When men need to stay on the sidelinesOk one of my biggest pet peeves is pro-life men who have the audacity to judge women who have had abortions. That just pisses me off like few things do. It just really grates upon my nerves. I usually agree with men over women on most issues, and usually tend to get along with men better, but in this case, men need to just shut up and sit in a corner. They should have NO say when it comes to the issue of abortion, because you know what, they don't have anything to do with it. They are completely out of the equation, so their sperm might fertilize the egg, but after that, they don't have to deal with it. They don't have to have this baby growing inside of them, if they don't want to have anything more to do with it, after it has been conceived they can just take off, once the sperm as entered the woman, that is it for them, so they have no right to say ANYTHING on this issue.
I myself have never had the personal experience of being pregnant before, but as a woman, and as someone who does not at all want to have children I can relate to the difficult position women must be in when they are struggling with a pregnancy that they are not prepared for or do not want, perhaps they could have used better judgement in either using proper protection, or not have intercourse if they were not prepared to have a child, but still sometimes shift just happens, and the woman has the right to make the choice which she feels is in her and ultimately the child's best interest. Would a child really be better off born in a situation which cannot properly support it? Where it may be neglected or abused? Or put into the much flawed foster care program? Sometimes it is in the best interest of both the mother and the child for it to never be brought into the world when it cannot feel the pain of its neglect. And I just cannot stand men who dare to get on their high horse about this issue because they do not have an inkling of an idea of what it would be like. Men like to make it 100% the woman's responseblity and say, well she should just keep her legs cloosed or use contriception but why don't men keep it in thier damn pants? Or take the responseblity upon themselves to use a condmn? It goes both ways, but as long men are not willing to own up to thier own guilt and part in it then they best just keep thier mouths shut about it. They don't have to deal with the physcial consequences of it, a man can knock up as many women as he likes and never have to take any responseblity for it, never know any physcial consequences from it, not have his life altered forever. Well women don't have that right, it is a crime if a woman abandons her baby but it isn't a crime for a man to abandon a woman whom he inpregnanted. So men don't get to have a say in the issue. I would physically assault any man who was in my proximity who made any judgements against a woman who had an abortion. 10:25 AM - 6/15/2009 - post comment
