Women have fought so hard in the 20th century to gain liberation and yet, today, we are slowly loosing that power over our own bodies? It completely infuriates me when, upon discussing the topic, men feel the need to put their two-cents in. How dare they!? They are not a woman! They do not have to endure the physical/emotional pains that women who become pregnant out of wedlock must endure for 9 months and beyond! I got into a debate with a man on the "Vote No on Initiative 26" discussion board last night. A male citizen proceeded to tell me that I should just go ahead and vote "yes" just so I will have a clear conscious and better chance of getting into Heaven and that it was only happening in Mississippi and that I should get over it.. Excuse me? My response went as followed: I appreciate your opinions but we're living in the "Bible Belt". First Mississippi and next will be all of the other southern states. Why should a woman resort to transporting herself over hundreds of miles away for something that could be done somewhere within her connivence? The keyword is Pro-CHOICE. If it is our CHOICE as women to terminate our own pregnancies than that is something we as an INDIVIDUAL must decide. Since you bring a religious view into your post, just consider how God's will controls everything. If it is the mother's decision, that is between her and God and she will have to face her own consequences. On the other hand, not everybody believes in God or His will, therefore we as a state should respect their personal beliefs and not try to force our Christian views upon them. No matter what happens with this Initiative, it will not affect you, or other men in ANY way. Think of the liberation us women have fought so many years for. This is the 21st century, it's about time we gained every single right that you as a man have too!
So there ya have it. Exactly how I feel... I am a Christian and feel that it is a decision between mother and God. Nobody should be taking the rights away from a woman on her own body. It's sickening to know that there are people out there that hit below the belt by saying they are "baby killers" and are going to hell. Get real people. If you are a believer in God, understand that He will take control of the situation. It is not mine or your right to make a decision for another individual. Also, not everyone believes in a God, so quite forcing your Bible down their throats! They don't do it to you. Well... that's my bitchin' for today! :)
Stay Horny My Friends.
