In reply to the discussion: I hated being pregnant. [View all]Freddie
(9,265 posts)And absolutely everyone agreed with me (I have a pretty liberal circle of friends and relatives) except one, my HS friend Pat, a hyper-Catholic. She didnt call me a baby-murderer, just we have been praying for this day, the Bible says not to kill. Im not surprised at her comment, just got me thinking about how, to the pro-life crowd, its almost like we women are not part of the equation. How could she read about the horrors of pregnancy and not even acknowledge that as part of the issue. Like were just supposed to cheerfully submit our bodies and health to their version of morality and say nothing. And submit is what they want, without saying as much. We are not fully human, just vessels.
Its not 1970 anymore. As others have said, if SCOTUS does as predicted, this will be the first time in history that they have actually taken away rights. I wish I had a solution but minority rule will somehow be the end of this country. It cannot stand.
