For example, I don’t use TikTok. I never have, and I never will, and I’d advise everyone else to get off the platform too. I genuinely believe it’s objectively harmful to people’s mental health and possibly even a threat to democracy. That said, I also believe people should be free to decide for themselves whether they want to use it or not, which is why I’m against the U.S. government banning it.

I don't like abortion, I have grave qualms about it. I'm also vehemently pro-choice.

until we live in a society where being pregnant and giving birth does not endanger your health, security, and social status, prohibiting abortion simply can't be an option.

I just think people should go to doctors, discuss what they think is best for their life, and do what they think is best for themselves. Doctors have licenses and review boards, those boards will see what practices are occuring and make research driven decisions on whether someone is practicing medicine in a way that is improper and revoke their license. Politicians aren't licensed medical doctors, and shouldn't have any say in what you and your doctor decides is the best course for you.

If someone wants to have an arm sewn onto their forehead, and a doctor discussed it with them and found somehow that was possibly the healthiest option for them, then who the fuck am I to say anything about it.

The problem here is "abortion" gets conflated with "reproductive health care". There are all sorts of reasons a woman might require aborting a pregnancy that have nothing to do with birth control.

My daughter had an ectopic pregnancy about 10 years ago. The procedure she underwent would be considered an abortion, even though there was no chance of survival. She was concerned the procedure would affect her ability to become pregnant later. But now I have 2 year old granddaughter that loves popcorn and 3d printed flexi animals and getting bopped in the head with marshmallow toys.
