I remember reading that you can’t even take the organs out of a corpse to save someone’s life if they haven’t signed a donor authorization. Like, I already knew that fact, but never realized until that point that corpses had more protection and respect than half of the population. Women are really seen as subhumans to too much people.
You also can’t force a person to donate blood. An adult with O- blood can decline to donate in a shortage (and there’s always a shortage, blood doesn’t last long) because they’re scared of needles. A 12 year old can’t refuse to carry a high-risk pregnancy from someone who assaulted them.
@@emmettrose5960I mean, the can't force to donate blood makes sense. But the second part is just yucky
@@fedethegreat88yeah it’s a double standard. You have the obvious ability to save someone’s life by donating blood, you would not go through that much trouble by donating, but we don’t force you to donate. But we force kids to “save” the “life” of “someone” not even in existence, by forcing them to go through months of torture. Both should be optional.
@@spook6394 Exactly
@@fedethegreat88 oh, definitely. I don’t think anyone should be forced to donate blood either. I’m just pointing out the double-standard.
Years ago I counseled a 12 year old who was raped by her uncle. She didn’t know she could get pregnant. She didn’t realize it until she was 5 months pregnant. This is not uncommon for children who were assaulted. They are terrified to tell anyone and often don’t get help right away.
I cannot imagine how emotionally & physically draining your days must have been. Thank you for possessing & exercises such compassion; it takes a special soul to be a counselor.
Exactly. But (especially certain) lawmakers and cops nowadays seem to think that the law should be made for THEIR convenience and the citizen should be expected to twist themselves into a pretzel to do things through the "proper channels" instead of having a law that is made with the citizens' needs in mind.
As children we are brainwashed and abused so bad about what WILL happen IF we tell. I told a Teacher in the 6th grade. She made it her business to call my Father and drive me home after school. I walked in the door and there he was with his belt sitting in a chair facing the door. In our home of 6 kids we had accidents. An employee would come and farm us out to poor relatives who kept their mouths shut in exchange for monatary gain. Usually until the crisis was over and whoever was home from the hospital. Money gives power which talks and obvioualy everyone is for sale. It was just another accident and I'm lucky my father could afford such good insurance. After all, I didn't turn out so bad or so they tell me.
@@Tupelo927 Thank you for your thoughtful comment. The work can be draining if you don’t have incredibly good self-care skills, it’s true. But the work is professionally rewarding as well - to help people resume some degree of normalcy, lessen the impact of abuse/trauma and improve their self-esteem and sense of safety in the world. That makes it all worth it.
@@Me-mn4nw I’m so sorry you endured so many years of this abuse, and the failure of those who should have protected you.

The most baffling thing about this is these are the same people who claim to want to protect children
And yet they do nothing to stop school shootings. They are just hypocrites through and through that want us to live in a world where women and all female people have no power, and most likely get rid of racial minorities and the disabled. (Who are more likely to due from complications or avoid getting pregnant as much as possible to save themselves.)
They claim anything they want, it’s very clear they are only out to protect themselves and their disgusting perversions. They want to protect the environment they created so they can continue to get away with it
they want children to see them as trusted figures so they can enact these exact atrocities on them and get away with it. the call is coming from inside the house whenever you hear weirdo conservatives crying about trans people. they project their own twisted fantasies onto others and everyone in their echo chamber falls for it.
Control. They want to control children.
I’ll correct you there: they only want to protect unborn children AND children who come in contact with the LGBTQ community. They don’t even think about children being abused by parents or relatives. Or unwanted children being passed through the foster system. They only care when it serves their political interests
If even one 10-year old is forced to give birth to her rapist's child because of the law then that law is completely bereft of authority.

