THANK you to the women who made (ancient) history; to those whose achievements went unsung; to the female archaeologists and historians who worked tirelessly to reveal the fascinating lives of these women; and to all our amazing female followers. Happy International Women’s Day!
Logical inconsistency is a pillar of anti-choice ideology
I was born with one kidney; I’m OK now but I’ve had kidney issues in the past and I’m at a much greater risk of needing a transplant.
Every single time I’ve asked a “pro-life” person if they would be willing to suffer a little inconvenience to save my life, they have a laundry list of excuses.
Ultimately the discussion reaches the same conclusion each time: “it’s my body and I don’t want to.”
There’s a lower mortality rate associated with live organ donation than pregnancy and childbirth. Unlike an embryo, I am a sentient human being who is able to look them in the eye and plead for my own life.
Nine out of every ten people on the transplant list need a kidney - an organ that a living donor can give with relatively minor long-term limitations. If every “pro-life” person got tested for compatibility, the transplant list would disappear overnight.
