meanwhile, i will be working for a better world while you blithely golf, drink martinis and force women to be your incubators.
we can agree to disagree civilly and respectfully or we can twist each other's words into neat little sound bites. i believed that you think you are speaking for an unborn child. i believe that i am speaking for unborn children. i know that they want to live in a world free from the strife of war, poverty and debasement and in health with happy and prospering parents.
yes, i actually believe that god is perfect, that he chose the perfect vessel to carry human beings -knowing they could choose to do so if the conditions were right or choose not to if there was too much danger and instability. i believe that god protects and nurtures the soul of the child who dies, they don't aimlessly wander in purgatory.
i believe that the state shouldn't go against god's choice, it cannot force a woman to keep something inside of her body that she does not feel has the optimum chance of survival outside of it.
you keep throwing your twist on my words and i have let you but now i will challenge you -adding turn about. you act like i am talking about piano lessons and a pony. i am talking about the infant mortality rate and the women forced to attempt to carry a child even though there is little to no chance it will have any life if it makes it past its first year, yet the woman's life is drastically reduced because of the toll that carrying and bearing a child takes on an undernourished woman with no/minimal access to health care. i am talking about the infant going blind because there isn't money for the kind of eye drops to put in its eyes at the moment of birth to prevent defects, thus greatly reducing its chance of surving to adulthood. i am talking about war torn countries where no food means watching your emaciated baby starve to death in front of your eyes. i am talking about the child who will never have the opportunity to go have an education because there is no money for that which means forever living in a state of impoverishment and destitution.
yada, yada, yada you "saving" lives. blah, blah, blah you don't believe in feminism. yak, yak, yak only women saving their careers have abortions. and you getting abortions outlawed will stop your ex-girl-friends and wife's friends from getting abortions? don't think for a minute i think your that naieve. they will still get their abortions because the well-to-do always have access to that. yes, in a world where the GNI is $5488 (that is adding in the $28337 GNI of the industrialized countries as well as the $37610 GNI of the USA) i bet your income is considered very well-to-do and i bet if we loose our right to choose whether to bear a child or not here in oregon within days anyone bringing in over $35,000 will know the name of where to go for the "procedure" if they should so need it and those under $35,000 will have to go back to dosing with pennyroyal, mad dog and the coat hanger.
and again i say, so much easier to legislate forced incubators then ensuring a safe world where a woman doesn't have to make such a sad choice.
i personally know of no woman who has ever had an abortion because a child would harm her career. i know women who have had abortions because they fear the beatings of a father or spouse and the fetus would have aborted as well as no woman for the other children or girl to grow up into a woman. i know women who have had abortions because one more child would have driven them past the breaking point, no birth control didn't work and the man didn't like the rubber "cause it didn't feel natural" (said w/a voice dripping with sarcasm). i know women who had an abortion because they were raped and carrying that man's child for nine months was more than they could bear. i have read books and seen movies about career women's abortions. wonder who authored those?
i don't have a right to judge them. god gave them the right to choose when he gave them the option to bear a child. men force them to bear the child. god gives them a choice. yes, i believe it is god's way of making things even. men may have physical power but if you want women to stop having abortions then make this world a place where its safe to bring children into it ... or sit on them and force them to have children.
hey, whichever is easiest i am sure it will be chosen. i already told you i don't plan on choosing abortion for myself but i guarantee you not even your wife can honestly promise you that she won't ever have an abortion and your daughters will never tell you if they do.