Unfortunately they have a get out of jail free card if they marry their victims.
A child can't even fully grasp what pregnancy entails. And politicians expect: 1. The child to understand the consequences of pregnancy and what it actually means, 2. The child to understand that what had happened to them was not okay, 3. The child to be brave enough to want to tell someone about this "shameful" thing 4. The child to actually tell an adult, 5. The adult to actually believe it, 6. That adult actually going to the police/doctor, 7. Police/doctors willing to actually do their job properly.
With every step, the help for the victim and conviction of perpetrators becomes less likely. Not to mention additional factors, like conflicting feelings of the child, unsafe environment, entrapment, manipulation done by the perpetrators.
This whole thing is STACKED AGAINST VICTIMS.
There are a decent number of people mocking CSA survivors in the comments. Yeah the whole system was stacked against survivors in the first place but Roe V Wade being overturned means that they’re even more screwed than they were before.
and for this all to happen within 5 weeks. despicable
@@melanie_meanders less than 5 weeks. When they talk about number of weeks pregnant it's counting from the first day of the last menstrual period, conception happens at week 2 of pregnancy. (Pregnancy math is wild.)
A lot of children don’t even have the words to explain what happened to them either. I knew people as young as 10 who started their period and one who was 7. Seven year olds aren’t typically going to be able to explain everything that happened to them and take that person to court, especially not within any time limits.
Don't forget they always imply if the victim dosent miscarry it was concentual
I know this isn't the proper video to say it but:
Pro-life has had the best marketing for years. But they aren't pro-life when it comes to everything else after the child is born. This needs to change. We need to refer to the issue as Pro-choice vs Anti-choice.
They are not pro-life. Stop calling them that. You're doing them a favor.
I agree.
They are pro-birth
@@crissaliss5087Pro forced birth
Not pro-life.
Pro-birth and pro-suffering.
“Pro life” excludes the life of the pregnant girl/woman . A “heartbeat” bill excludes the heartbeat of the pregnant girl/woman. The pregnant girl/woman is reduced to the status of livestock.
A girl I went to school with didn't show up in sixth grade because she got pregnant. As an adult I realize that she didn't "get pregnant". She had been assaulted and pregnancy resulted, and no one helped her. Our society and our laws build in protections for people who harm children.
I wish more people would understand. Unfortunately, for many of them, those very good points fall on deaf ears since they think SA is a mere "inconvenience" and being forced to give birth to a rapist's child is a "blessing" at the end of the day. And it's revolting.
Yea, they'd have to care to try and understand and they dont.
@@xtinkerbellax3 I hate that people treat apathy as something we just have to deal with though. Like isn't neglect just as bad as abuse sometimes? Yet we give people a pass for not researching these issues, not talking to people affected... because they have jobs and it doesn't affect them(?) Those are literally the only two explanations I have been given and yet no one calls that selfish but they will call a child free woman selfish?
@@dontburstmybubble686 it's one thing when people really seem to not care about anything, or if they talk with conviction on topics they haven't researched (especially the opposite view), but it's completely another if they simply have no capacity left for that topic. You're not caring about all the topics in the world at the same rate; there is probably plenty you don't even know about because you've never researched adjacent topics. For example do you know that foster kids in USA very often move between homes with their clothes etc. in garbage bags? Why are you apathetic about that? Why should I give you a pass for not knowing that? And that's just one small topic which is also probably from your country (and not mine). But even if you know about all the issues in the world, you wouldn't be able to care about all of them, especially equally; to do that you'd need to not care at all, shovh defeats the purpose.
@@dontburstmybubble686Good point! They are complicit in the SA.
This is not about life it's about control. About controlling womens lives in every way.

It's also possible for a young girl to get pregnant before she's ever had a period. The pregnancy is the first time she's ovulated so she's completely unaware until it's many weeks along.
Add that many girls aren't educated about how their bodies work until 11 or 12. Sometimes older. I know a few who had their first period at 9. Their parents made sure they had products but did not educate them on how pregnancy works.

I said that to my pro-life parents. Took a while but I got them to understand that.
There should be no ban on abortions at all. Your body, your choice. People who end up getting late stage abortions do it from extreme fetal fatal anomalies, not because the child isn’t wanted. That is not a decision anyone makes lightly. It is insane that so many people just want to control women so badly with this. I’m at my limit and if America continues like this I am out.
How the parties right of center allowed themselves to be undermined by anti choice candidates is a question... it is the same in Canada.. we currently have a left of center government but that can change.. it is concerning to say the least.

@@unicorntamer2207 you assume conservatives care
As a child who was SA'd by 2 different family members (almost 3), my mom didn't just not believe me, she tried gaslighting me in what happened. Including the one that happened with her standing right there. In fact she laughed at that one. Thankfully, they weren't grapes, and I wasn't at risk of pregnancy, but if I had been, she's the type of person who would've forced me to carry to term. Even though the first time it happened to me was at 7. Some parents shouldn't be parents.
That said, I'm at a high risk for uterine rupture compared to the average afab humans. It's not high enough that my doctor recommends never getting pregnant, but it's high enough that I need to be in a state that would let me live. Because in that situation, it's either both of us dying or one. I've been told by pro-birth people that I would deserve to die with my fetus if that situation came to pass.

