This IS about women's rights. It's about the right for me, should I need to, to go down to the clinic without being faced by a crowd of religious nut jobs waving pictures of fetuses at me and calling me a baby killing slut.
It's about the right for me to go through one of the hardest, difficultest and most emotionally draining times of my life without a bunch of fucking moralistic whackjobs telling me I will burn in hell because I am putting my life above a collection of cells that don't even know they are cells let alone what fucking day it is.
It's about the right for me to decide NOT to have the child of my child-raping husband without a bunch of men telling me that they know what is better for me than I do, because clearly since they have never spoken to me before and will never speak to me again I should OBVIOUSLY cede every fucking decision in my fucking life to them.
So I am sorry if I am going to offend some people and vote against this abomination of a repeal and instead keep the right to have an abortion for reasons other than incest and my health, and I am going to vote against this fucked up twisted demented repeal and ensure that, should I ever have to have an abortion I can do it without being abused and shouted at by people who think they are doing God's Work (tm) by shouting at a woman who just wants to get out of a bad situation the best way she can.
And I am sorry that I might offend people by voting against a repeal that will permit men and women to go back to organising demonstrations to frighten scared teenagers whose birth control failed the first time they had sex with their boyfriend, but I believe that I am happy with my decision to vote against this piece of crap repeal and I hope it will be consigned to history.
There are several problems with your argument here.
#1. Though a major decision, You would be ceding one thing to the men (more on this in a moment)
#2. There are a good number of pro-life women.
#3. Your entire argument is based on emotion, not actual reason or counter argument.
#4. Adding the adjective "fucking" before every other noun doesn't anything constructive. Remaining calm would be nice.
Don't just go around having sex if your birth control isn't necessarily going to be effective. I oppose birth control, but it's at least not actively killing anyone."
1. *shrug* I am just suggesting that in most cases, the people who make the laws about controlling the reproductive organs of females are rarely female.
2. I do not doubt that there are, but that doesn't mean I have to listen to them.
3. Pffft. The vast majority of anti-choice arguments are anything but reason and logic. They are emotional appeal, religious dogma and other bullshit spewed at the emotional core of whoever happens to be listening.
4. I have tried remaining calm. It didn't help. I still had tosspots, twats, fuckwhits and morons waving signs calling me a baby-killing slut and doing so in the name of "free speech". So if they can hurl whatever shit they want in the name of free speech and their right to express themselves, then, sweetie, so can I.
And your last comment is (with all due respect) just idiotic and puerile. If that is the best you can do to defend making women mindless incubators for unwanted products of gang-rape and incest, no wonder this repeal was voted down by such a huge margin.
And since it was voted down, and will hopefully die a death, I am done arguing.
