DLL,
Abortion is much too important a subject to drop in a few sentences.
It is the paramount example of how SOME men(the dogmatic,self-righteous ones) use a double standard for judging men & women.
Do you feel as outraged with men who fail to use self control & impregnate a woman, then abandon her. Men have been doing this to women since the beginning of time. Are you incensed? My god is incensed.
My god knew exactly what he was doing when he assigned women the task of giving life. He knows that not all situations are black and white. Sometimes a woman already has more children than she can raise in a proper manner without forfeiting the quality of life for her already living children and herself. Sometimes a woman knows she will be an unfit mother and has the wisdom not to become one. Now, the self-righteous will say, "why doesn't she give it up for adoption." Sometimes she does, other times it's is not the answer.
Are you furious at the men who have a family and then when they reach 40,50 or whatever age they start to feel "aged" decide that a younger woman will be the answer to their graying or thinning hair, failing eyes. Many men can walk out on those children & his wife with the same ease of turning in their older car for the latest model.
Are you filled with anger at these men, and just as convinced they are wrong as the women you've judged so severely?
Have a nice weekend.
