Women's rights are a tricky subject - because what is actually being talked about IS not her by herself. She is unable to find herself pregnant without a man. She can't make a baby on her own - the man carries a crucial piece AND this is not talked about.
His rights are never in question or limited.
A woman is left with the evidence that a man planted a child.
And she alone is judged and crucified for what she decides to do.
There is also a limited version of abortion - that is willfully used primarily as birth control - and that it isn't a heartbreaking decision that is for health reasons of a child or the mother.
Mostly there needs to be a wider version of the discussion and a more open view on what is going on.
Women are only one part of the equation - yet carry full blame.
Limiting women - on the other side of baby making - seems like shutting the door after the horses left the barn. Why not stop the baby making process at the gate. Limit men from having kids until they can prove the kids are wanted and can be supported.
Limit the surgery decisions to the doctor and the carrier of the baby.
Leave the church and state out of it.
It seems unfair to reduce the limits of women and not look upon the man - at all.
What would be a fair discussion to have about a pregnancy - and its continuation - or even conception?
There are two people involved and only one is being addressed.
What is the saying - instead of pulling people out of the river - it is better to go up river and see how they are getting there.
What doesn't seem to be the right answer is to take away the woman's right to her own body -
Also, what else has been bugging me, is that so many of the ultra religious women are voting to take away rights - when they themselves have little ownership of their own bodies.
They are not able to limit the amount of children they have.
They are not free with their own bodies and yet they feel they can limit others.
It seems that only those who are free to choose, should be voting.
What I have learned - in my experience - the freer I became, the wider my sense of accepting and allowing others to live their lives freely.
I would not want others telling me what is right or wrong in my life - and I am not sure what is right or wrong in your life.
What is right for me - doesn't necessarily mean it is right for you.
If God gave us free will - why are some feeling like it is theirs to control?
I am pretty sure it is a sign of dysfunction to control others.
A society that has equal rights and freedoms is a healthy society - and/or religion or relationship of any kind.
There are three kinds of rights. "These are Natural rights, Moral rights & Legal rights. Legal rights can be defining in three categories. These are, Fundamental rights, Political rights & Social or civil rights.
What seems to be happening is the 'moral' rights of some are creating negative legal rights, that infringe upon the natural rights of women.
Those who can justify this - better know - that you too are at risk of having your natural rights taken away - with the right people in power.
In the land of the free - it is not a positive to reduce someone's freedom.
Morals are what you believe to be right or wrong -
And these are personal and I don't feel should be imposed upon others.
