There's A Lot of War Going On but No War on Women

   What is the opposite of pro-life?  It is not pro-choice.  It is anti-life.  Here are some of my thoughts on abortion and the so-called War on Women.
  • The only "choice" that Democrats are interested in is the choice to have an abortion.  They are attempting to take away just about all other types of choices we Americans have.
  • I submit that if there is a War on Women being waged by the Republicans, then there must be a War on Little Lives (Babies) being waged by the Democrats.  It is the Democrats that have blood on their hands.
  • I recently was told that a "life" was being terminated in an abortion, but not a "person".  Accusations are often made that Republicans are ignorant about science, or that they are ignoring science.  I ask those accusers how you could possibly come up with a scientific study to document at what  precise point a life becomes a person.  There is no science behind such a belief, nor can there be.
  • It is also much more apparent to me that there is a War on Religion (more specifically, Christianity) being waged by the Democrats.  The HHS mandate is evidence of that.  What is astounding is that the Democrats see in the Republicans' defense of the freedom of religion to be a War on Women.  Not only that, Democrats do not see anything wrong with forcing a business, in this case, the health insurance industry, to provide a product to consumers at no cost.  In others words, they are required to give someone something free.  They even claim that women have a RIGHT to, not only contraceptives, but FREE contraceptives.
  • Some of these required drugs are abortion-causing drugs.  Forcing religious institutions to provide these to their workers violates their religious tenets.  There is no War on Women here.  There is a war on innocent lives.
  • Conservatives are constantly being portrayed as being mean-spirited, violent, and intolerant.  Are conservatives the ones who promote the killing of innocent lives?
  • Planned Parenthood continues to be the place where the most abortions are performed in America.  That number keeps rising.  Our Federal government continues to give this organization subsidies.  Our tax money continues to go there.  They get by with this by saying that none of that money is used for abortions.  Americans should be able to figure out that that is just spin.  This support should stop immediately.
  • There are almost as many abortions amongst African-American women in large urban areas such as New York City as there are births.  Why, oh why, are the Democrats not crying out with all their might that this is outrageous?  Why isn't the African-American community up in arms over this?  Why are a disproportionate number of blacks being aborted than any others?  Shouldn't the ACLU be raising a royal stink about this?  Yet it's the conservatives that are the ones being portrayed as having no compassion.  They are the ones who want to put a stop to this.
  • If conservatives are fighting a War on Women, does this mean that conservative women are fighting against their own kind?  And most men, whether conservative or not, know better than to fight against women.  If anything, another war that is being fought is the one being fought by the Democrats against conservative women.  Consider the treatment of Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin, just to name a few.
  • The GOP is not conducting a War on Women.  This concept must be some more of that fairy dust or snake venom.  And the real reason why this concept is being promoted is to distract America during an election season from that fact that our country is going down the toilet under the present leadership.
  • I take some comfort in the fact that polls indicate that more people agree with me than with the Democrats on the issue of abortion.  It is not even that close these days.
