A point of view from a frustrated man who’s questioning other men’s point of view.
I just finished reading an article written by a fellow contributor to The LCR, Cynthia Swiss: Alabama Abortion Is Taking Women Back To The Dark Ages. After reading the article, I had to take a moment and gather my thoughts and emotions because I agreed with every point Cynthia had made in her article. Having had the pleasure and honor of being raised and guided by powerful, empowering, no-nonsense women all my life, taking a moment to fully understand the consequences of the abortion ban and how so many other states in the MidWest are following suit gave me pause.
It’s a surreal moment when you take a step back and look in realizing that there are so many women out there and young girls now that will have to live in more fear than before. Not only is their God-given right to maintain, manage and decide what to do with their bodies being stripped away before our very eyes, but now even rape and incest seem to lose their severity in consequences.
Why? because the only person that seems to indeed pay for it will be women, regardless of the situation, unless her life is in danger. Really? That’s the best we can do? That’s how we show our intelligence, respect, appreciation, and understanding of women in America? By telling them, they have NO choice but to carry pregnancies to term, because we care about life?
LOL, wait… that’s the reason? Really? WE CARE ABOUT LIFE? Oh man, we are unique, aren’t we? I mean, this is Gold. WE CARE ABOUT LIFE… We care so much about life that we bomb indiscriminately hospitals, schools, and population-centric areas that are FILLED with children to protect our “interests.”
We care so much about life, that the moment the child is born, we stop caring. Because the goal is to bring more life on this planet right, strictly? I mean, who cares if the mother can raise the child, emotionally, financially, or mentally. WE CARE ABOUT LIFE. THAT’S ALL THAT MATTERS!
I mean, we care so much that we lock up immigrant children in detention camps and facilities where they are abused and RAPED! Because We care.
We care so much about life, that if a woman is raped or is a victim of incest, her ability to be supported, emotionally and mentally to recover as well as be given justice for such a heinous act is not essential. Because the “life” she is carrying IS meaningful, so her ability to have a say on her body or to have support from the government, or the law is irrelevant.
Look, I hold no influence on you, the reader, or anyone else except myself. Moreover, as a man, the craziest thing about this issue is that I have complete control over what is done or how it is done to my body in every conceivable way! However, the opposite sex is having all their liberties and rights questioned and taken away.
We do not have the right to control what a woman does, or does not do with her body. Why it is taking us close to 5,000+ years to understand that and accept? That is probably one of the many reasons why my frustration with the human race grows a little more with every passing year. Especially when such draconian measures are taken to control, dictate, and humiliate those that our race biologically, emotionally, mentally, and physically cannot do without – Women.
