Yeah, they're usually set up and marketed to look like they're just a support and free care place like Planned Parenthood but its 100% evangelical and from the minute you enter the goal is to bully, cajole, and outright threaten women. These places are supported entirely by tax exempt churches when they arent defrauding taxpayers more directly. Some actually good ones exist but usually are pretty loud and proud about not being chuds because they're outnumbered 100 to 1 Edit - and dont take it from me, Branco loves them, that should be enough right there

Nenonen posted:Is "pregnancy center" a specific pro life thing? Huh, makes a little bit more sense now. Yes "pregnancy centers" are fake women health centers. Real planned parenthoods, and similar providers, offer a huge number of obgyn health services and counseling of which abortion is only one. Pregnancy centers whole MO is it trick pregnant women into coming into the door and then use a mix of misinformation and bulling to convince them not to get an abortion. They have no actual medical staff, and even if you want to carry a pregnancy to term they have nothing useful to offer you. The idea that they need state funding for some reason is supreme bullshit.

The real ones usually call themselves "maternity homes" and they have facilities to help pregnant women who are homeless or abused and need a safe place to carry to term.

Also I forget if I learned it from that video or it happened afterwards, but California passed a law that forced them to disclose up front that they do not provide abortions or have any actual medical staff, and the Supreme Court struck it down. Any place that provides actual, medical, pre-natal care will make this extremely clear, and anything billed as a pregnancy center or similar without this qualifier I'd never give the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah they'll be wicked cagey even if you're straight up "Do you provide abortions?" because they want to get you into the room so they can abuse you into agreeing not to abort your child.

I, one of the two people who must have boarded this craft at some point, have suddenly realized that the vessel is in fact, The Titanic. I am aware that Titanics always sink, this is the nature of Titanics. Joe Biden is trying to reassure me that nothing bad will happen, because his policies will help, but his policies are also the Titanic and, as previously mentioned, going to sink.

 gently caress it, it's Sinfest Sunday   Your occasional reminder, if you needed it, that Tats is 100% sure nobody ever does sex work voluntarily. There are no exhibitionist, people who like stripping, or just straight-up people OK with being prostitutes.    "I'm Tatsuya Ishida, and I'm not even sure what I'm saying anymore. Panem! That's a thing, right? Hunger Games."  So glad to go to my local "Woman XX" bathroom, which is definitely how bathrooms are labeled and not my misanthropic bullshit.  As usual, I get to the end of a sunday Sinfest comic and just go "....Ok. Cool." in a flat monotone, trying to parse out what his wordless word salad means.

Vib Rib posted:This... doesn't make any sense in his universe. In Sinfestland, sex work only exists to hurt people. If real sex workers get replaced by AI, no one is harmed. The ruling class (or Devilcorp or whatever the latest metaphor rattling in the artist's brain is) would never implement or even entertain this idea because it relieves harm, which is the only reason sex work happens here. He's really going full circle on this poo poo. In Sinfest land, the sex workers originally were all mass-produced robots designed by DevilCorp specifically for sex work. And then at some point he had them start gaining sentience and realizing that no, they didn't enjoy sex work as it was always 100% abusive towards them. There was a whole sex robot revolt thing. And so now he's back to robots doing the sex work so that poor, innocent, real women will no longer be forced to do so, because as has been mentioned before, women are utterly incapable of making the choice to do sex work willingly. It's always coercion or delusion that they only THINK they want to get into it.

SWERFs like to pretend not to know people need money and removing one of the only job options some people have will hurt them, not help. If they earnestly wanted to help people victimized by that industry, they'd advocate for a social security net so that nobody can be forced by poverty into jobs that will harm them.

But then they might be forced to acknowledge that there are some people who just genuinely want to be sex workers, because they know that even if they remove the negative externalities, even if they prevented 100% of trafficking, 100% of coersive sex work, 100% of the bad, exploitative pornography, they'll come up against a fundimental truth: There's a whole lot of people who like showing or using their naughty bits for fun and profit, even if they had other options. It's the "You could be doing another job, you're being exploited" version of that guy who went to a sex worker forum to try to sell them on using bitcoin expecting them all to be ditzes only to find out that they're, for the most part, pretty savvy businesswomen and businessmen and businessfemboys and whatever who happen to like, enjoy, or at least tolorate showing off their bits for cash.

 Rowe:  Governor of Royal Bank of Australia Philip Lowe said he was too busy for a press conference but then had a private meeting at a lunch at Barrenjoey with the leaders of the big banks. Then that afternoon there was a selloff of bond futures as speculation is made that Lowe let slip he wants to raise Australia's cash rate to the level of the US (quite a bit higher than Australia). The government is getting vocally annoyed with him. Knight:  News Corp online papers crop off parts of their cartoon so I don't know what quip the cartoon cow thing said. Lethbridge:  India beats Australia convincingly in the first Test match. Broelman:  Commentary before the match was full of theories about how the pitch was designed to favour India's bowlers.

So, another attack on trans people.

That's because in TERFland, when a man wants to be a woman, it's for evil perverted reasons directed towards your 12 year old daughter. When a woman wants to be a man, it's because they're just confused or were somehow manipulated, because the TERFs still consider them women and therefore incapable of thinking rationally and in need of rescue by a man.
