I think a lot of people don't see women as fully human. I think they think they do, but I don't think they do. Help keep the videos coming - Patreon: / yesreneau Stalk me - Insta: @yesreneau
Your anger and your passion is powerful!!! As women we all know what it’s like to be told our suffering ‘isn’t that bad’ or that we shouldn’t make a big deal of it. We need people like you to remind everyone the reality of this. As you said, things like this don’t, CAN’T, happen in a vacuum.
Why not just have sex more responsibly? I mean a large majority of abortions were for the woman’s “convenience”. We don’t care about what you do with your bodies. We care about the body growing INSIDE of your body. It was after all a group of men that gave you this privilege in the 70’s stfu. Please.
"What you do is powerful, what you say is powerful, and who you are is powerful" -yesreneau Whoa... Idk if you came up with that quote on your own but it was freaking brilliant! 😮
In the UK we have a law where the woman gets to choose and it's not illegal in any part of the country. We have free healthcare which means that any woman under any social background or financial status can choose and has the right to choose. I can't believe what's happening in the US.
Cool. In the US we have 3 branches of government, one of which is the Supreme Court, which is the only part of the Federal judiciary required by the US Constitution. The role of the Supreme Court is to interpret text, and today’s interpretation says that a previous Supreme Court opinion (Roe v Wade) was not supported by the Constitution and generally had very weak reasoning. As a result, the issue will be decided at the State level. In case you didn’t know, States are separate entities from the Federal government (which is where the Supreme Court resides). Therefore, today’s Supreme Court decision empowers all citizens who elect their State representatives; and the specific law covered by Roe v Wade will vary from State-to-State as per the preferences of the citizens of each State participating in a healthy democracy.
@@EdBball99 Reading your comment really makes me think of how flawed our system can be. The idea of having state laws and federal laws never made sense to me. I mean, I guess it makes sense to have different laws at the state level for issues specific to that state, but for something like abortion that literally has the same affect on a citizen regardless of the state they live in? Yeah, to me it makes zero sense to limit someones rights based on their location.
@@EdBball99 So, do you think all judicially recognized rights rooted in the substantive due process clause should be returned to the states? The 9th Amendment would like a word…
@@EdBball99 Also, GOP is already eyeing a federal abortion ban. To reduce the right to an abortion as merely an issue of federalism is at best naive and at worst wholly disengenious.
You should make another video on this topic. I'm surprised how many women shaming comments I'm hearing online and even people around me in person supporting this ruling. All the blame goes on the woman. It's all her responsibility they say. I don't know, I'm kind of surprised at all the women shaming - and it's not just men, other women are doing it too.
Consent to sex is NOT consent to pregnancy. It's super easy to be pro life without putting any work to help women. In the US, there is no federal childcare program and no family planning [parental leave, etc.]. Being pro life basically condemns women and will foster resentment for motherhood for all the unplanned pregnancies. Fundamentally, this is about personhood. If people who are pro life support personhood, then fight for foster care and destitute. I wonder how different America would be if people cared more about living humans more than a fetus?
Dear YesReneau thank you so much for being vocal about this and articulate my rage so eloquently. You and I are the same age (I’m 28 and will turn 29 next month) and it’s so sad because as a child in the 90s I remember seeing women like our First Lady, and other strong women like RBG having incredible places in society and feeling so fortunate to be a girl born in my era when women had so much more potential in society and were becoming a force to be reckoned with in the workplace. I am now left feeling so baffled and horrified simultaneously at how this country no longer resembles the one I was born into and how a right I’ve had my entire life is no longer. It’s tragic, just tragic to think that a remarkable era of progress for womankind may just be reduced to nothing more than a bedtime story or fairytale when I eventually have daughters. Please yesreneau if you would ever be willing I’d love to zoom chat or talk on an IG live. I love your take on this issue and I love that it’s coming from a woman who is my age.
Why are they different or separate? Surely you understand that you can get pregnant if you have sex. Surely you can take the necessary precautions to not become pregnant if you don’t want a child. What is empowering about seeing a positive pregnancy test and saying “terminate it”?
@@matthewk2388 very fair. I disagree, however. If you really don’t want to become pregnant, there are ways of ensuring that (including not engaging in sex). And to be honest, I highly doubt that the overwhelmingly majority of people who get abortions are in that 1% of precautions that fail. It’s more likely that they were not careful, and would like an “out” for their mistake. I can’t respect this and believe it creates the wrong incentives for younger people. Thank you for the considerate reply btw
@@matthewk2388 what kind of psycho plans of pregnancy? What are you waiting for the new 2023 model or something? Babies are supposed to be a product of love, not the byproduct of your controversial sexual choices. Stop sleeping around LOL I'm just laughing my ass off now because all of the cheating hose out there can secretly abort their children to keep their relationships going.
