Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Those who hold power have already said it with their abortion bans with no exemptions in case of rape.

Nobody has been using it as a slogan, genius.

The phrase “your body, my choice” appears to have made its way offline, specifically into schools. Young girls and parents have used social media to share instances of offline harassment. They include the phrase being directed at them within schools or chanted by young boys in classes.

On Facebook, the phrase “your body, my choice” is currently trending, with 52,000 posts in the last 24 hours. One parent stated: “Today my daughter was told three separate times on campus ‘your body, MY choice.’ The third group of boys told her to ‘sleep with one eye open tonight.’”

So, a handful of little shits at a school, use it, and it's official?

Is a 52k trending post not sufficient to qualify as a slogan? That's more pull than most marketing campaigns actually achieve.

If anything, little (and not so little, the incidents are being reported on campus) shits using it is worse, because it's a pretty good reflection of where the next generation is headed.

Why is it so important to you to be right about this?

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago

Actions speak louder. But at least it's not overt marketing yet.

Supposedly it was coined by some right wing influencer and went viral

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

So it started with someone saying it seriously? Ick.

I assume it's ultimately serious (they want to drop the pretense that it's about the value of the life of a fetus) but a use of irony poisoning on some level. Some real zero self awareness assholes regardless.
