Progressives! It is time to change the message! Let's frame the issues from OUR perspective!
Okay, I've been silent long enough. A few years back I injured my leg and had to, simply put, just hang out until it healed. Not being one to just sit around, I tried everything to keep busy, even working 13 hours a day from my recliner/prison-chair. So I started watching C-SPAN. It was all over from there. I mean, really?!? Really? Were these Republicans for real?
It turns out they were for real, they were serious, and they have managed to pull off a coup - one that endangers the entirety of humanity. So, now I will speak.
On Abortion....They are not pro-life:
--Pro-fetus, perhaps, but definitely not pro-Life
--Pro-war, perhaps, but not pro-Life
--Pro-profit-over-everything, perhaps, but not pro-Life
It is time to call the pro-lifers by a more fitting group name: Pro-forced-childbirthers
Have we come so far unhinged that we will, like so many times in history, give over our basic, common-decency, common-sense rights to the wealthy or powerful few again? Just because they have the ability to verbally manipulate the issues does not put them in the right morally.
If we let them take this right from us, this right of when to become a mother, then we have stepped off of the curb to the street of tyranny. Then they will be able to do anything to us that they want.
Change the message. They no longer get to tell us when to have children. That is our right and the medical care that goes with it is our right as well. Forced child-bearing is tyranny. Period.
