Women Have Every RIGHT to Control Their Own Bodies

I'm a women and have 3 kids, ages 19 -24, and 1 granddaughter age 4.

Not all of them were planned, and some came at very bad times! But life throws you curve balls. And LOL, sometimes, I'd like to throw those curve balls back!

Birth control was available 19 - 25 years ago, I failed to use them. So we had 3 daughters. My daughter failed to use them 4 - 5 years ago. So we had Lilly.

We adore our unplanned granddaughter. But at 1st  it was a "crisis." We looked at adoption and tried to push my daughter that direction. She wasn't ready, and neither were we! But now, Lilly is a part of us and we'd be broken without her!

All 3 of my daughters NOW use birth control. They understand their rights and also their responsibilities to take control of their own bodies, their own lives, and their own  reproduction. If they don’t, than that’s a choice too. They have the right to all of these choices. As for me, I chose a tubal ligation after child number 3. It was a good choice for me.

This issue’s debate is not a battle For or Against women’s reproductive rights.

It’s not a battle For or Against "a woman’s right to choose to have or to not have a baby” nor the “right to control her own body and reproduction!"

Bottom line: 

If you want to debate these rights, then lets be crystal clear about what the issues actually are and what you are REALLY asking for.

 

You are REALLY asking for “The Right To Choose To Have An Abortion" 

 

Let's not cloud, or mask it, or try to make it sound different with debate points such as "the right to control our own body and reproduction!" Or how unfair it is "because the guy can walk away, but us as woman, our body may be forced to be pregnant for 9 months.” On 1 point of those points in reality the “unfairness” is only partially true. Laws can make a guy pay till a child turns 18. 

Women have every RIGHT to control their own bodies and their reproduction. That control is "birth control." There are many varieties available to choose from. 

Arm implants are available to make birth control easy and mindless lasting for 3 years. That’s a long time to be sexually free and also  pregnancy free! 

Many other choices are also available such as injections that last for 3 months. Patches, IUD’s, daily pills, if you are good at remembering to take them. And also condoms to use as needed. And additional spermicides available if your afraid of breaking condoms. All making reproduction within your full control. 

There is very little room here to make any logical arguments in support of the “right to have an abortion” as a reproductive choice for unwanted pregnancies. 

So "pro-life" and "right of abortion" aside, just consider other factors of abortion such as cost, the abuses and expense of abortion, agencies and corruption, and the risk to a woman’s health physically, psychologically, and emotionally. Moral positions aside, the "right to choose an abortion" isn’t justifiable, it’s wasteful!  

WHY should government and tax payers fund and give "rights for women to choose an abortion" when we already fund a woman’s right to prevent unwanted pregnancies in the 1st place.

Its not justifiable to give women who FAIL to take control of their own bodies and their own reproduction the right to choose an abortion when there are so many varieties of birth control available for women to use. Many of these options are easily available and even provided for FREE!!! 

With all these available and usually free of cost, every woman CAN "Take Control" of their bodies and their own reproduction.

The door to abortion doesn’t have to be wide open to accommodate severe or unusual exceptions. Situations where exceptions exist should be looked at and decided individually. 

Birth control cost comparisons below.

What Abortion Rights Activist are REALLY asking for is NOT for their "right" to "Take Control of Their Own Bodies and Reproduction”

THEY are REALY asking for special allowances and the "RIGHT" to have an abortion FOR  FAILING to exercise their rights to  "Take Control of Their Own Bodies and Reproduction" 

Please, where is common sense?

In Defense of a Commander in Chief

Nothing is perfect. You don't always need to hit the bulls eye to win a game of darts.

George Bush Sr and George W Bush were on the right track headed in the right direction. 

If we didn’t take a "Happy Hour" break with Bill Clinton, and drink ourselves into a Drunken Stupor with Obama, we wouldn't be waking up with such a miserable hangover today!

After, Clinton left behind severe defense and military cuts that Americans wanted and applauded. 

George W Bush was handed the greatest attack ever on our soil, within months of taking office. You blame GW Bush, when the loudest of you all along with Clinton left us wide open and exposed! 

Cutting defense after the Gulf War was probably the biggest mistake made in our lifetime, and we sweep it under the rug. We should start the blame there  for 9/11. We should have cut ridiculous programs, NOT defense! 

George W Bush found himself leading a population of fickle Americans that couldn't tell the difference between facts, reason, and common sense to tall tales, fairy tails, and far fetched science fiction! 

The American people decided that being politically correct was somehow better and more forward thinking than actually BEING  correct. The rest from then to now has been a run away train. 

We should have stuck with G Bush Sr. 

And we also should have stood behind and kept standing behind George W Bush, instead of fighting his administration every step of the way. 

GW Bush didn't change his mind, you all did! Like  gung hoe gang busters you all stepped out. Then when he led the charge, you scrutinized every move, tied the hands of your own military, and you  abandoned your country and your commander in chief! And that’s just plain Nuts!

You stepped forward, but without resolve and commitment. Then the charge you wanted, you abandoned. You left your commander in chief and your country exposed while you criminalized your military and defenders! 

You tied up every initiative with red tape and  politics of your own. And when you ran out of red tape, you made sure you got some more!

Then as always, you blamed everything and everybody but yourselves.

“Of the People and For the People.” Its time to take responsibility for your part in where we are today! 

You pushed the hand of those that lead you into playing politics instead of joining them to lead us to a better safer more abundant place.  

During George W's presidency, Americans tied the hands of our military, prosecuted those that protected them, and fought more for the rights of terrorists than they did for the rights of the innocent. No wonder the world looks at us and can easily depict our weakness. Our weakness is our tolerance and our humanity. Politically correct pressures taking away your right of free speech.

You chose a president that bows to evil regimes, you tolerate terrorists, and you stay silent for the sake of political correctness. And you protest in the  streets and murder your police officers. 

Today American citizens criminalize their police officers, and praise criminals and offenders. 

America you are your own problem! And hopefully some conservative choices can save you from yourselves, without you crying and screaming for the Fruit Loops in the cereal isle!

We need to figure out what we need from our government. And we also need to budget the deficit too! Before you decide to get on board with a cause, evaluate it. There’s not an endless source. Its your house, its your government. Those we hire are supposed to serve us. Not ride our backs with the latest cause. 

The most important things we need to federally support - Military, Defense, Intelligence, we need to be safe and stay free. We need to generously care for our Seniors, and those who can’t care for themselves. And we need to educate our children like they ARE tomorrow!

Starting in preschool, teach them how to think and reason and excel in math, science, literature and physical fitness. Accelerate academically and inspire pride in patriotism! I think all of American schools should be military schools.

American education should inspire patriotism, teach honor, reward ethics, and create young adults that take responsibility for themselves and also for others, stren

gthen them in self respect and discipline. 

Teach them there’s more to being a good citizen than recycling. Teach them to govern themselves, protect their freedoms, and be American!
