Thursday, March 03, 2005 I Guess if You're Unlucky Enough to Get Raped, You Ought to Pay the Price This enrages me. The fact that this administration must force their extremist views on abortion in the global arena and demand that the language at the UN's women's conference is anti-abortion is just proof positive that Bush and Company believe that blasting and bombing your views upon other cultures is not good enough. Now, for anyone with the capability to see issues in shades of gray rather than the extremes of ONLY black and white: Let's see... women are raped by the 1000's in Africa alone, but let's force those unlucky women around the globe to bear the child of a rapist because our President and his evangelical minions are going to force their "culture of life" down the entire planet's throats. If men could conceive and were raped at the same rate as females, I am certain that forcing a person to bear a child that results from rape would be null and void. Oh there I go being such a silly girl again... I should stop using my brain and realize that the only part of me that really counts is my ovaries. |
