Excellent post RainAndSadness as always and I appreciate your efforts to debunk myths and call out disingenuous, bad faith news reporters and the other pro-lifer groups trying to censor and spread misinformation. I will say that SaSu has benefitted me in a way where I can have a safe-space and a place where I can actually speak my mind without fear of censorship or even be moralized by the majority of others. There is very few other places where one can really speak about the topic of suicide (at least without censorship) and be free from the moralizing agents who like to stigmatize the act itself.
Even the pro-lifers who claim to destigmatize suicide and discussion of suicide are ironically doing the opposite, because by controlling the narrative, and still censoring any other view other than what the status quo and popular view on suicide is, is only going to further stigmatize people who really want to go. If pro-lifers really wished to destigmatize suicide itself, they would have to accept other unpopular views and different views to suicide other than it is wrong and/or it is a disease, but we know that's not going to happen anytime soon. Furthermore, a big step in the medical community is to depathologize and demedicalize suicide itself and recognize that it can be a rational decision made by an independent, legal adult wishing to exercise one's own bodily autonomy. Anyways, I digress a bit, but once again, thank you for your efforts to call out pro-lifers' bullshit as always.