How long do you think it takes for Planned Parenthood to send planes to states like Texas and get the girls out of public schools without the parents' knowledge but with the schools full cooperation?
I found this comment and I’d like to know your thoughts on it: I support abortion rights and think that there needs to be (and should have been) actual legislative legalization of abortion. Roe v Wade was a flimsy protection of access to abortions. Roe v Wade never enshrined access to abortion by making abortion explicitly legal, because the supreme court does not pass laws. What it did was contended that the right to privacy established by the 14th amendment would allow for women to get an abortion. RGB is getting some (deserved) flak with this issue, but she was a supporter of abortion access and also thought Roe was a bad decision. She said (and I agree) that Roe halted a political process that was moving towards an actual legalization bill. It took the energy out of the movement pushing for legislation. I'm also tired of dems using the issue as a carrot on a stick. Whenever they had the opportunity to pass an actual legalization bill, it got shelved. They didn't want to spend the political capital to pass a bill allowing access to abortion because 1) Roe existed and 2) they would have to give up that thing they trot out whenever they need to fundraise. I expect that overturning the decision will effectively force their hand the next time the dems have legislative control.
Thanks for this video! I have my own beliefs and observations! I think women are the Bottom when it comes to human race! I also believe that the breath of life doesn’t happen (the soul entering the baby) until the first breath and that happens at birth!! I believe that the soul can enter the baby in the womb but rarely! I know this may sound like it has nothing to do with the topic but it doesn’t make sense for people to make decision about a womens body and life when they don’t even know exact sciences and God issues they went beyond their powers!
What about that babies rights to live. Who watches over them and speaks up for them. You are right, “equal rights.” Meaning the right for that baby to live instead of taking its life because you don’t want to deal with the consequences of Your own actions. This is for women and men. This culture is so “ME! ME! ME!” About EVERYTHING. This is not a Men vs Women issue. It’s not taking away your rights it’s protecting the child that you created because You won’t.
Hi guys-I’m talking to all the women here in the comments. I just found YesReneau’s channel and I have really enjoyed her content. I literally have been in a of distress over this ruling because ultimately it is all about control and the historical abuse of the collective male experience towards women. It feels like we reverted 70 years in just a few days. We have treated women akin to property that we acquire like donkeys (see Old Testament) and I am so sick that in 2022, people who believe in fiction think they have a right to control other people. This has been try disheartening because it has been reinforcing how unjust this world is and how degenerative it can become. I hope that in some way things do improve and I am sorry for all the male aggression historically. I can only do my part-the collective abuse ends with me.
So upon reading comments on this topic I'm seeing the same comments for this ruling - women should learn how to close their legs, just use contraception and there's no problem. I can't believe how ignorant a lot of people are. Thank you for this video, you are so right on in saying we are no longer equal
"If a women chooses to have sex, that is her not choosing to support another person." Can anyone explain to me why is this the case? I believe that the ultimate function of sex is to reproduce tho. Please change my mind, as I will remain open minded! And yes, I agree men should be responsible to this as well.
@@emaliehendel2309 No, I know people are eager to have sex for recreational purposes. But I think people should be aware of the consequences of their actions before doing so.
Sex is more than a reproductive function. It's also a normal, healthy part of human life. Saying it's just for reproduction would exclude 95% of society from an act that is a positive and intrinsic part of being human (basically everyone who isn't at 100% healthy, financially stable and at a very specific point in their life where they are in position to raise a child) It's also just unrealistic. The whole of human history is evidence that abstinence as a policy doesn't work, but sex education and family planning does. I guess you have to decide if you want to live the dark ages or a modern enlightened society.
You cant expect people to be responsible, look at criminald for example, this is not a perfect society, sex will be used for recreational purposes more often than not, with that said, i hope they reconsider the stipulations towards abortion.
Sure perhaps we evolved to love sex so that we could procreate and advance the species, buuuuuuuuut, as humans, one of our defining features is that we can overcome the limitations of our biology in order to experience more of what the world has to offer. If we only had sex for the purposes of procreation, we would only have sex maybe a handful of times in our life. Then, done. Over. No more sex. Not even with your husband or wife. Fortunately, we understand that sex can be so much more than that. Sex can be an important act to help us further solidify our loving bond years into marriage. It can be an act of vulnerability, a gift you give a new lover to let them a little bit closer into your world. Or it can be purely for the rich experience that hedonism offers. Because that is what life is, is getting to taste many different flavors of life and choosing what best fits you and your soul. When you strip a woman of her dignity and reduce her to little more than a baby-making factory… that’s when I think we’ve fucked up by locking someone into one perspective of what sex is useful for. Even if sex has a very utilitarian function of propagating a species, that does not mean this function is the most useful for feeding that person’s soul.
