Is this stupid or is this STUPID?
I know abortion has been an ongoing conflicting issue. Many people are against it because of their religious beliefs; because they think people are killing (unborn) children; because of the medical ethical issues surrounding such a practice. And I agree to some degree-I do think women who choose abortion are taking away a life. HOWEVER I do not condemn them for doing so.
Abortion is a difficult choice. I haven't experienced it nor do I know anyone who has aborted but it's so obvious it is. Desperation, fear, instability, guilt, and age are factors that come into play when making the decision to abort. No-one should expect a 13 year old to keep a baby after being raped, could they? No-one should expect a person of any age to keep a child of a rapist in their womb. No-one should expect an unstable woman to keep the unborn child. No-one should expect someone who wasn't ready for the responsibilities of a child to keep it.
Women don't abort because they feel like it. There are so many factors that influence them to come to such a difficult decision- between keeping it or losing it. Morals are questioned. Society influences. What is right, and what isn't?
Wendy Davis, 50, stood there for 13 hours as a voice for ALL WOMEN with no breaks and nothing to learn on to drag out time and prevent this bill from passing. Yet all the Republicans could do was point out anything Davis did to break this rule.
The passing of this bill is sexist. Men think they can control what women do to their body. But, like I said on twitter- men do NOT carry the baby for nine months. They do not have to worry about what they do or don't consume; they do not experience the pain of another being growing inside them; they do not have to worry about the possibility of miscarriages and having to give birth to a stillborn baby. No, all they do is ejaculate that wretched fluid they have into us and sit back and watch us go through pain.
"This is really about women's health," said Sen. Bob Deuell, who introduced a requirement that all abortions take place in surgical centres. "Sometimes bad things can happen."

Health! I am sure women who choose to abort will look at the risk and consider whether to continue or not. This is not for the better. This is men trying to reign control and show their superiority over us. But do you know why?
Because they fear us. They fear that we are becoming more equal and want to continue to have dominance over women. These sexist pricks don't know what it means for women to go through abortion. They don't know the difficult process of having a child grow inside them.
I can't believe this. I hope there are enough protestants to force the Republicans to back down. I hope they're digging their own graves right now.
-UPDATE-
Apparently Wendy Davis won. The women WON. It's time to rejoice, and for the Republicans to step down from their position and wallow in their sad, sad lives.
