Where are we going, and why are we in this handbasket?
I just read that South Dakota has signed a law that will outlaw abortions. Man, I love it when people tell us what to do with our bodies. Maybe they would like it if I told them what they could go do with theirs?!
Well, I will say that at least I don't live there, but I doubt that OK will be far behind...we are in the bible belt, after all, with more friggen churches on every street corner, I'm surprised they don't just join with the gas companies! Fill up and be saved! The ultimate convenience!
Do you know what all of this makes me think of? All of these dumb asses are the same ones who are making a stink when we actually try to educate our kids! Teach them what sex is, so they don't learn it from the other kids who don't know a damn thing about it anyway! Teach them what contraception is, so that the number of unwanted pregnancies will go down! They think that the only thing we should be teaching our kids about sex is not to do it. Well, I have news for you: they are human, too, and they will damn well do it! Telling them not to is to make them think it is cool and mysterious, and want it all the more. And, when they go do it, they will know little or nothing about the REAL dangers, or how to prevent them with protection like condoms.
Contraception should be provided to these kids! They will save themselves and their parents (and their partners) a lot of grief if they have it available to them! Yes, this is also the fault of the parents. They should be teaching their kids about it, too. But the church has made it such a taboo that noone wants to risk making their kids heathen sinners. I've got news for you. They are only humans. They have desires, and suppressing those desires is very unhealthy.
So, South Dakota, you want to cut down on abortions, making them illegal won't work. Teaching your children about sex and protection will. Let them make the choice with all the information they need to make the best one, before they have to make the choice of how to get out of the mess they made.
Lots of love.
