cw: suicide, reactionary bs
[Thread]
One thing that really pissies me off are those facist reactionary "#ProLife" bigots.
And I'll explain in detail, WHY they are bigoted.
So strap in and hold tight...
Therefore I could at least respect [but not agree with] "#ProLife" people if they'd actually offer alternatives.
Then make actual sex - education mandatory, provide contraceptives, child-care and medical care for free whilst offering paid parental leave and undo the Gender Pay Gap ffs so that people are not economically forced into a decision
But those "#ProLife" bigots don't even want to provide minors with #FreeHealthcare.
Instead of rejecting #BodilyAutonomy, why don't we make #MentalHealthcare accessible, free and actually helping people.
And I don't mean imprisoning people and stuffing them with meds or other symptom-oriented things.
Right now, economic uncertainty, #robodebt, lack of social contacts and other issues do drive a lot of people into it.
At least at surface value...
I.e. giving people a stable platform [removing existential fears like poverty, eviction, starvation or violence] is likely more helpful than drugs.
And that's why I callout ALL "#ProLife" folks as bigoted assholes because they don't follow through at their ideas.
Otherwise, they'd demand #UBI, #FreeHealthcare and many other things first.

Working on a problem reduces the fear of it.

It\u2019s hard to fear a problem when you are making progress on it\u2014even if progress is imperfect and slow.
Action relieves anxiety.

We often avoid taking action because we think "I need to learn more," but the best way to learn is often by taking action.
