I'll give fair warning.. I may not be able to write this without a many varied curse words, so those of you who may be offended by such words should probably leave now.
I've been reading article after article lately about this "war" on birth control, abortion, women. Today just about topped it off for me. I saw a picture, and I will include it in this entry, of the witnesses testifying on the birth control benefit right now on Capitol Hill (instigated by Repuke-acans). They are all MEN. No, you read that correctly. They are all men. To quote the article, " The five-person, all-male panel consists of a Roman Catholic Bishop, a Lutheran Reverend, a rabbi and two professors." Ummm..? *facepalm* So, when did Christian MEN become experts on women's rights/birth control/abortion? Have any of these men ever been pregnant? Experience the loss of a child? Experienced having to give birth? Experienced giving birth to a child with disabilities and/or deformities? Experienced raising that child mostly by themselves (as most women do)? Breastfed? Bottle fed, even? Do any of these men even have kids (seeing as the clergy usually does NOT allow their priests, preachers, etc to reproduce)? I am at an all time loss for words about this. Repukes have waged this absolute WAR on women, in the name of Christianity and "traditional family values". Want to know what the scariest part is? PEOPLE ARE BUYING THEIR BULLSHIT, INCLUDING SOME WOMEN. That. Is. Terrifying. WHY would you buy into this crap? WHY do you want people controlling your uterus/ovaries/vagina? If you are so "holy" maybe you should take a look at your Bible again. If "God" did indeed make you, then obviously he wanted you to make decisions for your own body. He wouldn't have made each individual person with FREE WILL, just so they could be make into slaves. WHAT is WRONG with YOU, that you BELIEVE this NONSENSE? I am mind blown.
I just can't understand. What makes it worse for me is knowing what my children could face in the future. Some states are adopting this 'no abortion, no Plan B' bill.. no matter if you've been raped (by a family member or others), severe deformities, life or death for mother and child. I understand wanting to limit it for those people who seem to believe abortion is contraception, I totally get that. BUT, in MOST cases abortion is NOT used for contraception. In most cases abortion is used for the situations they have banned (rape, deformities, life/death). Does this make sense to anyone? It sure doesn't to me. If I am raped, I would NOT want to be FORCED to have my rapist's child. If my child were found that they would be born without arms and legs, or without a brain, or without a spinal cord.. I would not force them into this world, into a living hell of a life. If I were ever in a life/death situation with one of my children, I would choose life for them (obviously). But, let's be honest. These situations are hard. They require educated decisions. Absolutely no woman I have ever known who has had an abortion (and I do know a few), has ever made the decision lightly. It was for a damn good reason. This is where most people go deaf because "no reason can be a good reason". Well, I'll tell ya what Mrs/Mr Perfect.. I would LOVE to see what YOU would do in a situation like that. You would become the biggest hypocrite since Santorum (who is so avidly against contraception and abortion, yet HIS WIFE had at least ONE abortion - that we know of). And, yes, he wants to control YOUR lady parts.. as well as those of your DAUGHTERS, SISTERS, MOTHERS, WIVES, BEST FRIENDS, etc. Throw in Mittens, Newt, and Paul.. you have one of the biggest clusterf*cks to ever happen to America. And people really, honestly, truly believe Obama is the bad one. REALLY?!?!?!?! Under his Presidency he's gotten gay marriage passed, free/low cost birth control for women.. and a million other things for minorities in our country. Yet, he's the Anti-Christ. *insert eyeroll* If he's the Anti-Christ, I would hate to see what you people are calling the 'Savior'. Again, I say, I am mind blown.
Why is it so hard to give proper education on sexual matters? Why is everyone so adamant that teens will not have sex? Teens will have sex. Teens have been having sex since the beginning of time. When we give our children/teens only two options of role models, what exactly do we expect of them? 'You can either use this INSANE Religious Right person as your role model OR this whorey alcoholic teen mom.' Oh yea, great parenting. Great role models. Yea.. how about NO. I agree, to a point, that some kids just will not listen and they will make mistakes. However, most kids/teens need guidance. If they do not receive that guidance from their parents and/or good role models in their lives.. they are more likely to look for it in the wrong places. There are more single parents in this day and age than in the past. There are more parents working outside of the home, too busy to truly be there for their children than ever before. (And, no, I'm not knocking parents who work. I'm not blaming them for everything. Most, however, do not give their all to their children when they should. Especially if they had children before they were ready. It does have an affect. You'd be seriously lying to yourself if you said it didn't. - We do have parents of all lifestyles who are sucky, and who rock it out. So, don't send me hate-mail. I'm stating what statistics say.) I digress... purity rings do not work, promises to "God" do not work, church groups/youth groups do not work, abstinence does not work. Stop lying to yourselves and start educating your children/teens.
Start educating yourselves. Learn the difference between when someone is greasing you and when someone is really truly trying to help. Politicians are notorious for being fantastic "magicians" (in the sense of - don't pay attention to what my left hand is doing, my right is giving you what you want -). NO politician is perfect. Obama is certainly not perfect. He's done things that I don't approve of. Especially when it comes to military matters, which does effect my family and I directly. However, we also have to remember how messed up Backwoods Bush left things. Do most of you have any idea how screwed we were? One of the worst things he did was throw us into a WORLD WAR just for OIL. His children went to Harvard or Yale, and YOUR CHILDREN went to die. Oh yea, let's vote him in again. Let's continue to vote in people like him, so that they can get richer while your children die in foreign places that happen to have things our old rich white men want. I'm at a loss as to how people can so easily and openly criticize Obama's mistakes, yet continue to stand up for Bush (and his cronies). We are free to express ourselves. For now, anyway. Our Congress/Senate is so full of douchecanoes that we can't even make a decision in the proper way anymore. Our forefathers are absolutely tossing and turning in their graves, wondering how this beautiful country, this beautiful idea, has become so corrupt and infected. It breaks my heart that most Americans would rather sit around drinking beer and watching an idiotic football game, than pay attention to the condition of the world in which they are passing on to their children. I ask again : WHY?
And, I say yet again... I am mind blown.
I feel the need to throw this in as well, because I am standing for my/our household in this blog entry : Just because you are a Christian does NOT mean you OWN the rest of the world. Get over yourselves. We have a Pagan/Atheist household, nothing Christian ever enters this house. You have NO power with "alternative" peoples (and there are more of us than you think, btw). Just because you claim to be Christian also does not make you one. It's like saying you're a car just because you're standing in a garage. You lust for power. You are greedy. You are foul. Jesus stood for non of that. If he did exist, he stood for the opposite. You are not only a disgrace to the human race, but a disgrace to your so-called "relationship with god". You make me (and millions of others).. sick. Your 'human-card' has officially been revoked. Take your tail, tuck it, and go the f*ck back home.
