Un-Liberaled Woman

My friend Laura and I were talking about the federal government’s continued effort to expand its crusade against parents’ rights in this country. This week Big Brother announced its plans to force the sale of the morning after pill to minors without parental consent via eliminating the doctor’s prescription requirement. (via The Boston Globe)

The federal government plans to announce that it would allow the sale of the morning-after pill Plan B without a prescription to women as young as 17, making the controversial contraceptive available to minors for the first time without a doctor’s order, a federal official said.

First, I ain’t gonna lie – 10 years ago I probably would have been rallying around this announcement at the student union and then skipping class to get ready for that night’s raging kegger without a second thought into understanding what it really was I supported. Priorities for most 21 years olds are messed up – TRUST. (and before you ask, NO that is not me in this pic. I totally prefer hot pink thongs when I go out to be the drunken fool. Geez! LOL.)

But now after growing (and sobering) up a little, I’ve realized that there is no need for the government to intervene the way it tries to do when it comes to women and reproductive “rights.”

Here’s the deal on the morning after pill. Technically it’s not inducing an abortion like the RU486. The morning after bill, aka Plan B, is more like a heavier dosage of birth control pills, BUT you are supposed to administer a pregnancy test prior to taking it. If you are pregnant, taking Plan B would cause serious harm to the baby and possibly result in a miscarriage (aka an “assisted abortion” if you will).  Keeping more controversial reproductive measures under the care of physicians and parental controls for minors is a good thing. Because how many teenagers do you know would be the utmost responsible when facing a high stressful pregnancy scare???? OR, should the federal government start allowing minors to just do their own abortions without medical physician assistance??? Exactly.

Allowing for no parental notification or doctor input by defeating the prescription requirement, opens the door for more serious abuses among minors when it comes to these controversial reproductive methods. And Planned Parenthood, where minors would go now to get a non-prescription based Plan B, has always been so trustful (rolling eyes) when it comes to “family planning” with minors are on their own. This is just one, but there are thousands more out there….Rooooooooooll tape -

I mean this is a nation where parents will still attend Britney “I Swear I’m Off The Frap!” Spears concerts with their teenagers/minors, so the idea that the federal government is forcing parents not to be notified or a physician involved is ludicrous.  Why do liberal administrations have this crazy idea that kids should be allowed to do anything they want without the input of parents? I mean, parents could show support by GAAAAH! actually parenting!!!! ALERT! Sound the alarms – we’ve got parents starting to be responsible!!! ALERT! ALERT!

Just because you are a teenager doesn’t mean you have the maturity to handle these situations on your own. And technically the government shouldn’t be encroaching on parental rights to this degree.  Gee, what’s it gonna be next…

I don’t think the far left actually believes abortion is a woman’s right. I believe they have been programmed via the infamous LGC (Liberal Guilt Card) blindly convincing themselves and manipulating others onto the pro-abortion campaign because basically it’s against the right side of the issue. And now the DNC is too well connected financially to walk to the other side of decreasing abortion capabilities. So out go the morals of establishing boundaries, up goes the propping of the tip jar, and the screaming to the hills about women’s “rights” continues. I mean we’ve got fundraisers and limo liberal money to get to, people! We can’t be questioning things like moooooooorals when there are $$$ signs staring you IN DA FAAAAAAAAAAACE!

When it comes to abortion the far left mask their agenda as being pro-choice when really it’s just pro-ONE-choice. If making abortion legal and expanding its capabilities really decreased the number of abortions why then have more than 50 MILLION babies been denied the right to life since Roe v. Wade? Ummmm, just sayin.

Abortion is not a reproductive right – the reproduction has already occurred, people! There is a reason that many, many people who are pro-life ARE for the use of condoms or birth control (despite what liberals will tell you) but not for abortion because they feel life has been created. Pro-lifers are not against responsible contraception but it is that after reproduction has occurred it is not our inalienable right to then choose whether that baby lives or dies. I’m sorry, I’m just being honest. You may feel due to a life of being programmed that what a woman chooses to do with her body is her right but I disagree. If a woman were pregnant and did heroine, coke or even smoked cigarettes people would be in an uproar lining up to call her an unfit mother in court. Heck, I’m even considering the idea of getting pregnant and I’ve already been lectured 3 times on what I can/can’t eat for the “health” of my not-yet-reproduced baby. Why? Doesn’t the woman have the right to choose what she does with her body even if she’s pregnant???  You can’t cherry pick when its okay and then not okay for a person to violate another person’s civil rights, like a baby’s right to life.

I remember the quote by Justice Oliver Wendell-Holmes:

“The right to swing my fist ends where the other man’s nose begins.”
