\"A\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t panic at the meaning of the title.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not god forbid suggesting that abortion is not downright immoral, evil and wicked. For it is. I think heinous should also be in there.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not god forbid suggesting that abortion is not simply the murder of the most helpless members of our society. For it is.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not god forbid suggesting that abortion is not simply the murder of the most helpless members of our society, by their own parents who actually created them. For it is.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not god forbid suggesting that abortion is not simply the murder of the most helpless members of our society, by their own parents who actually created them and done simply for the sake of their creator’s convenience \u2013 they\u2019re not ready for having to look after another human being. Imagine all that effort and expense to look after and care for a baby when that same effort and expense can be used for themselves – for it certainly is.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not god forbid suggesting that all those helpful suggestions and myriad opinions from all those wet behind the ears college children, kindly letting us know when they, after much deliberation, think that a foetus should be considered a life, is not a step backward, returning to humanity\u2019s original problem of certain groups of people deciding that certain other groups of people were less human than they were, and could therefore be treated the way they were (just to clarify I mean theft, murder, rape and torture and not respect, help, gifts and free medical care) by the real humans who\u2019s decision allowed them to pretend that their lofty principles, conscience and general sense of right and wrong had not been breached. For they are.<\/p>\n

No. I am simply saying that in addition to being all those things it is also babyish, childish and immature.<\/p>\n

The clue is in the title for their evil ideology.<\/p>\n

Pro Choice.<\/p>\n

Many commentators point to the disingenuous nature of the title. Pro-Choice! Don\u2019t you mean pro killing babies for your convenience. The anti abortionists are Pro-Life. Isn\u2019t that what this fight is about. Pro-Life. Or Pro-Death?<\/p>\n

No, they demurely demure. They\u2019re not Pro-Death. They\u2019re Pro-Choice. That sounds much better. Isn\u2019t choice important?<\/p>\n

The truth is, that the title Pro-Choice is actually correct and indicates what’s really going on in this fight for the right to kill your child before they\u2019re born.<\/p>\n

You have a right to choose, they say, making an appeal to a person\u2019s sense of fairness. Forget about what<\/em> you\u2019re choosing to do. Forget about the fact that you\u2019ve just asked someone to do you a favour and cut up your defenceless child into little pieces. When you wake up, you\u2019ll be in a different room, tucked up in bed, with ideologically committed nurses making a fuss over you, repeatedly telling you how wonderfully brave you were to follow your heart telling you to worry more about your convenience than your own child\u2019s life. All the little baby pieces in the operating theatre will have already been cleaned away. Thrown out in whatever waste disposal method is used, or better yet, being prepared to be sold off as spare parts. Forget all of that. Forget what you actually did. The blood and the killing and all the unpleasantness. There\u2019s something much more important at stake here. Your right to choose.<\/p>\n

You see it all starts because of the ideology of equality<\/a>. Or at least a twisted and warped version of equality.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the most important thing of all. And it\u2019s certainly more important than common sense.<\/p>\n

You see we can\u2019t have any difference between men and women. They must be equal in all ways.<\/p>\n

It is a violation of this sacred law to have the possibility that under a certain set of circumstances the behaviour of women is restricted in one way or another, while the behaviour of men is not. Even if such a restriction would make no sense at all. This means that if men have no restrictions regarding abortion, women shouldn’t either. The fact that men can’t have an abortion in the first place, is neither here nor there. Personally, I think if we could find a way to get men pregnant (and I don\u2019t mean in the new way where men pretend to be women so they can finally be first at something, but actually pregnant) and then make it illegal for them to have abortions, I\u2019d be in favour. You\u2019d solve the problem in five minutes.<\/p>\n

I mean women aren\u2019t complaining that they\u2019re not allowed to kill other people who are not their unborn child. They\u2019re not complaining that they can\u2019t torture. They\u2019re not complaining that they can\u2019t steal. They\u2019re not complaining that they … well you get the idea.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s only one area they\u2019re complaining about. Abortion. If we\u2019re all restricted by the same laws equally, they\u2019re fine. It\u2019s when we get to the one law that applies to women only and not men … well that\u2019s intolerable.<\/p>\n

And even though abortion could conceivably (!) be considered under the umbrella of all those laws about how killing is a no no, still this is one sub section that applies to women only and not men. And that is still unacceptable!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just not fair.<\/p>\n

