I was just listening to an argument that a woman was having, saying that the "safe, legal, & rare" political statement was damaging the pro-abortion movement because it implied that there was a desired low number of abortions and that was condescending to women. She was implying that women have a right to control their bodies completely, a fetus has no right whatsoever and women should proudly support abortion; not just the right, but the act itself.
Although I disagree and believe that the saying has been effective in covering up the fact that there are inhuman trolls like this woman out there thereby making the pro-choice opinion more palatable to the electorate, I was thinking, and getting ready to troll.
Taking the assumption that women have an inalienable right to control over their bodies for granted; including the termination of her pregnancy:
When was this right bestowed on the individual woman?
Was it before or after a young female went through puberty and had the physical ability to become pregnant?
If earlier, was it at the time when the child hit the age of reason?
Was it before that, when the mother named her daughter?
Was it even before that - when the child was first born and left the womb?
Was it during the first ultrasound when sex organs were discovered?
What if a parent decided to sterilize their daughter in utero - would this be an unacceptable wrenching away of that right?
Does it strike you as odd that you find the idea of something being taken away from this child more abominable than the act of dismembering them to death? Or that before the existence of the rights, you could have made a decision over your own body to sterilize your child? That, without the ability to conceive children before rights were bestowed, none could have been taken away? Someone can't say you have stolen something from them that they've never had.
It is a disgrace that people can live in a world of such barbarism.
But I'm glad that her overwhelming glee for the destruction of life is made public, calling the statement that "no one is pro abortion - just pro choice" a demonstrable lie.
