I am ardently pro-choice. I believe that any human being should have complete control over their own reproduction, women included. But an area in which right wing (specifically pro life) women display extreme hypocrisy is in the arena of reproductive rights for women.
Take for instance this article by feminist Joyce Arthur, titled "The Only Moral Abortion is My Abortion":
The article illustrates several pro life, anti abortion women who claimed that all abortion is murder, only to fall pregnant at inconvenient times and clandestinely scheduling abortions for themselves while still decrying other women for doing the exact same... No different from the televangelists who get caught having homosexual sex while making their careers condemning homos to the lake of fire.
To be fair, many of these women may be hiding their abortions simply because they come from dysfunctional Christian backgrounds where both male and female sexuality are rigorously policed, in some of these situations I would speculate that daddy’s little princess likely tired of living in a Christian chastity cult and found the nearest bad boy to give her a good pounding.
I’m aware that some in the conservative circles would consider these pro-life women our natural allies. I do not. I I believe that if they are this adamant about denying their own gender the right to control their own reproduction, they will attack male reproductive rights ten times more furiously. Child support and bachelor taxes will be the least of our worries should these wolves in sheep's clothing get their way.
And even in principle... Why would you support a movement that seeks to restrict our control over our own reproductive process? Why take that power away from the individual? Why take away womens' ability to get out of having to raise a child they cannot possibly afford - with the alternative being to reward their bad choices by giving them government handouts in the event that they do not have an abortion? Wouldn't that simply incentivize more welfare queens and socially parasitic behavior?
Too many questions, too much hypocrisy, help me figure this one out.
Abortion remains unconstitutional for reasons. Even though it is 'legal' it still cannot stand constitutionally & needs to be struck down.
First, abortion meets all elements of the Criminal Felony of Contract Murder: They have an inconvenient person in their life...They would like them killed...They will pay money to have it done...they provide the location of the target (womb)...money is exchanged...target is killed.
Second, there is no equality in abortion, it is a sexist law t hat creates an exception where only biological females have the privilege to legally commit contract murder.
There exists no exception to Contract Murder for men...
This is unequal under the law and cannot stand.
Third Science has advanced since 1973 and the idea that an unborn baby is simply a clump of cells has been disproved by advanced sonogram & MRIs which can even display brain functions including emotions in the child. Saying otherwise is to deny reality.
Fourth, abortion is fucking immoral and those who love evil who kill children and shed innocent blood deserve the hell that awaits them.
