My favourite fact about Iceland is that we have many, many crime writers but only one forensic pathologist, and he was so busy answering all of their questions that he decided to have a small seminar for writers to get some peace.
It immediately sold out so he had another one that also sold out.

100%.
The whole “Let’s ban late-stage abortions” argument is the gateway opinion to being 100% anti-choice. Let us control our own damn bodies.

Less than
1%
of all abortions happen in the 3rd trimester.
Data shows they happen bc of
1) medical necessity for pregnant person
2) tragedy re: fetal health
3) lack of access to care earlier, or
4) didn’t know was pregnant (more common w/teens)
This?👇is bullshit.
Enough paternalism.
