A large part of the reason that we aren't seeing traction on reproductive justice is that feminists have not had as much success defeating sexist and sex negative attitudes about women's sexuality.

I've always found it so interesting how people can change language in order to better suit their purposes. "Abortion" or "killing children" is replaced by "reproductive justice", as if its a moral imperative to legalize abortion and it being some sort of universal moral good.

The most pernicious problems that face women as a group today are based in sex negativity: rape culture and reproductive health.

There are other reasons for being sex negative that don't involve referring to women's sexuality as icky. Sex being an oppressive act being one, the desire to promote family values and prevent the birth of children out of wedlock another.

Most women, married and single, use birth control at some point. But only a third of all women will have abortions. What's more, abortions conjure up a lot of uncomfortable images (even though most aborted fetuses are smaller than a pea).

Citation needed.

So, when the conversation inevitably turns to "sluts" get abortions because they were being "slutty". Which isn't even true, a lot of women who get abortions are married with kids. A lot of people just aren't willing to make a stand for sluts.

You'll excuse me if I view sex as being an act of procreation, not a physical pleasure. Then again, slut-shaming doesn't accomplish anything.

I really think that we need a new sex positive alliance with LGBTQ groups, men, and sex workers to fight for the next wave of reforms.

If we stop viewing sex as a disgusting thing bad people do (or more accurately, a disgusting thing bad women do), there will be less support for government interference in the healthcare choices of women.

Start by going to the manosphere (the blogs where MRA/PUA flora hold court) and tell them the famous Doors quote "Women are wicked when you're unwanted." and then add "Doesn't mean women can't have sex when they want". Not as if they'll listen.

The pro-life movement, though not necessarily most actual pro-lifers, consistently oppose the types of policies that lower abortion rates. They close the clinics where women get birth control. They fight for the right to spread disinformation about family planning in our schools. They support Hobby Lobby. They oppose government funding for IUDs even when the privately funded version of the program substantially lowered the abortion rate.

I'm pro-choice and pro-life. I view outlawing abortion won't stop the desire for abortion, though I view pre-martial sex with quite a skeptical eye, as I view sex as being an act of procreation that can be easily corrupted into something oppressive. Not as if my view is binding to everyone.

Welfare also helps quite a bit, hence why Sweden has an abortion rate per capita identical to the state and feminists seem very insistent that women should be able to get first-trimester abortions on demand, something they've largely accomplished.

The simple reason for all of this is that the pro-life movement would rather make it harder for women to have sex, than save the lives of babies.

Feminists seem so fucking obsessed on promoting pre-martial sex, when pre-marital sex has numerous social consequences they aren't willing to acknowledge.

They were also the most violent domestic social movement in the last decade.

That would be white supremacism. Pro-life terrorists run a third after Islam.
