This pretty much blew my mind; I’ve linked to it a couple of times. Thank god the measures the video refers to were all soundly smacked down…although apparently there’s a new advocacy group somewhere in the US promising to keep hauling them back onto the ballot wherever it can. Scary stuff.

I just wrote an article on this. I shouldn’t be surprised it was flagged more than once. And yes, I too found it abominable.

Thanks for posting this. It is terrifying though, and also incredibly upsetting. The woman who had her legs strapped together and forced to have a c-section makes me feel physically sick – all of the stories are absolutely dreadful.

I think these stories need sharing. I know one or two mothers who would identify as so-called “pro-life” who would feel sick if they thought their stance was going to contribute to this. I’m sure there are many more out there.

The problem is – it is all on the same continuum. Anti-abortion and fetal rights – it is all part of the same tactic – to control women’s bodies. Maybe this video and the stories on it might actually wake some “pro-lifers” up to realise that, at last.
