Bits and Bobs :)
My serious side is more interested in Psychology, mental health issues and addiction.
The majority of the time I'm somewhere on a continuum of pissed off and enthused.
The problem with being anti-choice is simple. The bullying and the intimidation of women capable of making their own decision about their life.
The rallying around abortion clinics and the increased inaccessibility be it geographically, economically or by shaming.
You do not see pro-choice protesters rallying around pregnant women, shaming and condemning them. I would assume no pro-choice individual would be upset or feel they needed to make a comment to a pregnant woman they did not know, impressing upon them how they have made the wrong decision.
And that is the problem, pro-choice supporters are not leading women who are pregnant and happy into the abortion clinic and forcing something upon them. So what makes people think they can shame women away from the clinics door when they do not want a child.
I know not everyone will agree with me and I can see why people want to preserve the life of a foetus but there is so much more to it.

I will always reblog this because it is so so important.

I just want to nail this to every stable surface I can find. I cannot count the amount of times that I’ve seen fat folks being encouraged, cajoled, and even forced into behaviors that would be recognized as disordered eating/exercising patterns in thin folks.
Pretty much everything that’s done on shows like The Biggest Loser would be called out as pro-ana/pro-orthorexia in a thin person. Exercising past the point that it hurts, to the point where you’re throwing up, even injuring yourself? Berating yourself because you didn’t lose ENOUGH weight this week? Constantly talking about how fat is weakness and thinness will make everything better, about how you can’t stand to be your current weight anymore? Emphasis on weight as a sign of how much control, strength, and worth you have? Viewing food as bad, as a temptation to sin? Constant sharing and talking about tips on how to minimize food intake, how to lose weight?
That sounds exactly like every pro-ana/pro-mia blog I’ve ever seen. It’s also what fat people are told we need to be doing to ourselves until we’re thin.

If you measure your self worth
in feet and inches, stones and pounds, you need to realise there is a lot more to life.
