Unfortunately, when the crisis has passed -- days, weeks, months, or years later -- women who aborted find or figure out what they did -- what their baby actually looked like -- and they are distraught and experience all kinds of emotional distress.
What kind of "choice" is that?
Oh, and btw — NRO describes Powers as a “liberal feminist.” Progress — we’ll win her over fully yet — the truth is power.
Unfortunately, the author’s assertion that women aren’t delicate little flowers has been rendered moot by the federal government and every corporate and business entity in the US.
The country, on both of the above levels, has bought into the idea that words are enough to reduce women to sniveling, drooling, irrational thunder-spooked puppies, through the enactment of policies like ‘hostile work environment,” “subtle sexual harassment,” speech codes and censorship, and the general air of cowardice among all management levels whenever a hint of a complaint is raised regarding “harassment.”
So, we’re telling women that they can have it all, crash the corporate boardroom, be cops and carry guns, be firefighters and carry victims, be combat troops and kill everyone in sight while blowing every other thing up, but...words - be afraid. Be very afraid.
That has always been my opinion, too: If women are strong enough and capable enough to “make a choice,” why are they delicate little flowers unable to handle the information?
The answer: This is all about money. It has nothing to do with the woman and certainly not the baby.
