Don't pretend you don't know what I am talking about... Since 2015, there have been more blatant assaults, as well as retraction of rights to women and minorities, than has been seen since the war fought for Civil Rights! At least when McCarthy was trying to disrupt America, they were claiming everybody were communists--which was not based upon color of skin so could not be proven one way or another! When they decided Japanese American citizens were a threat, at least they allowed them to stay in America, holding them in camps... But, let's face it, right from the start, white men came in from across the seas and decided to ensure the natives would NOT be a problem--they would force them to either be killed in wars or forced to become Christians... And, oh yes, remember way back when the Crusaders were out there traveling across the world known at that time--they also gave orders--become Christians or... Many from Spain can tell stories about their ancestors...
Isn't it about time to really think about who is doing what, supposedly, in the name of "religion"?
Let's face it, Jesus died for All of Us... Yet, a majority, or the very vocal minority, have chosen to continue in the old ways... Rules were established by which sinners could be identified and forced to seek forgiveness. Even a bite of a non-acceptable food was regarded as something which must be forgiven by God Himself...
I don't profess to be a student of all history. But I have read many books where women were abused, murdered, raped, and lied to by men, even within the churches...
Now let's get specific about health in general, and women in particular...
Right now we have an epidemic spreading across the nation and possibly the world, of a disease that had been contained--Measles! We get one guy placed in the appropriate position in government--an anti-vaxer and we see children start to die...and others in the worst cases that have been seen for decades... Will his trip to Texas result in any meaningful actions... like getting shots to every child within those states now infected? Now he's starting talking about fluoride for children...This man has NO medical training!
Then we also watched that, after Roe was overthrown by the Supreme Court controlled republican base, that women started to die in childbirth due to complications which were routinely being cared for in the past, but which have been banned in every single way thinkable so that even doctors can be jailed! Are pregnant women, unable to get needed medical assistance, going to have to once again use clothes hangers from the dark ages trying to get out a part of a child, which has not been able to have medical assistance, and cannot be removed due to new laws under republicans that are so draconian that we have gone back before the 1900s?!? Case after case has been publicized--it doesn't matter to any republican now in Congress!
Planned Parenthood has been defunded and banned... Recently a Resolution has been placed before the republican-controlled House by the party who cares nothing about women... Read it and you will see that they will be funding with OUR dollars the creation of those faith-based organizations who will ensure that no abortions, even those medically declared mandatory for the safety of the mother, will be performed... No, the resolution doesn't say so, but we've already seen how they've been handling problems after the overturn of Roe. Can we honestly believe that God wants a baby that will not live beyond birth to be given priority over the life of the mother?
You know, folks, I once read a book about this type of support facility. It was well written and, indeed, showed the young girl deciding to have her baby. Believe me, this is not the issue in the minds of most women. In fact, statistics show that the majority of women are pro-choice not because of wanting abortions, but rather to ensure that women are taken care of during routine medical and pregnancy issues and are not prevented from getting appropriate care, even if it turns out to be what is called an abortion, which is a normal routine procedure that is done when the life of the mother is at stake...
There are as many reasons as there are women in the world that is involved in making medical decisions related to becoming pregnant, yes, becoming pregnant. Right now, there are plans for eliminating the pill as a contraceptive method... and taking some medications off the shelf completely. Folks, I come from two families, both of which had 13 children which included by mother and father... That would have been about 100 years ago! Do we really want to go back to a time where women are forced to have a child every time her huaband wants to have sex? Or, do we really think that men would abstain to ensure their wives would not have to endure having 13 or more children based upon their sexual appetites? And we all know, already, that the average number of children that a set of parents can afford is no where near 13 or more.
And let's not even go into incest during this particular discussion...
And, face it, teens get pregnant more often because of pressure from their boyfriends, who then refuse to take responsibility for the pregnancy, than for fear of pregnancy... It is quite obvious that we know that the Special Victims Unit Law and Order has stayed on television for so many years--because rapes and more keep happening!
Or will men be allowed to continue to have methods by which they can have all the sex they want as long as the female doesn't stop pregnancies? You know, you really can't have it both ways... Remember that the Bible cuts off the story of one of King David's daughters who was raped by her brother. We who read that story never know if she got pregnant and what happened to that child. Of course, that was at a time when harems existed, kings stole town women, multiple wives for the rich, and many female slaves to handle household chores including child care. But for that girl, it meant that, according to her religion, she would no longer be suitable for marriage...
But Jesus tells us that Love is the key point of decisions on anything, followed by Truth... Let's take one look at the action which was planned for the next step on the Resolution... It was being referred to Commerce!!!
Why not to Health and Human Services, you might ask... Well, because in the minds of Project 2025 male leaders, it is probably a financial matter first, more than a wellness issue...? Specifically, if you are going to set up clinics or homes for pregnant girls/women who you convince to have every single baby that is fertilized by the males across the nation, to take care of all the babies to be born by "mandate," then that's going to cost a bundle for child care, which previously was never funded by republicans... Most parents cannot deal with total costs these days without assistance!
Oh, and what about the children who are born with a disability, after the mother was forced to birth each child... Does the government plan to take care of those, especially when the parents are poor and had tried not to have another child because they can barely feed the kids they already have? Will the government take responsibility for every disabled child born under the no-abortion law? Or will additional starving children have to be subsidized by public assistance? Or charitable organizations? Not like present government officials, who don't care? We can't even get republicans to support strong gun control, even though children--who are born--can often be murdered by gun! Now that's a contradiction for another opinion piece!
You know when a group of men, and independently wealthy women, decide that they know best how to run every part of each and every individual's life, while also firing them from their jobs if "king" doesn't like them, or wants to send them out of the country to live, well... Considering that the government, using our dollars paid $6M to have the last group of immigrants returned to South America's prison... we could be making other countries rich in the future since none of these disabled children would be allowed to stay within the sight of the "king." We already know he wanted his own nephew to allow his great-nephew to die rather than keep him alive as a disabled "relative..." (see book by Fred Trump) Or will those sent out of the country merely be executed at the cost of $6M... After all, executioners want to be rich too! And it's cheapter to murder than to feed those in prison, right?
I have purposely allowed myself to roar with sarcasm because the present administration has NO idea what they are doing! And you can be sure that people will suffer in one way or another unless something major happens!
