I am surprised how often comes up in the blogsphere. What I am also surprised at is the inconsistency of the anti-choice position when it comes to war and capital punishment. The fetus fetishists fall over themselves decrying the evils of abortion and how women must be prevented from exercising their rights to bodily autonomy while all the while the politicians they support go to war, enact egregious foreign policy and support predatory capitalism/globalism.
How about this? Let’s not go to war and kill thousands of innocent people for the lofty notions of ‘fighting terrorism’ or ‘energy security'(those damn arabs having the nerve to live on top of *our* oil. Or, let us donate the full .07 of our GNP so the thousands of children that die every day from lack of clean water/starvation can be saved. Or the thousands of children who die from malaria that could be saved by inexpensive mosquito netting?
Nah.
That would conflict with the accepted foreign policy goals. Debate on those topics is verboten. What is on the table though saving lives via denuding women of their bodily autonomy and reproductive freedom. We can debate that until the cows come home.
Utter horse-pucky.
