o I'm watching TV the other night, yes I still delve into the mundane from time to time even though I profess to the television as being one of the key contributing factors to the downfall and degradation of the human condition. I'm a hypocrite I know but let's face it, so are you.
Regardless of my stance on the innnerworkings of our beloved media I still take the time to peruse the bland, mundane and insultingly simple offerings of the major networks every so often; and while surfing my remote on this eve in particular I stumbled upon a program where the hot topic of the day was abortion, and not just any abortion, 3rd trimester abortion. Which was news to me because until now I had thought that aborting a fetus at eight and one half months was considered more an act of murder than a "woman's right to choose", but there they were, three left leaning liberal lobbyists toting on about the freedoms and rights of women and how it's an abomination of justice to deny these woman, and all women, the right to abort a pregnancy at any time before the child takes its first breath.
Now I'm no expert on the issue and I'm not about to impede on any one's right to choose, think, feel or fuck but this just felt wrong. It felt like the same hate mongering bully tactics that the Bush administration used to use in effort to promote their "war on terror". It felt like new-speak.
Here you have one man slamming his fist on the table using buzz words like 'rights' and 'freedoms' to push his agenda and attaching these claims to the idea that a woman should be able to abort her "choice" at any time before the child has his or her bottom whacked by a doctor. Now when you do this you are, in my opinion, promoting the agenda that if anyone disagrees with you or your stand on the issue that they must be hate filled monsters eager to rip the choices and freedoms away from you the common people. Why can't I just think that killing a baby six weeks before its due date is wrong? Why do I have to be made of two parts evil and one part ignorance in order to be allowed to hold this opinion? Why should I be pigeonholed into a tiny box labeled ignorant evil woman hating fool if I don't agree with these bullies? You tell me.
And then we have the other side of the table, the leveling argument, the "logic" factor preaching the common sense of it all to the not so easily bullied and abused. Here we have a man stating that "The reason this is done is because women discover that they're going to give birth to an abomination, brain damaged or deformed and all they're trying to do is prevent the birth of this creature and protect it from a cruel unforgiving world."
Okay, fine. Let's be honest then shall we? In truth nobody WANTS to give birth to a handicapped child, a damaged or deformed offspring, but who are we to deny this creatures existence based on our world view? How is this a choice that any of us should be allowed to make? And where do we draw the line? I mean eight and a half months is not so shy of nine, or ten. What if the child is born and you immediately see that he has six fingers, two sets of sex organs, or maybe he's blind, deaf, dumb or whatever, I mean the umbilical cord is still attached so it's technically still not "Born" by some degree of definition, why not cut the babies head off its tiny shoulders and be done with it? Fuck it right, it's a woman's right to make these choices.
Now I know what you're thinking and yes a new mother recoiling in horror at the site of her deformed newborn and screaming "Abort it abort it cut the monsters head off!" on the operating table not only seems hideous but completely insane, but where do you draw the line? How far along is too far? Ten years ago the idea of terminating a pregnancy at seven or eight months was considered not only inhumane and vile but science fiction to point. Now there are three doctors in the USA doing this today, and a whole cavalcade of supporters on the "left" side of life singing their praises across the airwaves and telling you that if you disagree with this then you must be no better than the born again chauvinist fear mongering extremist women hating red necks that you see brandishing billboard size photos of dead babies while firebombing abortion clinics. I say fuck that, fuck you and fuck right off if you think I'm going to be verbally beaten into a corner where I had better side wi th you or I'm an ignorant asshole and anyone who disagrees with you on any level is ignorant and no better than your average KKK member.
But I of course am just one man, with one set of views. So I put it to you America, when is enough enough and how far are you willing to let this go before we're burning heaping piles of bodies of the mentally challenged in the streets while praising science for helping us see the light leading toward a more perfect world. I mean the last person who was promoting the late term abortion of "undesirable" fetuses in effort to produce a stronger, better populace was, well Hitler.
Please take the time to share your opinions with me below, I am quite interested to hear your thoughts.
