I Love Miniatures!  Also, The Tiny Phone Made Me Think Of This:

Planned Parenthood is not selling organs.

Fetuses don’t have organs that are worthwhile to anyone. Most organs are developing throughout all 40 weeks. Most abortions (89% in 2010) happen in the 1st trimester/12 weeks. (For amount comparison: A fetus is 3 inches long and 1oz in weight at the end of the first trimester.)

Fetuses do have fetal tissue, which can be used to make stem cells.

Stem cells are used to find cures and treatments for various diseases (like diabetes and Parkinson’s) and injuries (like crushed spinal cords.)

Fetal tissue has already been used to make many of our vaccines.

Planned Parenthood performs abortions and - if the patient permits it - donates the fetal tissue to organizations who wish to use it.

This includes people who need abortions for health reasons.

There are people who have lost their wanted pregnancies due to disease and conditions.

They may choose to donate fetal tissue to help others from suffering through the same heartache.

As noted above, fetal stem cells do a lot of good. Even if the person chooses a “therapeutic” abortion, they may donate the fetal tissue to help people with diseases, conditions, and injuries that may benefit from research.

Planned Parenthood is charging for storage, handling, and transportation of the specimen.

At $30 to $100, that’s a pretty minimal cost and reasonable.

Also, it’s perfectly legal.

Seriously, research that needs/uses fetal tissue may help hundreds, maybe thousands, of people.

Planned Parenthood isn’t nefarious.

Fetal tissue may be the key to treating and curing diseases,conditions, and injuries that affect thousands and their families.

Abortion is going to happen, anyway. Fetuses are going to die, anyway. Their tissue can help people.

For whatever we lose (a you or a me) it’s always ourselves we find in the sea.  - E.E. Cummings

Ok, having depression or any kind of mood disorder fucking sucks. It can make even the simplest tasks feel overwhelming and impossible. But if you’re feeling shitty and you wake up and are able to accomplish any of these things you deserve a fucking medal. I know shit is hard but you’re not alone. Take solace in the little things. Just because they’re small doesn’t mean they’re not important. Little steps are never a bad place to start. 

Ugh!

This is an elected representative smashing a homeless person’s possessions with a sledgehammer. Worst person ever?

When you try and turn #BlackLivesMatter into All Lives Matter, what you’re saying is “I don’t feel included.” You’re saying “I don’t feel like a part of the conversation.” Here’s the thing, though. White people aren’t a part of the movement, because the movement is about the oppression involved in institutional racism, and that’s something white people have never experienced. Plain and simple. It isn’t including you because it isn’t about you.

Thank you myannoyances for laying the smack down on my Facebook when one of my elementary school teachers continued to argue #AllLivesMatter and then started with the “black on black crime” bullshit. By that point I was too angry to even respond.  (via chescaleigh)
