For all of those women who cry “because I’m a woman, and it’s my body, I have a choice”, what choice does the woman in the womb have?!!!!
“because I’m a woman, and it’s my body, I have a choice”
I did not get to my point of view on abortion on religious grounds. Seems to have started back in my high school days when the Vietnam war had just started to escalate. If you were an 18 year old guy, you had to register for the draft, with a good chance you’d wind up going to fight. Lots of people complained and protested about this fact.
I remember being at a friend of mines house with several other people from school. One of them was on a rant, about “I have two sisters and they don’t have to register for the draft.” My friends father who was in the next room (and a World War II vet) came into the room and said, “boy, it’s this simple - women have babies and men fight wars.” Seemed completely logical to me.
As far as I can remember, no women ever assembled in groups to protest not being drafted. I guess at that time it wasn’t “their body and their choice.” And what my friend’s father had said made perfectly good sense to me.
