First tidbit. We're not talking about "Saharan Africa." That would be people who live in the desert. Where Bedouins live? You know? The "Sahara" desert?
The issue is sub-Saharan Africa, as anyone who knows a thing about the subject of AIDS in Africa knew before they read this article, and surely should have known after reading it.
Second. I lived in sub-Sarahan Africa for five years, and I assure you I know abundantly more about the "social customs of young Saharan [sic] Africans" than you do, and I have known, personally and well, many more African girls-- and women-- than you have. They surely do know they can be raped. Do you truly think any woman anywhere really doesn't know the difference between consensual and forced sex? But I'm wondering how that sick, ignorant fantasy of yours even got into the conversation. It seems not to have a thing to do with cutting off funds for education, contraception and medical care in clinics that merely inform women about medical options including abortion.
Now let's go on the the amusing, surreal part where YOU call people stupid:
<<stupid bogus theories to place blame instead of trying to find ways to educate is
what I expect from the very best and brightest of the truly stupid vacant liberal minds. >>
It is not a bogus theory of mine that clinics that tell women about abortion have their funds cut for
~the education you espouse, and I do
~contraception
~prenatal care
~aftercare for women who have had botched abortions elsewhere
~maternity care
"What it means on the ground is this: A woman
who has AIDS comes to a clinic somewhere in
Africa or Asia. Drugs to prevent transmission
of the disease to newborn infants are not
available there. She desperately wants to avoid
bearing the child. But the doctor or nurse
cannot advise her on a safe, legal abortion if
the clinic wants to keep its American funds."
Will she have an AIDS baby, and hope, because she will love it, that she outlives the poor child? Or will she go for an abortion into the bush, and have it done with a dirty stick? |
