re: abortion
(this quote is from 'Jane: An Abortion Service'. It's available on Kanopy if your local library has a subscription there)
abortion, religion (not the connection you would expect tho)
«Based on a moral imperative, Howard Moody, a Baptist minister, founded the first clergy group, the New York Clergy Consultation Service on Abortion. He encouraged clergymen throughout the country to set up similar networks to help women get safe abortions. These clergy groups, with the moral standing of organized religion, played a public role, announcing their work in the newspapers, framing the issue in more terms and advocating for legislative change. Both the clergy and women's liberation groups sought out competent abortionists, negotiated the price, raised money to pay for abortions and counseled thousands of women. Not only did they help women, but, by breaking the law, they also undermined it.»
@Lady 'identified women' 'identified straight men' etc
@Satsuma what does this mean
@Satsuma like as opposed to unidentified women?
@Lady well she's talking about abortions so I assume she's mostly trying to be clear that she's not correlating uteri and womanhood yeah it's very strange language
the woman giving this talk cannot stop putting the word 'identified' before like, everything
it's kinda charming in an 'older person is trying' kinda way