While I agree with abortion being legal, I can’t help but ask these questions. Do you think the government should pay for abortions? Cause they shouldn’t. If you want one, nobodies tax dollars should pay for it and the question of whether it should be much more affordable is another discussion. Furthermore, it’s not like they outlawed abortion- it’s up to each state. And frankly, seeing a bunch of ppl riot in the streets of LA tickled me- as if the governor of California would ban abortions. I just think the overall message starts off in a straw man and it’s difficult to have a conversation with you (ppl who are on the other side) if that’s how it’s initially approached. You have a right to your opinion and are 100% free to use your voice, but your words don’t matter more than another’s. Everyone has their own opinion and it’s really just that simple.
Ppl should use this as an opportunity of empowerment- empowerment to vote in state elections to create what you want. America is basically comprised of 50 little countries when you think about it.. move to and where best fits you.
@@matthewk2388 Or you are just afraid to admit that you claim to support women, but refuse to define what they are. Women are now have to compete with men in their own sports, it is the ultimate elimination of women's rights, and you are a supporter of that.
So it went from a right to a luxury? You want the luxury of having as much sex as you want and being able to not deal with the consequences. First world problems
Love your channel, but I have to disagree with you on this. Because I can not respond adequately in the comment section, I highly recommend that you read the majority opinion by Aleto, and also watch Matt Fradd's interview of Stephanie Gray Connors about the "violinist argument" on the channel "Pints With Aquinas". Here she lays out steel man arguments for abortion, including the ones you have mentioned in this video, and she demolishes them. This educated me incredibly, and I think it would be, at the very least, a counterargument to help refine your own belief.
@@matthewk2388 haha death is natural and inevitable - so based on your logic it is not evil to bring upon death to someone because of those two facts. Wholesome logic.
@Brayden Dukes I notice you dismissively tell yesreneau to go off and read Alito's majority opinion, but don't ask her to read the dissenting opinions. Why is that? Can it be that you are comfortable only considering the arguments on one side of a question? As long as we are telling people to go off and read something, why don't you read Judith Jarvis Thompson's original paper on the weakness of the anti-abortion arguments, rather than view second-hand versions of it? Because if you don't, you can't be sure that all you are being exposed to are straw man arguments made by adversaries of Thompson's position.
Women are fully humans, unborn are fully humans. Don't need to be able kill my children to be equal as men. Don't need to kill my children to have dignity. No sexism, just women and men fighting to protect the BODY of the unborn.
I’m glad. Be responsible with sex & birth control methods. Simple. As a man. We’d be happy if we got rid of alimony & child support. How about that?? Men lives matter too.
Here's what I think right, if it passed well good, we need less people in this overpopulated country anyway, the current situation, well women close your legs or use contraceptives or tell the guy to use them too.
To say the consequences of sex aren't equal now after the fact is just disingenuous. It wasn't fair to men before but no one lost sleep over that. Get rid of laws requiring partners to pay child support/alimony unless it's by choice then I'll stand with you. Until then, nada. Either partner should be able to back out of dealing with a pregnancy or neither partner shouldn't. All I see hear is women being held accountable and complaing about. Nothing more, nothing less. I still stand behind women wanting abortions if they were raped and submit to a rape kit test as evidence, incest, or the chance of the mother or child dying through the birthing process. But I cannot support your idea of saying that things were 'equal' before the repeal because they weren't. Another female content creator bites the dust I geuss. It was good while it lasted. Peace. 🍻
I'm against *Abortion* But...! This is such an overreach. By a Huge proportion. Everyone has right to their own beliefs and opinion. As long as it doesn't frown upon others. First *Canadians* (on SocialMedia) C-11 Bill now this? Talk about going backwards as a *Society*
Abortion is murder. 98-99% is avoidable if a woman chooses not to be intimate. If you bare the greater portion of the risk, then you also bare a greater portion of the responsibility. Actions have consequences. It might not be what people want to hear, but it's the reality.
