I'm a staunch pro-choicer, and I firmly believe in the need to expand abortion services to ensure that absolutely nothing comes between a woman and her body. As such, I've received quite a bit of flack from the anti-choice crowd. I've heard all the usual rhetoric: that abortion is murder (which it's not), that the unborn have rights (which they don't), or that fathers have rights in cases of pregnancy (again, no dice). One argument that I've yet to hear is that abortion is a Jewish conspiracy as another way that they can get rid of 'White People' and to regain their heritage from god. I'm serious, some wackos actually believe this. That's got to be the biggest load of racist garbage that I've ever heard. These patriarchs and misogynists, also state that...
American men don't ask much of their women. They know that men constitute 95% of our ponderous prison population and women only 5%, even though women are 59 times more likely to murder their children than fathers--but they do nothing...they know that women pilots are four times more likely than men pilots to crash--but they do nothing...they know that women own 65% of the wealth in the nation even though men earn 43% more than women...all they ask is that married women bear their husband's children!
Stand up to patriarchy, stand up to misogyny, and stand up to this overt sexism and racism!
