Jezebel posted an interesting interview Saturday with Viva Ruiz, founder of Thank God for Abortion, who entered a Thank God for Abortion float in New York City’s pride march last month, because “we’re past the binary” and “abortion rights are queer rights.”
Language warning, by the way:
"Abortion rights are queer rights…it's about the right to do what I want with this body." Our chat with Viva Ruiz, founder of Thank God for Abortion: pic.twitter.com/5yEtQrZQER

In case you didn’t make it all the way through the video, Ruiz, who’s had two abortions, says she celebrates your right to have 20 abortions … “I’ll throw you a party … it’s a celebration!”
She wants to “inject joy” into abortion because it’s a celebration of autonomy, you see, and a rejection of white supremacy and the police state or something.
Wait until they can detect sexual orientation in the embryonic stage and parents can choose from there. Let’s see if you maintain this advocacy.

“Thank God for abortion.”
I don’t know where to even start with this. You people are sick.

just so you're aware, Jezebel, propping this kind of madness up on a pedestal as if it's progressive and transformative just makes you and your entire publication look unhinged and backwards

What's a queer right? Lmao, it's so bizarre to be that happy about killing a human and traumatizing a mother for life. Nice float though