In following the logic (or lackthereof) of this comment: What of men's actions? An unplanned pregnancy necessitates both a gentically male human being and a genetically female human being. Why shouldn't men be the ones responsible for avoiding intercourse, if that is how you believe unplanned pregnancies should be avoided? And if your logic states that heterosexual men should be allowed to have sexual intercourse when they choose to but that women absolutely should not, whom do you propose they have it with if all of the potential female partners are busy avoiding unplanned pregnancies? This is how the overturning of Roe v. Wade promotes rape culture, as if the promotion of inequality wasn't awful enough.
@@emaliehendel2309 You speak of logic yet there's none to find in your response. We both know OP did not speak about rape in her comment. We all know rape is awful, too. But we don't believe the child conceived this way should be punished for the man's actions. If someone should die, it's him, not the innocent child.
@@emaliehendel2309 Men's actions? 98-99% of the time women have to consent, prior to men engaging in intercourse. Women are the gatekeepers to sex. Keep in mind, men and women aren't the same, hence biological differences. As I have already mentioned whoever carries the greater risk, also carriers greater responsibility. Intimacy is a much greater risk for women - physically, emotionally, and psychologically. So yes, women can be as "sexually liberated" as they please, but with promiscuity, also comes consequences. The fact that we're focusing on the aftermath, rather than the cause speaks for the modern state of society. Accountability is a good thing and perhaps through accountability people will be more mindful of the decisions they make. As for your last sentiment, equality is an impossibility as is and I would argue that modern women have more rights than men, in the Western world that is.
@@KatyaVasilivna What audacity to lecture people on consequences like you didn't force them on people by taking away perfectly valid choices and options. I feel bad for you though. Sex is a healthy normal part of human life but you obviously can't see that because of all the joyless, shame filled, repressive and puritanical beliefs swirling around in your dumb little brain.
sad to see how such a bright and intelligent person like yourself can't see how the pro-choice stance makes no sense. won't change my sympathy for you but yeah, I don't agree with you on this one thing. welp.
@@beanertuno7165 lmao sure, there you go: pro-choice makes it about woman's liberty as if that were more valuable than human life. Your liberty ends when the other person's begins, so you're quick to pretend the child in the womb is not a human being. The simple biological fact, however, is that it IS a human being who has the right to live, and their right to live is more important than the woman's right to not be pregnant or whatever it is that she wishes for.
Your anger and your passion is powerful!!! As women we all know what it’s like to be told our suffering ‘isn’t that bad’ or that we shouldn’t make a big deal of it. We need people like you to remind everyone the reality of this. As you said, things like this don’t, CAN’T, happen in a vacuum.

Ppl should use this as an opportunity of empowerment- empowerment to vote in state elections to create what you want. America is basically comprised of 50 little countries when you think about it.. move to and where best fits you.
What is a woman?
According to the bible, a woman it’s just a part of Adam's ribs, while being the product of men.
@@matthewk2388 Or you are just afraid to admit that you claim to support women, but refuse to define what they are. Women are now have to compete with men in their own sports, it is the ultimate elimination of women's rights, and you are a supporter of that.
A miserable pile of secrets. Have at you!
But being called dead beats, dough bags, assholes is all fine and good. But crazy is too much.
Overturning Roe v Wade seems like a step in the wrong direction... almost like we're going backwards. What's next? Legalizing segregation?
@@jonnybaze7449 Interesting. I didn't know that. Good to know.

So it went from a right to a luxury? You want the luxury of having as much sex as you want and being able to not deal with the consequences. First world problems
🤭😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤭
Control of our bodies. 😂
Love your channel, but I have to disagree with you on this. Because I can not respond adequately in the comment section, I highly recommend that you read the majority opinion by Aleto,
and also watch Matt Fradd's interview of Stephanie Gray Connors about the "violinist argument" on the channel "Pints With Aquinas". Here she lays out steel man arguments for abortion, including the ones you have mentioned in this video, and she demolishes them. This educated me incredibly, and I think it would be, at the very least, a counterargument to help refine your own belief.
@@matthewk2388 haha death is natural and inevitable - so based on your logic it is not evil to bring upon death to someone because of those two facts. Wholesome logic.
@Brayden Dukes
I notice you dismissively tell yesreneau to go off and read Alito's majority opinion, but don't ask her to read the dissenting opinions. Why is that? Can it be that you are comfortable only considering the arguments on one side of a question?
As long as we are telling people to go off and read something, why don't you read Judith Jarvis Thompson's original paper on the weakness of the anti-abortion arguments, rather than view second-hand versions of it? Because if you don't, you can't be sure that all you are being exposed to are straw man arguments made by adversaries of Thompson's position.
So you're bringing on religious rhetoric into the matter when separation of church and state have been a thing since the beginning. Nah, I'm good.
