This is the kind of garbage that teen girls are being taught
“It was the best, most mature decision I made in my life, because I got to determine my future." ???? https://t.co/qxVQMQO13T

You know I prefer to avoid getting into a discussion of abortion on demand, but this is truly demented. From the insane story by Elly Belle
Teens Are Speaking Up About Their Abortions Through Youth Testify
The new program is helping young people advocate for their reproductive rights.
When 22-year-old Jessy first learned she was pregnant, she was in shock. At the time, she was a junior at the University of California, Riverside, the president of her campus chapter of Planned Parenthood Generation Action, and a reproductive rights activist. Still, she said she never quite imagined herself as someone who might someday be fighting for her own right to have an abortion.
“I just didn’t know what to do for myself even though I knew what I would always tell others,” Jessy told Teen Vogue. “Knowing that what was inside me kept growing as time progressed really did take an emotional toll on me, my grades, my social life… it wasn’t until after I got my abortion that I got some sort of relief.
One would have thought with that SJW abortionista pedigree she would have understood the need to have responsible, protected sex.
Jessy was ultimately able to get an abortion, and now she is one of 13 young people between the ages of 17 and 24 who will be participating in Youth Testify. The new leadership program being launched by Advocates for Youth and the National Network of Abortion Funds (NNAF) is specifically for young people who have had abortions and want to share their stories to change the conversation around abortion and combat misinformation. “Because of all the hurdles I had to go through with insurance, I had to play the waiting game for so long, and because there’s so much stigma surrounding abortion, I was ashamed and didn’t try to reach out for more help,†Jessy told Teen Vogue.
Or, she could have just paid for the abortion herself. Better yet, had protected sex.
Youth Testify aims to provide these resources, and simultaneously reframe the narrative around abortion by giving platform to some of the most vulnerable abortion storytellers — particularly people of color, LGBTQ people, and people with varying abilities and citizenship statuses. The goal of the program, according to the NNAF, is to show that young people who have had abortions are the experts on reproductive rights as well as the experts of their own experiences, and must be trusted with making decisions without anyone else’s permission. The participants come from states all over the country including California, Illinois, Mississippi, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, and Washington, and have had anywhere from 1 to 3 abortions. Through a range of trainings, including community organizing trainings, and teachings on how to bring attention to the financial and logistical barriers to abortion that young people, the participants will learn how to tell their own stories while gaining a deeper understanding of abortion and reproductive rights so they can uplift and fight for others who face challenging circumstances.
So, we’re supposed to listen to the people who became pregnant through irresponsible, unprotected sex as the experts?
And although Veronika, a 19-year-old Latina woman (it’s great that Liberals put everyone in a Box, eh?), was ultimately granted the right to an abortion without approval from a parent or guardian, it didn’t make the process any less nerve-wracking. “It was stressful emotionally because I was really scared they would say no,†Veronika told Teen Vogue. But she also wants the world to know how much relief and joy her ability to get an abortion has brought her, and that she has no regrets. “It was the best, most mature decision I made in my life, because I got to determine my future. I made a decision for myself and for a child, that I wasn’t ready emotionally, mentally, or financially.â€
I would have thought that the most mature decision would been to not have irresponsible, unprotected sex with a person(s) that she didn’t want to have a baby with. And that is exactly where this type of insanity goes completely off the rails, as these SJW abortionistas are pushing abortions rather than safe, responsible, protected sex. They’re positioning the murder of an unborn life as the mature response, that it’s no big deal whatsoever. What they are saying is “just go ahead and have sex, no big deal, don’t worry about protection, just have an abortion!” Psychos. This is not a healthy attitude.
It was a night devoted to self-expression, body positivity, and creativity in ALL its forms. https://t.co/TkEutTLCF8

These same people are also pushing obesity as being OK, as well, but, that’s a different rant
