Is abortion the only issue in America?
Topics: Life IssuesI've heard a lot from the feminists about the rights of women to choose, but heard nothing about the rights of children to be born. So this article struck a chord with me.
Here's a good read by Bob Weir at The American Thinker that addresses the fanticism of what I call the pro-choice but really pro-death enthusiasts:
No sooner did Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor declare her retirement, than the leaders of the 2 largest feminist organizations in the country made a beeline for the media. Eleanor Smeal, President of the Feminist Majority, bellowed that O'Connor's resignation could "reverse 32 years of freedom and progress for women. Let there be no mistake about it," she roared, "the feminist movement today is declaring a state of emergency to save the court for women's rights."
Of course, Ms. Smeal didn't make any mention about the rights of children to be born. The former National Organization for Women president went on to say that O'Connor owed her appointment to NOW because they, "stood outside the White House with thousands of people demanding that President Reagan nominate a woman, and a woman who would not turn her back on the women of the nation." Revisionist history if you ever heard it. The fact is, Justice O'Connor was not wanted by liberal groups because of her conservative views - views she moderated over the course of her tenure.
The next hysterical outburst came from the current President of NOW, Kim Gandy. With righteous indignation in her voice she declared that O'Connor would not be replaced by an "extremist'' who would erode women's rights. "This is a state of emergency for all the women in the United States and all of the women in the world," she said during a press conference at NOW's annual meeting in Nashville.
(...) in order for these self-serving demagogues to maintain their lofty perches, they must continuously stoke the fires of gender conflict, lashing out furiously at anyone who disagrees with the destruction of innocent life in the womb. Using the euphemism, pro-choice, instead of the obvious but politically odious pro-death, they pretend to supply their fatuous adherents with an option regarding childbirth.
(...) Although the Justices are supposed to interpret the Constitution the way it was intended by its authors, we have often witnessed the supposed philosophical elasticity of that venerable parchment. Just recently, the high court enraged the nation when it jeopardized the rights of every homeowner by inventing a new description of private property.

Women DO have a right to choose. They can choose to keep their panties on and not get pregnant with an unwanted child in the first place. That is the point in the whole process where the choice should be made.
Beyond that point, you have women who prefer to murder innocent life to avoid the outcome of an egregious lack of personal responsibility. Women who get abortions are essentially spoiled brats.

Speaking as a "woman" I am tired of the terms "Pro Choice" and "Women's rights" Being used interchangeably. Daily I hear the left declairing that they are fighting for "my" rights. No no don't mix me in your crusade to justify murder. Their not fighting for me.
