A few weeks ago I was at someone's house watching the UFC fights.
The sister of one of my friends was there; she claims to be a feminist
and is a hardcore liberal, as is evident by the hybrid Civic she
drives, plastered with more liberal, hippie, tree hugging, war loathing
bumper stickers than any person could possibly read at a red light.
She has an assortment of different T-shirts with sayings and slogans on
them that I have seen before, liberal for sure, but none too
memorable. But the shirt she was wearing this night caught my
attention immediately and stands out in my memory. It simply said
"Reproductive Freedom Fighter."
I sat there in an unnoticeable awe for a moment or two because from
this three worded statement I derived two meanings. Think back to all
the proclaimed "freedom fighters" from the War on Terror in Iraq and
Afghanistan. The liberals, like Cindy Sheehan, called them "freedom
fighters," whereas those who see the value in war referred to them by
their more proper name: terrorists. They were terrorists because they
killed innocent people. They were terrorists because they utilitized
violence to hopefully achieve a desired result politically. They were
terrorists because they terrorized people.
Here is this shirt claiming that this female is a "reproductive
freedom fighter." How utterly appropriate. Like the "freedom
fighters" over in Iraq and Afghanistan, these Feminazis too are
terrorists. They too kill innocent beings in order to achieve a
desired political result. How utterly appropriate. It would be like
Dahmer wearing a shirt that says "I kill boys and eat them." The same
message is conveyed; however, being a "reproductive freedom fighter" is
much more politically correct and sociably acceptable. Somehow murder
is OK before delivery, I don't get it. Somehow it is fine to terrorize
children before they are birthed, but you can't do remotely the same
after they are born. Try stabbing a scissors in the stem of the brain
of a birthed child. But if you claim to be a fighter for reproductive
freedom it is seen has heroic and tolerant.
The other meaning I derived from the shirt was the fact that it
implied she fights for the freedom to reproduce or to have the choice
to reproduce freely. This argument, however, is utterly fallacious
because every woman has the right and the freedom to choose whether or
not to reproduce. Each can make a conscious choice whether or not to
pursue the activity that can end up in reproduction. Women already
have reproductive freedom; it's called choice. They can choose the
leave the pants on or take them off. However, calling it reproductive
freedom is just another one of the many sugar coated liberal sayings,
kind of like our new word for terrorism, man-made disasters. It's so
warm and fuzzy!
On one hand she claims to be a freedom fighter on the reproduction
front. But on the other hand she claims to want the freedom to
reproduce because assumingly she doesn't have such freedom. She wants
to be able to terrorize children and murder them, but at the same time
have the choice to create them or not. As fashionable as it is to be a
"reproductive freedom fighter" these days, why can't these people
realize that if they exercise their current freedom of being able to
choose that they would not need to fight for further freedom in
reproductive "rights?" If "A" potentially leads to "B," why take that
route? Just for the sake of murder?
Which brings me to my next point. One of my former co-workers once
told me that her sister had her second abortion a day or two prior to
when she told me that. She said it nonchalantly, like saying that it
is raining outside or that she walked her dogs before work. Whether or
not it was truthful, I am not sure. That is besides the point,
however. The matter of saying it like so matter-of-fact and casually
was ironic because she was talking about a human life. This former
co-worker was also a member of PETA, that crazy animal "rights"
organization. The utterly ironic part is that she doesn't want a pig
to die for my eating pleasure, but doesn't have a problem with a child
being murdered.
I enraged her one night before that, talking about my right to eat
animals because I am on the top of the food chain and how they taste so
good. I could tell she got quite mad and I told her I was going to
dine on pork chops for dinner that particular night. She called me
over to her work area and showed me a few PETA videos on animal cruelty
and whatnot, like it was supposed to change my mind. Imagine what
she'd think if I tried showing her videos of the horrors of baby
killing. She claimed that pigs are smarter than humans (they probably
are smarter than some humans) and that killing them is wrong. My
question to her: When was the last time pigs send someone to the moon?
When was the last time a pig did an open heart surgery? When was the
last time you had a pig do your taxes? You get the picture.
She was outraged by a pig being my dinner, but had absolutely no
problem telling me her sister had her second abortion. This as totally
backwards. When someone is much more concerned with the treatment of
an animal, and whether or not that animal ends up on your plate next to
a starch and vegetable, than their concern for is a human life,
something is wrong. Somewhere down the road there was a disconnect.
When animals have more rights than humans, something somewhere went
wrong.
These two ladies show the quintessential liberal view on life,
however. One claims to be a "reproductive freedom fighter,"
terrorizing life in the name of "choice" and the other places a pig's
life much higher than the human life slaughtered by her sister's second
abortion. The fact remains, however, that there is no reason to be a
"reproductive freedom fighter" because women already have the freedom
to reproduce when they want to. It's just greedy to want even more
choices and options when they already have all they need. Priorities
are backwards, too, when animals are placed at a higher standing than
children, than humans. When killing a pig is seen as cruel and
horrific, but the murder of an unborn child is as nonchalant as a
casual nod, something is backwards.
If murder is illegal, how can women still freely opt to kill humans?
