If you’re a person
ACLU not helping AS USUAL.
It’s not persons this enslavement is done to, it’s WOMEN.
The ACLU is so determinedly not an ally that it’s become an enemy. Yesterday of all days they still erased women – when talking about abortion needs!
And the inclusion of “person” there is so fuck-you deliberate, isn’t it? It makes the sentence unnecessarily jarring. They could have written “If you’re trying to get an abortion”. The only reason they put the “person” in there was to make a big show of deliberately not using “woman”.
It absolutely is. That’s why I took it for the title. It’s ridiculously stilted, as you say, and it’s precisely to say “Look how determined we are to erase women from this conversation! We even go out of our way to do it!”