Yes, I\u2019m sure that all those with children heard the similarity to a child\u2019s tantrum. Hands up those who also had the image of the child stamping their foot in rage. I know I did.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not fair. My chocolate was 1% smaller than his. It\u2019s not fair, she sat in the front yesterday. It\u2019s not fair, I wanted to open the door.<\/p>\n

And so on.<\/p>\n

I would like to point out at this juncture that obviously I don\u2019t actually think a child will say 1% in the midst of their complaint. It\u2019s just my little game of expressing the entire upcoming, main argument of this article in a supremely succinct fashion, en passant and in the middle of a joke, before presenting it fully. And of course so that I can write a whole paragraph about the fact that I\u2019m doing it. Just in case you\u2019re interested.<\/p>\n

Yes. It\u2019s childish. I mean them not me. Well okay me too, but I mean<\/em> them.<\/p>\n

It can\u2019t be that there is one area of life where women have restrictions and men do not.<\/p>\n

There can be no difference between men and women. There must be absolute equality between the two.<\/p>\n

Take medical insurance as another example.<\/p>\n

I once saw a feminist demand that the cost of medical insurance for women be the same as men. In the US medical insurance is one third more for women than it is for men. She was incensed. And I don\u2019t mean she smelled nice. She was still incensed when the host pointed out that women use medical insurance a third more than men do and were simply paying for the service they received. I mean simply getting the insurance to pay for the service they received.<\/p>\n

He also pointed out that men pay more for car insurance because they have more car accidents. She ignored that. The only problem was women pay more for medical insurance. I don\u2019t know why you\u2019re bringing men paying more for something else into this conversation. (We’ll have to adjust the above rule. Men and women must be equal in every single way, unless it’s men who have it worse.)<\/p>\n

It was utterly unacceptable to this feminist that women pay more for health insurance despite the reasonable and logical explanation. This is one of the major problems of the Left. Superficiality. On the surface women paying more for health insurance is discriminatory and sexist. But when you look at the details \u2013 the fact that they use it more, it becomes not only fair, but unfair and unjust if women were to pay the same as men.<\/p>\n

Should we look at the details or just how it seems superficially? Well it depends on what you want to prove. And she wanted to prove that women had it worse.<\/p>\n

Looking at things superficially will lead you to the wrong conclusions. The truth is that men and women actually pay the same amount of medical insurance when you take all the factors into account. Like a grown up. Next article: The Childishness Of Being A Leftist.<\/p>\n

But in the issue of abortion there is<\/em> a lack of equality.<\/p>\n

After all, men have what is called by the people making up names for this kind of stuff – body autonomy. No one can tell them what they can and can\u2019t do with their own bodies. If abortion is illegal that would mean women do not have complete body autonomy when men do and that would be catastrophic discrimination.<\/p>\n

Worse than that, to add fuel to the fire, what really propels the Left into paroxysms of fury is when men<\/strong> tell women they can\u2019t have an abortion. Oh yes. It\u2019s bad enough that women don\u2019t have complete body autonomy, but it\u2019s even worse if it was a man <\/strong>who decided that this should be so. It would be the exact same sexism of the past all over again. Two Articles Time: How The Left Are Incapable of Making Distinctions Between Two Things That Bear A Resemblance But Are Not The Same At All.<\/p>\n

Well if it\u2019s unfair, how can it be that women should have restrictions on what they can and can\u2019t do with their own bodies?<\/p>\n

Er … because you\u2019re killing someone.<\/p>\n

You know how Leftists so cleverly say, \u201cyour right to carry a gun doesn\u2019t Trump (Yeah!) my right to life\u201d. Well doesn\u2019t that apply here too? Your right to body autonomy doesn\u2019t Trump (Yeah!) your child\u2019s right to life. Hence they have to change the argument and invest copious amounts of effort into proving, via highly dubious reasoning, why a foetus is not a life.<\/p>\n

As an aside \u2013 your right to carry a gun is not just a random right. These Leftists are so stupid. \u201cYeah we\u2019ll carry a gun because we like to.\u201d \u2013 that\u2019s me mimicking them, mimicking you. No. It\u2019s for protection. That means to support my right to life. So both the right to carry a gun and being Pro Choice are actually about a right to life. But never mind. They probably also thought that my spelling Trump with a capital T was a mistake and not a reference to someone. Idiots.<\/p>\n

