A symbol for back-alley abortions. Dangerous, painful, and scary, representing some of the most important reasons why legal abortion is necessary. One assumes the slash through it means "abortion should not be illegal", but I have to admit it's not the clearest symbol in the bunch.

Grandmothers in the United States get it.

[-] xantoxis@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

It's less that the wire hanger is an unknown icon of the abortion struggle (it isn't), and more that the symbol is presented in an unclear way: does the slash mean "no abortions"? Or "no, abortions!" The thing is, both forced birth advocates and pro choice advocates would hate the wire hanger, just for different reasons.

Risky abortions have been around since time immemorial. The coathanger arose during the 20th century as an alternative to poisoning one's self with pennyroyal or ascorbic acid to induce a miscarriage.

The point of modern abortions is they are safe, and in fact considerably safer than pregnancy. Our anti-abortion community wants to punish women for participating in sex, even when they do not consent, either by suffering through pregnancy or through a risky miscarriage.

And their other policy positions reveal they have no actual interest in the welfare of the child.

So it's a symbol in suppprt of safe and legal abortions? I mean I guess it's better than having a baby crossed out or smth.

Anarchism

[-] h3mlocke@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Lmao, "atheism"

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago

Anarchism. The circle-A drawn like that (without the lines extending beyond the circle) is how it's traditionally drawn.

I don't think you got a notification when Numuruzero said they're just joshing you, they think it's for atheism

what does the colours flag mean ?

[-] uriel238 35 points 1 year ago

🏳️‍🌈 LGBT+ Pride

Also Apple Computer, circa 1970s. Vivid colors on your VHS and Betamax recordings. And a lot of kid's stuff including Sesame Street.

But in this case, LGBT+ pride.

What's with the coat-hanger one? Isn't that a pro-life symbol?

[-] DrDominate@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago

I think it's more pro abortion because banning abortion leads to a rise in unsafe "coat hanger" abortions.

[-] riodoro1@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

This. I was confused with it at first, especially because it was in an ambiguous circumstances. But it does make sense, come to think if it there is no real symbol for anti-abortion you can easily cross out and expect everyone to know what it means.

After so many comments, i would like to say that my intention was to post a inclusive image.

when i read fuzzy memory i thought it was a complementary concept to fuzzy logic and asked myself why on earth you would want your stored data to be fuzzy.
