This is way off topic for this post, but I wanted to comment that the body positivity movement is about acceptance of all bodies, regardless of size, shape, skin tone, gender, and physical abilities, while challenging present-day beauty standards as an undesirable social construct. While most people are capable of having a healthy body through healthy diet and exercise, there are still many people trapped in a larger body due to various conditions and illnesses. Body positivity is just a matter of accepting and respecting other humans, no matter what they look like. It’s just common decency. There are other movements out there that try to glamorize obesity and say it’s healthy, but I think it’s typical of any movement for people to twist things to the extreme.

This is just my opinion but Sebago state park is trash. Over crowded with loud and obnoxious out of staters. It's a poor representation of Maine State parks.

I delivered kayaks there for years for a local outfit. Hated having to wade through that mess to pick up/drop off. Can't imagine spending any time in there.

A fertilized ovum isn't a human being you numbnuts. And you're categorically insane if you think people want to get pregnant just to get abortions.
And I guarantee plenty of fertilized chicken eggs get cooked, and guess what? They're not chickens.

The bottom line is that there are plenty of good reasons to get an abortion, whether medical, social, or psychological.

So, keep your medieval irrational beliefs to yourself.
