*  AH! Thank you, Heidi Seltz! Leave it to a new generation of feminists to find exactly the right words to get through to these characters who always know the "correct" answers to how other people (women) should run their lives.
*  Until you have a uterus, your opinion is just that....yours. You don't get to decide for others what they can or can't do.
*  as a friend suggested to me recently that if you do not believe in abortions...do not have one. have not seen many adoptions or support of the unwanted by the rich and opinionated on the subject.
*  As another wise woman pointed out, "If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament." It ain't your body, boys--it ain't your business.
*  If men could get pregnant not only would abortions be legal they'd be available on demand at any clinic or hospital.
*  I'm sick of old, white, reactionary men making decisions about what a woman does with her body--especially since they are also against anything but abstinence-only sex education, against readily-available birth control for women through insurance and against any kind of safety net for the results of unwanted pregnancy. They aren't pro-life, they're only pro-fetus.

Woman Tells Men To STFU About Abortion In 3 Glorious Sentences

“Unless you have a woman’s body, I don’t want to hear your opinion.”

By Jenna Amatulli, July 1, 2016

Don’t mess with Heidi. She’s had enough of men speaking on issues that impact women’s bodies.

In what is probably the greatest letter to the editor of all time, a woman named Heidi Seltz wrote to the Minneapolis Star Tribune with a request.

After the paper published two letters from anti-abortion men regarding the Supreme Court’s landmark  ruling on Texas’ insanely restrictive H.B. 2 abortion legislation, Seltz weighed in with a strongly-worded letter to the editor.

“Perhaps newspaper readership among young people would grow if every time we opened a paper, we didn’t have to read old men’s fusty opinions about uteri,” she wrote. (See the full letter below.)

Damn, Heidi.

The Supreme Court’s historic decision to strike down H.B. 2 was one of the most significant victory for abortion rights since Roe v. Wade.

Seltz’s message to editors and men alike goes hand-in-hand with Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s pointed concurrence to the June 27 SCOTUS decision — specifically her commentary on the insanity of claiming that anti-abortion legislation “protects women.” As Ginsburg wrote:

Given those realities, it is beyond rational belief that H.B. 2 could genuinely protect the health of women, and certain that the law ‘would simply make it more difficult for them to obtain abortions’. When a State severely limits access to safe and legal procedures, women in desperate circumstances may resort to unlicensed rogue practitioners ... at great risk to their health and safety.

Long live Notorious RBG and Heidi Seltz.
