Un-Liberaled Woman

One time I had an extremely hard time dealing with somebody saying I didn’t support women’s rights because I was pro-life. Me of all people – the college-educated, career-driven, independent, direct and brass woman. But this is a liberal myth that many women have a hard time getting beyond. Because they are put in a situation where they are brainwashed to think that being pro-life means denying a woman her right to choose, and being a woman why would you be against denying women a choice??? But really and honestly, when you get down to the actual act and discussion of rights, that’s not what the issue of abortion is really about. I now this know because I had to dissect this issue for years in order to know the real truth.

Then I came across this video today – man, where was this wise girl when I was going through all of that? She would have just probably been learning to form sentences, but come on, isn’t she a millennial. Slacker. Kidding!!! Anyshowoff, the girl in this video gives a honest take on the pro-life stance, delivering the hard truth in a most articulated fashion. Wise beyond her years and delivering sound, logical arguments to this highly-debated political issue. Watch the entire thing – at the end you’ll be in awe that she’s only 12.

Couple of awesome quotes. At the end:

If you walk away with anything from this speech, walk away with the words of Horton. You know him, the elephant that risks his life to save that little speck. Remember him and his famous quote. “Even though you can’t see them or hear them at all, a person’s a person no matter how small.”

And from earlier in the vid:

“We must remember that with our rights and our choices come responsibilities. And we can’t take someone else’s right away to avoid our responsibilities.”

Abortion is always touted as “women’s rights” and being pro-life means you are somehow denying a group of people (in this case that group is women) a right. That is such a manipulated myth that it is just ridiculous. Just ask, Norma McCorvey, the plaintiff in Roe v. Wade, who is now a pro-life advocate. But too many people miss the picture on this. It’s not about someone’s right over what to do with their body. It’s about another person’s right to life. A person who doesn’t have the capability for anyone to hear them. For those people who cannot voice their desire or will for life, it’s our responsibility as human beings to respect that right (despite whether we are ashamed or humiliated by that person’s right). And supporting that right to life doesn’t make you any less of a supporter for human or women’s rights. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a moron and don’t waste your breath arguing with idiots. Need a visual of the kind of morons I’m talking about. Here’s one of my favs all hopped up on her soapbox:
