Oof haha the fact that pro-lifers wanna ban this forum is sick and twisted. They don't wanna talk with us about how we actually feel, why we actually feel this way, they don't wanna listen, and they wanna take away a place where we can actually talk about our struggles and feelings without judgment with people who actually empathize and care and actually offer feedback and support and do listen, instead of what pro-lifers do which is to ignore everything they dont wanna hear or talk about because it's ~uncomfortable~ for them... and instead just offer the same useless platitudes over and over and over. People who sign that petition will feel good about themselves and then go on to do absolutely nothing to actually help and support suicidal people and it's sickening. The problem so many of us have with pro-lifers is that if the effort was to actually put in place meaningful, life changing support that could actually help suicidal people in a realistic way, and have the understanding that some people's circumstances and mental health just can't be fixed, that'd be one thing. But that's not how it is. Instead, they don't want to actually offer any care or support or help, they just want to prevent suicide, not make people actually feel better, just stop them from acting on it while still continuing to be miserable, and then they turn around and pat themselves on the back for "saving" someone and it's disgusting. The pro lifer will just smile and pat your shoulder and go It Gets Better :~) and go gee whiz look I saved someone today I'm so good. And then when confronted with the fact that oh hey look it didn't get better, it hasn't gotten better for 20 years, they just tune that part out.