Women are fully humans, unborn are fully humans. Don't need to be able kill my children to be equal as men. Don't need to kill my children to have dignity. No sexism, just women and men fighting to protect the BODY of the unborn.
Unborn are not fully human as long as they can't survive without the body of a full human...
I’m glad. Be responsible with sex & birth control methods. Simple.
As a man. We’d be happy if we got rid of alimony & child support. How about that?? Men lives matter too.
You sound like a salty dude who's been rejected many times.
Here's what I think right, if it passed well good, we need less people in this overpopulated country anyway, the current situation, well women close your legs or use contraceptives or tell the guy to use them too.
To say the consequences of sex aren't equal now after the fact is just disingenuous. It wasn't fair to men before but no one lost sleep over that. Get rid of laws requiring partners to pay child support/alimony unless it's by choice then I'll stand with you. Until then, nada. Either partner should be able to back out of dealing with a pregnancy or neither partner shouldn't. All I see hear is women being held accountable and complaing about. Nothing more, nothing less. I still stand behind women wanting abortions if they were raped and submit to a rape kit test as evidence, incest, or the chance of the mother or child dying through the birthing process. But I cannot support your idea of saying that things were 'equal' before the repeal because they weren't. Another female content creator bites the dust I geuss. It was good while it lasted. Peace. 🍻
I'm against *Abortion* But...! This is such an overreach. By a Huge proportion.
Everyone has right to their own beliefs and opinion. As long as it doesn't frown upon others. First *Canadians* (on SocialMedia) C-11 Bill now this? Talk about going backwards as a *Society*
Abortion is murder. 98-99% is avoidable if a woman chooses not to be intimate. If you bare the greater portion of the risk, then you also bare a greater portion of the responsibility. Actions have consequences. It might not be what people want to hear, but it's the reality.
In following the logic (or lackthereof) of this comment: What of men's actions? An unplanned pregnancy necessitates both a gentically male human being and a genetically female human being. Why shouldn't men be the ones responsible for avoiding intercourse, if that is how you believe unplanned pregnancies should be avoided? And if your logic states that heterosexual men should be allowed to have sexual intercourse when they choose to but that women absolutely should not, whom do you propose they have it with if all of the potential female partners are busy avoiding unplanned pregnancies?
This is how the overturning of Roe v. Wade promotes rape culture, as if the promotion of inequality wasn't awful enough.
@@emaliehendel2309 You speak of logic yet there's none to find in your response. We both know OP did not speak about rape in her comment. We all know rape is awful, too. But we don't believe the child conceived this way should be punished for the man's actions. If someone should die, it's him, not the innocent child.
@@emaliehendel2309 Men's actions? 98-99% of the time women have to consent, prior to men engaging in intercourse. Women are the gatekeepers to sex.
Keep in mind, men and women aren't the same, hence biological differences. As I have already mentioned whoever carries the greater risk, also carriers greater responsibility. Intimacy is a much greater risk for women - physically, emotionally, and psychologically. So yes, women can be as "sexually liberated" as they please, but with promiscuity, also comes consequences.
The fact that we're focusing on the aftermath, rather than the cause speaks for the modern state of society. Accountability is a good thing and perhaps through accountability people will be more mindful of the decisions they make.
As for your last sentiment, equality is an impossibility as is and I would argue that modern women have more rights than men, in the Western world that is.
@@KatyaVasilivna What audacity to lecture people on consequences like you didn't force them on people by taking away perfectly valid choices and options.
I feel bad for you though. Sex is a healthy normal part of human life but you obviously can't see that because of all the joyless, shame filled, repressive and puritanical beliefs swirling around in your dumb little brain.
Exactly
Being a woman is easy. Remove accountability & logic.
sad to see how such a bright and intelligent person like yourself can't see how the pro-choice stance makes no sense. won't change my sympathy for you but yeah, I don't agree with you on this one thing. welp.
Please elaborate how “the pro-choice stance makes no sense”. Otherwise, your claim lacks reasoning and is weak.
@@beanertuno7165 lmao sure, there you go: pro-choice makes it about woman's liberty as if that were more valuable than human life. Your liberty ends when the other person's begins, so you're quick to pretend the child in the womb is not a human being. The simple biological fact, however, is that it IS a human being who has the right to live, and their right to live is more important than the woman's right to not be pregnant or whatever it is that she wishes for.
@@nannuky1128 but it's not a living being until later in the pregnancy, when it's too late to legally have one.
@@whosaidthat84 it's not a living being? it's dead, then?
