Do you realize the
abortion debate in America is used to marginalize thinking humans into single
issue voters to mask what politicians do with the rest of your vote behind the
curtain of your abstention of volition?
This is mainly done to perpetuate a patriarchal system that streamlines
the idea of women into valuation based on birthing chattel as a uterine
mechanism in the service of males in the equivalent of a cooking pot. Women become defined by bodies rather than
permitted to be complex. There is a
reason the closest reasonable answer a Republican presidential dais can come up
on which women’s visage to put on the ten dollar bill is Rosie Parks or a
suggestion of his mother or wife. There
is a reason the issues of paid maternity leave, equal pay for equal work, child
care assistance, and supporting women’s health care providers are serviced by
cricket chirping silence.
The idea of a complex
woman standing out directing, contributing, or foundationally consequential to
the history of American humanity has been so repressed that the best the
leading Republican candidate can muster is his daughter’s name or a comment on
how beautiful or pretty a woman is, as if physical traits of a man’s perception
of attractiveness were relevant measurements of worth.
The Pro Life movement
focuses on in utero terminology and viability predominately under the guise of
religion as a false address of moral concern where no fiscal or physical action
point is generated post birth to support the birthed human on a systematic
scale commensurate with the dominate social concerns most parents would seek
out abortion in the first place.
Abortion is about the
parental ability to support a child emotionally, fiscally, spiritually, and
mentally. No great society can
substitute for a parent on a macroscopic level and function with the same
prowess as genetic self-interest provides.
The Pro Life movement is not correlated with funding the children thrust
into the foster and adoption systems on a commensurate level or even a
significant fractional level of the dollars that are tithed and harvested by
political and religious groups to market the idea of creating a fishermen’s net
of crimping laws to marginalize the options a woman has to choose or access
abortion or reproductive related healthcare services. The flare gun of the patriarchy active in the
cognitive distortion is blatant.
A significant number
of Republicans in Congress are threatening to shut down the government
again. This time it is not the
Affordable Healthcare Act, but defunding Planned Parenthood. This is despite no government funding going
to abortive services. This is despite
the facts that sexual education, sexual health screenings, and birth control
services not only prevent more abortions than Planned Parenthood preforms with
self-generated revenues, but provides for the better health and well-being of
the children who do come to term based on the election of his or her mother.
The government
regulations over what a woman does with her uterus and vagina should be
whatever the hell a woman wants to do with her body, particularly for the
American party purporting to be most about personal responsibility and freedom. It is such a simple concept summed up with
yes a fetus is a human and we all agree that we as a society make choices of
priorities including killing other humans.
Otherwise the military would not exist, capital punishment would not
exist, and police officers permitted to kill people would not exist. Medical procedures that are exhausted to
perpetuate the life of some are not enacted for others strictly due to what
taxpayers are willing to pay. The idea
of citizenship matters on who lives and who dies. These are all illusions and lies we tell
ourselves to feel good when head is set to pillow in an often capricious, unpredictable,
and random world.
To have the audacity
as if you are morally good with your idea of god by creating this false crusade
that asks you to do little more than campaign for this false catch-all for life
in being anti-choice related to humans contemplating abortion or euthanasia is
a false service. It is as if signing up
for a law that demands all people under forty to fly out to Iraq or Afghanistan
to wage war when you happen to be forty one.
It is like a majority male-led political party knowing only a woman can
choose abortion or not wanting to take her choice away.
Being pro-life asks
you to do nothing as a single issue.
Sure you may adopt and support foster services, but to do so and be
anti-choice fails to connect the strain on the current systems and services on
not only a national, but global scale.
One cannot praise a border wall or the barbed wire greeting card to a
refugee and claim an absolute respect for life.
The Pro-Life movement is a costume for an absolute respect for life. There is no absolute respect for life. We all make choices, most of us based on our
ego, self-identification, group-identification, that line where the volition of
other starts to create a burden on our energies and efforts so as to make our
life less pleasurable or free or arduous.
The choice of abortion
is just that for most parents; the option to make a life less arduous. Please explain to the face of a parent who
has been in that situation how my right to choose made your life more arduous
and please do not have the audacity to attempt to speak for the unborn.
