ABORTION

 


 During this time of obsession over a war in Europe, it is easy to become distracted and ignore the actions of the Republican leaning, partisan Supreme Court.


“Sexually progressive cultures gave us literature, philosophy, civilization and the rest, while sexually restrictive cultures gave us the Dark Ages and the Holocaust”

25,000 Years of Erotic Freedom

Alan Moore Abrams

I would add; Fatwas, suicide bombers, the subjugation of women and the dehumanization of women.

 

We are watching the demise of Roe vs Wade strictly as a Christian political agenda.


THE ABORTION ISSUE

What we know is abortion brings about the termination of a life never lived.


Other Terminations:

War

Police use of deadly force

Self-defense killings

Capital punishment

Euthanasia

Abortion

Contraceptive

Masturbation


Grounds for opposing Abortion:

Religious beliefs

Humanitarian

 

Grounds for pro-choice:

Humanitarian

Personal freedom

Freedom from religious oppression

Opposition to the subjugation of women

 

Grey areas: rape, incest, age, financial responsibility, retardation, emotional instability; physical or mentally deformed fetus, world over population

 

It is next-to-impossible to have an intelligent discussion on the subject.

Christian churches have always been obsessed with sex and the sexual promiscuity of women all the way back to Eve.

 

The abortion issue is basically a Christian Taliban’s obsession with the sexuality of women and the wish to legislatively control the sexual activity and sexual reproduction of women.  The Catholic church and the Protestant fundamentalist churches wish to legislate Christian doctrine.  Laws have been proposed to jail women who receive abortions, and the proposed Texas law would allow vigilante action against women, abortion providers and supporters of women’s rights.

 We have taken our eye off the ball.

ROE vs WADE









Many women are outraged by the Republican Party’s move to reverse Roe vs Wade.    Ire at the Republican Party is misdirected – the Party is just the avatar for a base that Republican politicians are anxious to keep united.   Republican politicians could care less about women’s rights and the abortion issue; as always, their main concern is keeping their plush jobs; and in this case, it means placating the Religious Right.


Let’s put this squarely where it resides.   The roots of anti-abortion reside in the churches.   To fundamentalist Christian and the Catholics hierarchy, the outlawing of abortion in a major step toward their goal of legislating a version of Christian Sharia Law.
  

For years, Fundamentalist have declared the United States a Christian Nation and have declared God’s laws above man’s laws.   With each step of outrage against homosexuality, gay marriage, abortion…, the Religious Right is trying to consolidate a move toward a theocratic Christian government.
    

In the fourth century the Catholic Church drove Europe into a thousand years of Dark Ages, where science philosophy and enlightenment were crushed by religious superstition and zealotry.   Now a vocal minority wishes to turn the clock back by systematically integrate religion into government.


If you are outraged by the attack on Roe vs Wade you need to boycott religion.   Call out religion for the bigotry it is, and its danger to our democracy.
 

If you attend church on Sundays, and are outraged against the reversal of Roe vs Wade, then you need to reassess your values – for they are conflicted.
