Okay, so I don't usually do this, but this is an issue near and dear to me and this is getting very little no attention in the mainstream media

I donated, and God, this is so messed up and scary. I really feel like this country is going completely back in time in terms of women's rights.

Seriously seriously disgusting.

DX!!!!!!!!
Even putting aside birth control, which actually I don't even know why it's involved seeing as how most of them stop OVULATION in the first place so like...the egg is not even getting released/fertilized right? (If I don't understand that correctly, then please correct me LOL)

But miscarriages, really? You can't help your body rejects a pregnancy, it happens for various reasons. And actually alot of them have to do with if there's something wrong with it, so the body just knows to reject it.

this is so very sad indeed...

Yea it can't even be fertilized because it's not even being released!

SO, the body's natural ability to reject something is your fault?? wtf?

Basically yea DX! Sometimes it has to do with if somethings wrong with the chromosomes (which usually would result in some kind of disorder if the baby came to term) sometimes the woman's body can't take it, etc, sometimes you don't know why. Someone I know said after they had this miscarriage one time, since they thought like "well it's natural that if somethings wrong, then that's why" and helped her feel better.

I guess the thing is that if a woman had a miscarriage would they need to investigate why? I don't know about this whole thing, the website supporting the amendment talks all innocently and is like "it doesn't address those issues, and we don't condone them with it" but basically it really opens the path for people to do just that very thing. And really takes away right from the woman.

I'm sure if one of the "for" people where raped and got pregnant from it, where they would feel they stood then >:(