Growing up there was a girl across the street from my grandpa who was raped by her step dad and got pregnant at 11. She miscarried. She was attacked again and had her first child at 12. He lived 43 days. The step dad was arrested that time. The mom didn't believe her the first time, thought she must have gotten pregnant by another kid (parents of the year there).
My best friend in hs had a younger sister who had her first kid at 11. Was pregnant at 10. Had 3 more before she graduated. This was the late 90s/ early 2000s

The last time that this was brought up, there was a story about a woman named Kate Cox who was pregnant with a baby that had a lethal genetic anomaly (Trisomy 13, aka Patau Syndrome), and she had to go to the emergency room 3 times before she and her husband decided to just travel out of state to get the procedure done. She already had 2 other children that would've been left without a mother.
About 1 in 6 pregnancies involve some kind of medical complication like this (although not necessarily this severe).
Trisomy 21 is downs syndrome.
Her fetus had either trisomy 10 or 13.
T21 is Down Syndrome which is hardly lethal, I know more people with Down Syndrome than I can shake a fist at (I work in the disability sector). Kate Cox's case was T18 which is in fact pretty much lethal due to underdevelopment of various organs.

The audacity to say the no exceptions ban is fine because it rarely happens. While pushing the idea that mothers are killing their infants at 8-9 months willingly just because they want to. When by definition at that point everyone at that point expected to carry to term and is only doing it due to medical emergency

As there are over 10 million 10 to 14 year old girls in America right now, that translates into over 2000 pregnancies a year in this age group, all of which are certainly, bare minimum, a result of woefully inadequate parental supervision, and likely often a result of outright illicit behavior by adults or those within a couple years of majority. 🤢
Children can't consent, so if a girl is pregnant between the ages of 10-14, it's likely the result of 'illicit' behaviour of an adult.
'Likely'? You Mean Always? It's Always Because Of An Adult Doing Something That They Shouldn't.

What I hate even more is how so many of them just throw adoption into the mix as if it is a ‘fix all solution’ without fully understanding anything that goes into adoption from all three sides. I could not imagine being a birth mother to a baby, who is then put into an adoption situation. The amount of hurt, pain, grief and confusion that goes into that is insane. Not to mention, the quality of life for said child. Just because they are adopted does not mean they are truly loved and/or wanted. The difficulties that go into being an adoptee are already high, I can’t imagine what it would be like to not only find out you can’t see/meet your birth parents but to find out you were conceived out of SA. The devastation is immense! Too many are uneducated, biased and incapable of empathy that everyone ends up suffering.
Also, the whole point of termnating a pregnancy is, you know, not having to go through a pregnancy and then birthing and postpartum, all of them with very real risks to one’s health or even life. But that part is always overlooked.
It’s pretty cool and good how there’s an entire political ideology based around never thinking about anything at all and we are supposed to pretend these people deserve respect

Perhaps we should leave this to those who can get pregnant or have skin in the game to decide and everyone else just back off.
People with very regular periods often find out they’re pregnant earlier. Children often have irregular periods
The only way things are going to change is if a Republicans young daughter is violated and then gets pregnant. I do NOT want anyone to go through this but no one should be forcing any decision on another person.
That's not going to change anything. Their daughter will get the appropriate care they need, I mean that literally. But the laws will stay on the books. Only way things actually change is we get the right people in power. repeal AIPAC and CU

I have a long list of republicans who have been found guilty of abusing children, even their own.
They will not care. They will sneak their children and their mistresses and their abuse victims across borders to deal with what JD Vance terms an inconvenience.
they always come out to say that young trans folk shouldnt be able to seek gender affirming care before 18. but then they go and try to make excuses about how ‘oh the amount of child pregnancies is so small it doesn’t matter’ like what are you even talking about. the republican party used to have a backbone, now the overwhelming majority is two faced and only cares for talking points, not actually understanding and fixing problems.
Those exceptions were never realistic, but they never cared to begin with. 😬😬😬
The fact that in Texas its ridiculous to just get birth control (I have issues with my monthly) and I have to go thru a teledoc secret online pharmacy program instead of just going down my street to the pharmacy (where I get all my other pills 💊 )

It Should Also Be Stated That, To Date, The Youngest Girl Ever To Give Birth Was Only Five Years Old. She Was Still An Infant Herself, Barely Growing Out Of The Toddler Stage.
It should also be noted that she was estimated to be 4 to 8 months old when her ovaries started maturing. They didn’t know for sure if I remember right but there have been other cases of infants that young starting puberty.
@@ladylaurus8493 I Find That Easy To Believe. Actually, It's Not Uncommon For Newborn Girls To Bleed Down There, Having What Is Essentially Their First Period.

@@2012petvetbut for children with precocious puberty those hormones don’t go away and instead build up because of a defect in the genes or a tumor in the pituitary gland (most common causes). It’s most common in girls and the records I have found have shown that it takes a while to actually detect
VOTE BLUE. Pure and simple. VOTE BLUE and normality will be resumed.
I feel like we have to look at WHO this law benefits. I can't have kids. I wish I could. It is what it is. Still, people should have the right to decide what they want to do with their own bodies.
Add Tennessee's new law about not providing medical care, including counseling to children without express parental consent that's so vague school nurses are not sure they can hand out Band-Aids ... So a child seeking help from a school nurse may have that nurse have to contact the abuser for permission to help the child....sure that will go swimmingly...
After grade school k-3rd, I didn't even have a school nurse. Not all schools have school nurses. Republicans will probably just eliminate that position in all public schools.
Children or women should not have to suffer because they were assaulted. Dealing with that is hard enough without the complication of pregnancy.

