THE ABORTION DEBATE



The Republicans war on women

We always blame the Republican Party for their staunch views against women and abortion.   Actually the Republican Party is just an arm – and extension – of the Christian religion. 

From the very beginning the Christian religion has viewed women as lesser beings than men. 

 Eve was responsible for introducing sin into the world.   Women are temptresses that ensnare men with their sex.   Women’s bodies are evil and produce unclean thoughts.  Men’s tits and nipples are fine, but women’s tits should be covered, and a woman’s nipples – are an offence to God…hide the children’s eyes….they will go blind!  

Since Roe vs. Wade women are now considered potential baby killers.    There are fundamentalist churches (and the Catholic Church) that are even opposed to birth control.   The Bible condemns male masturbation – but the churches seem willing to overlook this concept.  


Except for the Catholic Church:  Where every sperm is sacred. 



Women don't have to put up with this: they are over fifty percent of the population - but religion keeps their minds enslaved.

  3. From the same movie...Eric Idles little Penis song! What an amusing little ditty. Americans are enslaved by their Puritanical origins. I was in Italy recently and visited Assisi...overwhelmingly, the most demonstrative idiots in the basilica were Americans trying to demonstrate that they could genuflect, pray obnoxiously loudly better than any one...I'm sure if American Catholicism still embraced medieval self flagellation, they would find a way to do it more ostentatiously than the rest of the world...except, that Americans would find a way to alleviate the discomfort. I guess the Opus Dei dudes still do this stuff in private. I realize that I've gone on in length about how much of Europe has come to terms with it's religious heritage. Here in France, a demographic Catholic majority on paper, had legal gay marriage, government assisted abortion and funded birth control and we have banned all personal religious displays...yamulkas, veils, and in many cases, crosses in public laic settings. Still we enjoy the highest birth rate in Europe, the lowest infant mortality rate in the world, yet kids get confidential sex counseling in schools, you can buy condoms from machines on a street corner and no one complains of full frontal nudity on prime time television. America is puritanically obsessed with sex to the point it creates mental illness. If a naked child was on a public beach in the USA, the parents would be arrested and the child would be put into custody and given "counseling"...Here? who cares, except to say...aren't they cute?
    I could go on...when I was in public high school in Detroit, nude swimming was the norm. This was the early 60's. Now, if I mention that I was forced to swim naked a few days a week in school, people freak! I really feel that it normalized my feelings towards my own adolescent body and was in the long run a very healthy thing. If you even talk about this today, there is always a person who wants to know why the gym teachers weren't prosecuted for perversion.

  4. When it comes to abortion the only people involved in the decision should be the woman, the doctor and if he is still around, the man responsible for knocking her up!!

    1. I feel it should be solely the woman's decision - but why the hell should my feeling matter - I will never carry a child so why should I have a say?

COMMENT: Ben Franklin said, "I imagine a man must have a good deal of vanity who believes, and a good deal of boldness who affirms, that all doctrines he holds are true, and all he rejects are false."
