Now we need protection from birth control?
One of the biggest arguments by pro forced maternity activists is that women need ‘protection’. This how they’ve managed to get such ‘protective’ measures as informed consent, parental consent and mandatory waiting periods passed into law as well the upswing in support for forced sonograms.
We women supposedly have no idea that an abortion ends an unwanted pregnancy and we need ‘protection’ from the abortionists who would rather poke their eyes out with toothpicks than let us in on the secret.
Well, now they’ve found something else we need protection from. Birth control. Specifically we need protection from Lybrel. What makes Lybrel so dangerous? It’s a non-stop birth control pill that stops periods.
Why is that dangerous? Because it blurs the gender lines! Yep. Wingnuts throughout the land can only tell the difference between men and women if they’re given roughly thirty days and one bleeds “from down there” at some point. (Makes one wonder about the anatomy of the average wingnut, eh?)
A video clip from FauxNews on the “backlash” sums it all up (notice the whole “birth control equals out of control slut-pregnancy as punishment for sex” ideology at the end):
Holy crap! I wanted to shake my computer.
What I love most about the clip is that the Fox moderator didn’t step in and challenge any of Leslie’s nonsense — or even her outright lies. The drug company that makes the new pill should sue her for slander.
By the way, if it’s a gift to be able to have children, who did that gift come from? Was it packaged in a nice box, with a pretty bow? And–if it’s merely a gift, rather than a compulsory action mandated by the state– why shouldn’t a person be able to exchange it for a different item? I don’t always keep every present I get, and nobody forces me to carry stuff around inside my body.
Like you, KC, I’m fascinated by the attitude that if you’re a teenage girl and you screw around, you ought to be punished by a forced maternity. Nice, loving religion, eh? It all goes back to that stupid apple-eating contest, doesn’t it? But what if the serpent had been pushing beef jerky instead of fruit.
I wanted in on that conversation in the worst way. So now that the secret agenda, preventing new births, of the drug companies and planned parenthood has been outed I guess they will have to go to plan B. She seemed to be of the belief that we are facing some sort of a crisis level shortage of new babies due to the evils of birth control. The last time I checked the planet was getting a little crowded so my guess is that we’re not going to run out of the little bundles of joy any time soon. If only there were a pre-natal test that would determine whether the fetus within would be an idiot like that glassy eyed moron in the yellow suit how great would that be?
When I have the mis-fortune of getting into a conversation with one of these forced maternity types I find that they are never willing to offer any help or solutions for those facing an unwanted pregnancy once the baby arrives. I have also noticed they never seem to be around when those babies and children need food and medical care. Wouldn’t that kind of help be pro-life?
On another note, I do question the safety of the Lybrel but for reasons that have nothing to do with any perceived conspiracy to deprive the world of more babies.
Holy cow.
I don’t question the safety of Lybrel at all – see my post here, with links to the relevant studies.