There's a fatal flaw in your video. You're assuming that MAGA cultists think. EDIT: I was 40 years old before I told my mum what her second husband did to me.
Thank you! This is why we have to refer to "pregnant people" to include CHILDREN and adult women. Lack of basic understanding of human reproduction and law enforcement spells DISASTER for the most vulnerable PEOPLE, i.e. children.
Holy cow. I thought that "pregnant people/person" was being used more and more to include trans men. But using it to include girls did not even cross my mind and it absolutely makes sense and it highlights a big problem.
There is a massive uproar if someone wants to restrict gun ownership, but those same people want to restrict a woman's right to choose their own destiny.

They’re asking CHILDREN to carry their trauma for 9 months and give birth to that same trauma…? That is insane. Clinically insane.
Reminder that there are still 37 states that allow children to be married to adults and between 2000-2018 300.000 minors were married. The absolute majority are underage girls being married to adult men.
We also can't forget child marriage is legal in the US as well. So not only are we talking about all the girls who are assaulted by their family, we're also talking about the girls who are sold off by their family.

These people voting should be REQUIRED to go and meet with young victims of incest and other SA as well as the people who worked their cases before they get to vote. It’s not right otherwise. It shouldn’t be valid if they aren’t forced to see it firsthand and understand that it’s VERY real and not at all uncommon in this country. Or any country for that matter. It’s traumatic even for the people who are helping these children. That should tell you something.

The people who like to throw out the phrase “virtue signaling” sure do love their ineffectual morality theater. Every accusation is a confession with their lot.
Who _cares_ about 'statistically significant' it _is_ happening, and ONE child is one child too many!
Telling _women_ that they are forced to give birth is horrific enough, but little kids 🤬 There are no words.
Then again, more than 30 states allow _child marriage_ ... is it really any surprise that these people don't believe children are being forced to carry to term?
Every female in my family was at one point SA’d before the age of ten, sometimes multiple times. All of my female friends were SA’d before the age of 14. “1 in 4” is a guess based on how many people actually report SA-it’s much higher. I’d go so far as to say that 3 in 4 females can expect to be SA’d at some point in her life and yes many of us experience it for the first time when we are children. We should not be talking about “if” a child gets SA’d, we should talk about WHEN a child gets SA’d because it WILL happen and it IS happening. The youngest girl to give birth was 5 years old after being SA’d by her father and she was 4 when she was impregnated. Her name was Lina Marcela Medina de Jurado. She was a victim of precocious puberty but with the age of first menses getting lower and lower, we are going to be seeing a LOT more pregnant children. Forcing a child to give birth is despicable.
Making it even worse is that a significant number of states with extreme bans won't teach anything other than abstinance for seggs ed. They're pulling the rug out from under these kids from the start.
“What are the statistics” Not high enough for you? Is an incredible response although very very shocking. Like… I don’t know man. 1 feels like too many. That just me?
just because the total percentage of an event is small, it is 100% of THAT PERSON'S experience
Two things should have no say in a doctors office: government and insurance companies.
But why do they stop caring about us once we go through puberty? Harming a child is equal to harming an adult. They are equally bad. People trying to excuse harming women or taking our rights away but only care when people are children are sick. Something is seriously wrong with that logic.
Women and girls should own their own bodies. The end. No further argument needed
This is why I'm a single issue voter. I will vote until my daughter, and everyone else, has their right to their body.
It's the single issue that will either get or deny my vote.
That last part about people living charmed existences…yup, people really don’t know how lucky they are
Considering only 10 states ban child marriage it should be pretty obvious that children can and do become pregnant all over the country.
Pdf files are given a get out of jail free when they marry their victims…that’s why it’s legal unfortunately
IMHO, no marriage should be legal before 18, regardless of parental consent, etc. It’s just too vulnerable to abuse otherwise.
As a child of the 80s I was hopeful that by the time I would reach 50, women would have more and more rights. That there would be progress and opportunity for all. But now, at 51, I see that women no longer have the basic freedoms we were born with - we don’t even have the “inalienable rights” the _founding fathers_ talked about in the Declaration of Independence. In fact - we lost our independence. It’s inexcusable, and I recommend that our daughters and grand daughters find opportunities elsewhere, outside the US, for their own safety and wellbeing. Forced birth and no medical care … life expectancy in the US is ready to plummet. Count on it.
