Stunned is the only word that describes what I read in our
local newspaper about a comment made on national television by one of our newly
GOP Senate nominees from the state of Missouri. Contraception and Pro-Choice have been “hot topics” by
all of what I call the radical right or the left movements. This man declared that, “legitimate
rape rarely causes pregnancy.” What! What medical person declared that to be
the truth of rape?
I am stunned that someone in his office didn’t just take a
baseball bat to his head. Where is
this guy’s wife? Doesn’t she know
any better? Or as my sister says,
“That guy must not have had a mother.”
Pregnancy is not the issue. The violence of rape is the issue and why didn’t this guy
realize it. Of course, when his
fellow GOP got on his case, he issued a statement say that he misspoke. I would say that he was miss-educated
in the sex education classes in high school or his parents were remiss in
clueing the guy into what was appropriate behavior.
His running mates are quoted as saying that “the
Romney-Ryan administration would not oppose abortion in instances of
rape.” Why is there an opposition
to abortion in the first place?
Women’s rights have not moved ahead at all, in my
opinion. Or we have regressed into
the dark ages. What is it going to
take for the men to “wake up” and as my mother use to say, “fly right?” Or maybe they don’t think they have
to? Or maybe not enough women
think this is an issue we can win.
Is there anyone in the government that can dictate what I am going to do
or not in this day and age? How
can they be so foolish to even think it let alone think they can legislate it?
Men, grow up.
You no longer have the power you think you have. I pity the man whose female members of
the family rise up against him.
Maybe they will have more “balls” in using the baseball bat!
