Regarding the Minus 20 article, “Their right to a life” (April 7), I had to express my disgust.
It was misinformed, hateful and disgusting. If the writer has a problem with young women becoming pregnant, pushing for more birth-control education and funding would be a good thing, would it not? Instead, she does a lot of shaming of young women and pushing the “abstinence-only”
Sentiment that is ultimately harmful to young women. Yes, there are more important things in life than orgasms, but let me ask, “What about the boys involved? Why not shame them? Why? Because it’s OK for males to be promiscuous, but not for females? This writer clearly has a very low opinion of her own gender. Just because she may have run into women who believe they can use abortion as a birth-control method does not mean all women think this way.
I recommend the writer do more research. One book is entitled, He’s a Stud, She’s a Slut, and 49 Other Double Standards Every Woman Should Know. If this young women educated herself, she would learn to have more respect for her fellow females and trust them. We are not all stupid, and can make decisions regarding our own bodies for ourselves.
The abortion issue is a controversial one, but think about this: we hear about pro-lifers chastising and shaming women for getting abortions, and telling women they should not have them. But when was the last time you heard a pro-choicer telling pregnant women they should be getting an abortion? The answer is simple: you don’t. The vast majority of pro-choicers are just that – pro-choice. We value life, too, but we also value individual choice, an inherent human right regardless of what this writer believes.
Nobody will force her to have an abortion, but the pro-life faction does indeed try to force women to carry fetuses, whether they are ready or not. And that is what they are – fetuses. Don’t kid yourself; a fetus is not a baby. If a fetus were a “citizen”, as she claims, and if a difficult pregnancy results in the mutilation or death of the mother, can the
Fetus be sued? Can the mother charge this “citizen” fetus womb rental? Get real!
I cannot and will not condone something that leads women to believe they do not have a right to educate and protect themselves as they see fit. Nor will I condone something that leads them to believe they should be ashamed of themselves or their bodies – or even their sexual appetite – for any reason! Women – even young women – should be able to have as much sex as they want, same as men. Abortion is not the issue – birth control is – and it should be available to everyone, along with proper education so women can make informed decisions about what’s best for then.
It’s not about orgasms; it’s about freedom.
