America is One Scary Place
Following on from my current theme of female rights, I have to point out this absolute tragedy for women in America. Despite all the evidence pointing to the fact that making abortion illegal doesn't curb the abortion rate, only increases the number of unsafe and unhygenic surgeries, good old America (with the full backing of God I assume) has decided. No.
We the old men who run the world will decide whether or not a female in one of the most frightening circumstances they have faced has any form of decent choice. Nice notch in the belt for the land of the free. What freedoms exactly are you trying to protect with all these wars, the freedom to decide for others how they run their lives? mmm hmmm.
Im not sure what credentials those two terribly old men on the right have to be involved in a choice like this (thankfully these two voted against the legislation), however their fellow old men collegues felt differently and now the poor American women who, it appears have lost yet another freedom to the land of the free will have to follow the 'moral' advice of the old men who decide their fate for them.
Can some old man please tell me what right they have to make this choice? One who is one hundred percent sure that they or no one they know and respect has ever ever left a woman with an unwanted pregnancy and carried on their merry way. For goodness sake, you'd find that most women who get abortions are well aware they are killing a baby. Do you people understand how hard that is for someone? That females do not need old men to prescribe our morals for us that we have our own thanks, which makes a decison like that one of the hardest things some women have to face. EVER. Maybe you should instead inprison men who have unprotected sex, you know, the ones who lead women to fall pregnant with unwanted babies? That would cut the killing, oh but right, it may infringe on the rights of a male to do as he pleases in this world.
I don't hate many people, but I hate you for doing this. It is so so so wrong.
