This country is going to Hell.
It's bad enough we have men in power who have little
regard for anything but the size of their wallets, and
who are willing to kill human beings through faux
declarations of war to increase their wealth. We now
have those same men telling women that their
reproductive processes belong to the government.
That's complete bull.
Roe vs. Wade was passed for a reason and that reason
has not changed, and I believe that the American
people still support the rights of women to their
reproductive organs. But the very idea of not being
able to control something/anything scares our
government, particularly the Republican Party - the
GOP - the "Grand Old Party", hah. They want to control
everything and everyone. We must be the
laughingstock of the world the way we tout "freedom"
and "values" and "everyone's equal" and "the
democratic process is so wonderful and YOU should
have it too" and then what we really show them, over
and over again, is how we can be completely
restrictive to the American people and how a few are
free to set into action laws that affect the many in
detrimental and completely one-sided ways.
Democratic? Free? I laugh in their faces! I laugh
at their hypocrisy.
And that little scapegoat governor in South Dakota has
fallen into a trap and doesn't even know it yet - he's
been used as pawn by the GOP to start the abortion
issue rolling again and when the American people say
enough is enough or the Supreme Court upholds Roe vs
Wade he'll be the lackey they'll turn to and say "he
did it - not us." The fingers will be pointed at him
win or lose, either by Americans who believe women
have a choice if he wins, or by the GOP who will leave
him high and dry if he loses.
And, in the meantime, under his unforgiving plan, girls and women will die right
on the operating table trying to give birth to
deformed and sick children that are known to be
malformed as the result of crack, AIDS, rape, incest,
and drug use or just plain genetics. Many of these
women will KNOW that they might not live, due to
their ill-health or the status of the baby, but their
doctors will have no option but to force them to give
birth. Does that make the doctors murderers?
Interesting question, that one.
Victims of rape and incest would be forced by law to
birth unwanted and unloved children. Girls of 11 or
12 years old who have been raped by their fathers or
by gangs of men and boys in a back alley would not have
the option of abortion - they would be forced to carry
a baby to term, they would be forced to acknowledge to
everyone they meet or know that they were raped, they
would forever carry the stigma of being 12 years old
and pregnant. If this passes, every woman or girl who is a victim of
rape will be forced to re-live their nightmare, day
after day, month after month, year after year because
they were forced by their government to carry to term
and deliver a baby. Every girl or woman who has an
unwanted pregnancy will be forced to birth a child and
then figure out what to do with it.
And, the BIG QUESTION is: Who is going to care for
the thousands of unwanted and sick babies and children
that would be born? It's one thing for this man
and his party to say "No abortion, it's an abomination
of (my) God!". But where is the money for the support
programs to raise these children? How many crack
babies is this so-concerned governor going to adopt
into his family? (thanks Maime) Who will put into place and fund
the federal and state programs that will be necessary
to raise these children? I don't know, I haven't
heard.
I just feel sick that we have to re-live this atrocity
against women again and again and again.
