else

fun fact – the human uterus automatically rejects and flushes out/kills around 70% of all fertilized eggs, so defining life as beginning at conception essentially makes it illegal to have functional reproductive organs.

The human uterus is one of the most hostile places for an embryo to implant. Guess all of our uteruses are potential serial killers.

And it’s hostile because human pregnancy is incredibly dangerous by all accounts compared to the rest of the animal kingdom, so bear that in mind whenever someone says “Just go through with the pregnancy and give it up for adoption”

And not only is pregnancy in the US Particularly Dangerous, it’s even more so for the Poor and Rural, and even more for Black Women, most often as a result of stress-related illnesses and lack of prenatal care.

Oddly enough, the self-professed “pro-life” don’t seem to give a damn about any of this, and actively support a political party whose policies have 1)created this problem, 2)actively prevent fixing it, and 3)frequently deny it even exists.
