Science has determined that fetuses are unique human beings. That’s not from my religious beliefs or my personal opinion but rather the conclusion from science. Check out this post to read about how fetuses are human beings.
I wouldn’t ever want to take away the rights of women, but I think we can all agree that killing human beings should be outlawed. Therefore, it’s difficult to allow women to have the right to kill.
I support the overturning of Roe v. Wade and I support banning abortion in all cases.*
Alex Holzbach, editor of Tumblr’s Politics tag
Here, an overview of all editors. And because Mr. Holzbach wants to make sure his viewpoints are widely read, he runs a specific Tumblr, Anti-Abortion Activist, where he makes his position and his intention to have women’s rights restricted clear. Ari Kohen here attempted to tackle some of his pro-life arguments here (I suspect that in a futile effort).
I am disgusted that this partisan, misogynist content producer is allowed to curate a tag that should contemplate everyone’s rights. I am also disappointed. This also probably explains why the Politics tag is actually not Politics but American politics and why the degree of diversity is so troubling. When the blogging platform we use to defend our rights and to keep abreast of the ways in which our reproductive rights are threatened sees fit to allow the same person who wishes to take those rights away from us to curate the content we are allowed to see, I wouldn’t expect to see my views really represented.
Sorry, but not all opinions are equal. The opinions of a person who actively works to take away rights from people should never be considered equal to the opinions of those who are oppressed by his actions.
For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you. Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
