Don't be fooled

Some folks in the Bay Area don't like that people are marching for life this month at the 2nd annual West Coast March for Life in San Francisco. Well, that's putting it mildly. They're planning to disrupt it, through civil disobedience, which apparently may include (as demonstrated last year by more than a few counter protesters) ripping up signs, spitting on marchers, yelling obscenities, and throwing the occasional bag of condoms. I really hope they're peaceful, and I hope that the pro-life marchers also maintain civility -- we're all human, after all. These folks have a right to counter protest, but they should also realize that for us, this type of reaction means that what we believe is the true fight for women is having an effect, and we won't be giving up. The article is pretty silly.

The Walk for Life also shrouds itself in feminist rhetoric. Co-sponsors Feminists for Life are supporting a reform (criminalizing abortion and women's reproductive rights) that will do nothing but harm women.

Funny, the early american feminists contributed to abortion being made illegal to begin with because they believed that abortion oppressed women and their children. And legal abortion has given boyfriends, husbands, employers, and schools justification in discriminating against women who have children. A woman can no longer function in society as a woman unless she denies her fundamental femininity, her fertility, and her motherhood. No, we want social change. We want employers to recognize the fact that women have children and to honor that. We want schools to recognize that some students may be mothers and also would like to get an education without being told that children will ruin their lives. We want accountability for men who refuse to accept the responsibility for something they contributed to. And, fundamentally, we want society to value all human life and not treat it like trash that can be thrown out.

They are walking hand in hand with the elites who enforce discriminate against women in the workplace and push socially destructive and sexist body and sexual standards...

A society that refers to genocide as socially constructive is a society that is destroying itself from within.
