Pro Life

Is Not Just For Men



We need to change the terminology and reframe the debate- really. We have all been saying so. The terms speak code of another dimension and are sometimes not helpful.

Everyone is "Pro-Life" under their definition of life. If you ask anyone whether they 'favor' 'abortion' of course everyone will say, of course not- others think the term should be used comprehensively and consistently- you must be against the death penalty if you are pro-life some say. Don't get me started on 'unjust war.'

Most people see a need to dramatically reduce abortions and will say so in political circles of all parties.
"Choice" is meant when people say that it should be the woman who houses the fetus not the government deciding whether the house is safe- or telling her what to do with it-or not. Whether she lets it be to full blown full grown humanhood or whether she snuffs it out, puts a foreclosure sign on her womb and evicts it.


But don't we all agree on some basic things. If we all agree it is something we want to deter and avoid, shouldn't we be focusing on the most Life inspiring, most Life producing methods of deterrence. Aren't we really talking about solutions and deterrence.
Is it the most deterrent to just criminalize only women. Of course not. Women have the ability/power to do what they want with their bodies even if you criminalize some actions. If a woman does not want to carry a child, believe me she won't. She will take a bottle of sleeping pills with a bottle of vodka and go for a permenant bubble bath to permenant purgatory which she views as better than the hell on earth. (You don't know if you haven't been there-i haven't either but I am told.)


Isn't there a Pro -Life more effective way than just criminalizing women (the old system that has been judicially overruled) that is more Pro-Life or Life Producing. Isn't there something we should be studying regarding male sexuality that has been completely ignored from a policy perspective?


Should we change the terminology and call ourselves LIFE PRODUCING rather than PRO LIFE?


Can we create a third way that does not lock us into rhetoric that polarizes that move us into thinking solutions that are in fact, real life generating from a policy perspective. Life is not just for men. Women's lives count-and have to because if the mother is not healthy how healthy (emotionally, spiritually, physically) do you think her child will be? How healthy is a fetus in a dead woman's womb?
