I make a distinction between wanting to kill a baby – which is no “right” I feel compelled to defend – and enforcing personal autonomy over women’s bodies and this includes ferility, having many babies and large families, medicine, battery and rape within marriage, etc.

I came to my pro-choice stance in college reading the science fiction classic, Ender’s Game, written by Orson Scott Card. In the book, America has put a limit on the number of children families can have to preserve resources. But, they are looking for a genius child to save the world so they test certain bright children and allow a few families to have 3 children.

Fundamentally I want the government and all other entities to stay out of my womb. Period.

It may sound far-fetched, but China has been doing this for decades. I’ve heard many people say they think the government should legislate or regulate fertility treatments because of Nadya Suleman’s Octuplets and such responsibility should be prevented and we shouldn’t have to pay for it. Next thing you know we’re telling Michelle Duggar she can’t have any more children because who would want 19 children? Then were prosecuting people who try to have a singleton after a multiple birth.

No way. I defend Octimom’s right to have as many children as she wants. I defend my right to have only two. I defend Roe v. Wade only as a defense of physcial autonomy for women.

Think Ender’s Game is ”just a book?” So was The Communist Manefesto, The Bible, and Fatherland.

The entire universe was created with the words “Let there be light.” 

I defend her right to choose. I defend her right to reproduce I defend every single woman’s physical autonomy.

Octimom, Choice, Life, & Science Fiction

Sarah Palin had a Downs Syndrome baby last year.

Great CHOICE.

It’s such a tight rope women walk in today’s world.

Republicans claim to want to reduce the abortion rate.

Republicans claim to think it’s wrong when women who work fulltime and “abandon their children in daycare.”

Republicans claim to hate “entitlement programs” that cost them tax money.

I have to wonder why, when facing a solution to 3 of their main concerns with universal healthcare, they are not jumping on board with glee.

If women have equal access to healthcare they can prevent conception, the most effective means of drastically lowering the abortion rate.

If women have equal access to healthcare they can more easily work fewer hours, more flexible hours untied to corporate 40 in-office hour work weeks, resulting in more face time with their children. In other words – Mary Kay Lady takes on a whole new level of stability.

If women have equal access to healthcare they are less likely to seek prenatal care and give birth with taxpayer money, thus reducing women’s reliance on “entitlement programs.”

Not to mention all the kids who currently receive SCHIPS because they can’t get health insurance due to pre-existing conditions. With both Democrats’ healthcare reforms “pre-existing conditions” (read: any diagnosis) are overruled and EVERYONE gets equal access.

I have to wonder if they really are looking for solutions or if they are getting something out of having these problems to bitch about?

Perhaps they just hate women?

I think they might be getting more out of having these problems than they would by solving them.

Stop Abortion Vote Healthcare!