Now while it\u2019s true that some people will go down the foetus-is-not-a-life route, it becomes more difficult the further into pregnancy you go. Therefore, it\u2019s the other route that the ideology is named after \u2013 Pro-Choice. Because at the end of the day that is the most important thing.<\/p>\n

If men do not have any restrictions on what they can and cannot do with their bodies, women cannot either. Since only women can become pregnant and cannot be restricted in any way, this must mean they have a choice when it comes to abortion. Because restriction and choice are opposites you see. Clever eh.<\/p>\n

This is the solution of the Left. Being Pro-Choice. Being fair. Having equality. Not the inequality that was the hallmark of our … lack of equality past.<\/p>\n

But you\u2019re not being fair to the foetus?<\/p>\n

Shhhhhhhh.<\/p>\n

Not so loud.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s true too.<\/p>\n

But I would like to focus on the fact that life is not fair.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s unfair in so many ways.<\/p>\n

Some people are beautiful, some people are ugly. Some people are rich and some people are poor. Some people are healthy and some people are unhealthy. Some people are intelligent, Leftists are stupid. Some people will live to ninety and others will die young. Some people will live in the West with a quality of life that those starving in war-torn dictatorships, working sixteen hours a day for a meagre wage, can only dream of and others will live starving in war-torn dictatorships working sixteen hours a day for a meagre wage, blissfully unaware of the discrimination those men who are now living as women get when they are looked at strangely by normal people.<\/p>\n

Yes, all of life is unfair and in so many more ways than this. And a lot of the time the unfairness gap is a lot wider than the unfairness gap between men and women regarding their body autonomy.<\/p>\n

After all, they seem to forget, for some reason that women have 99.99% control over their bodies.<\/p>\n

If they want to get a tattoo no one is stopping them.<\/p>\n

If they want to eat themselves into obesity no one can stop them. Believe me. Oprah has tried.<\/p>\n

If they want to cut parts of their body off, no one will stop them.<\/p>\n

If they want to date someone, the only person with a say in that is the datee. And even then many women won\u2019t be happy with that.<\/p>\n

No one is allowed to murder, rape or torture them.<\/p>\n

No one is telling them who to date, love or marry.<\/p>\n

No one is telling them how many children to have and with whom.<\/p>\n

Women can do whatever they like.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just that if they do, and they get pregnant, please don\u2019t kill the baby.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not appropriate.<\/p>\n

No! Says the childish Leftist \/ Pro-Choicer. It\u2019s true I have a lot of control over my body, but there is one<\/strong> small area where men don\u2019t have a restriction, so I shouldn\u2019t either! Waah! It\u2019s not fair! We both should have exactly the same amount of chocolate. (Oh now I get it! Actually I don\u2019t.)<\/p>\n

No. It\u2019s a foetus. It\u2019s about to be a person. Grow up. Accept life for what it is. Women have the children and an issue of body autonomy that does not apply to men.<\/p>\n

Stop running to the childish, petulant cry of how unfair it is. Because the unfairness gap in this case is so minisclue compared to other more important unfairness gaps that you should be utterly embarrassed to have brought it up.<\/p>\n

And by the way, even if this unfairness gap would be the widest unfairness gap in existence, you still can\u2019t kill people because of it<\/strong>. The very idea of being allowed to kill someone just to create a fair society, just doesn\u2019t work on so many levels.<\/p>\n

Grow up! Er … man up! Deal with the situation like a responsible and mature adult. If you would have done that in the first place you wouldn\u2019t be in this mess. Wait a minute or so for slow people to get that one.<\/p>\n

There are two ironies to abortion.<\/p>\n

Firstly, the killing of all those babies but the creation of even more childish adults.<\/p>\n

Secondly, those people who kill their own children for their own selfishness, are not going to make good parents at all. Selfishness is not a good trait in anyone let alone a parent.<\/p>\n

Nor is being a murderer.<\/p>\n

Life has been turned upside down.<\/p>\n

It used to be that parents would give their lives to save their children. That includes things like working hard to support your family. Now children must give their lives for the convenience of their parents. Disgusting. Inhuman. And childish in the extreme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
