I have been dealing with a difficulty that arose and so had not returned to see the strong statements of understanding that (1) woman's body means it is her choice and hers alone (2) she does not need the help of white male politicians to decide what is best for her (3) no apology will be given (4) that these people are forced BIRTHERS absolutely determined to subjugate women and neither women nor the allies of women are going to stand for it (5) if you want to have a religion, that's on you but your religion has no place in a woman's decisions about her health care (6) your religion does not determine when life begins for anybody but you
Regarding the normal religious attempt to draw a universal conclusion from the fetus in the womb of Elizabeth jumping when in the presence of pregnant Mary
[My understanding is that these people base their faith that from the moment an egg is fertilized, there is life is based primarily or exclusively on this passage -
Far be it for me to tell them about their texts but ]
It says that the creature in her womb the only Bibles I have are in Spanish) jumped and Elizabeth was full of the Holy Spirit... Because as soon as the voice of greeting reached my ears the creature jumped out of joy in my womb
It seems preposterous to come to the conclusion that from the moment an egg is fertilized, we have a live baby based upon that passage
It seems a rather odd conclusion that likely was a kick which is common
you must also believe that all fertilized eggs can have joy which in the Bible does not mean merely happy but rather a deep-seated choice to focus on the eternal and your spiritual blessings even in difficult times
[to back this- Paul wrote the book of Phillipians from prison in Rome and it is called the book of joy because joy or some form or cognate of it is found once every 7.5 verses and Paul clearly was not in the most pleasant of circumstances]
therefore, you are attributing the ability to do all this to every single fertilized egg and this includes abstract thought and philosophy
You have removed what is supposed to be special about Elizabeth, Mary, John the Baptist, and Jesus Christ and made it common and why ? So you can subjugate women .
For reasons I have already shared many times before, I have many people who are Facebook friends and who are fundamentalists and who oppose everything I hold dear. They attack women's bodily autonomy and especially in the the third trimester. This is my rant in response to their anti women trash.
.
I AM PRO CHOICE IN THE THIRD SEMESTER WITHOUT APOLOGY. I AM PRO WOMAN. I AM AGAINST TRYING TO SUBJUGATE WOMAN. I AM AGAINST WHITE MALE POLITICIANS INVADING THE PRIVACY AND SANCTITY OF A WOMAN WITH HER DOCTOR AND THESE WHITE MALE POLITICIANS DON'T THINK WOMEN CAN BE TRUSTED TO MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS ABOUT WHAT IS BEST FOR THEM.
I JUST HAVE TO WONDER IF THOSE BIG FORCED BIRTHERS WHO WANT TO FORCE THAT TEN YEAR OLD TO GIVE BIRTH WHETHER IT KILLS HER OR NOT HAVE DEVOTED EVEN TEN SECONDS TO THINKING ABOUT THEIR POSITION OR TALKED TO AN EDUCATED ADULT ABOUT THIS????
THE, FORGIVE ME, STUPIDITY INVOLVED HERE IS ABSOLUTELY ENORMOUS.
HAVE THESE PEOPLE EVEN BEGUN TO CONSIDER ALL THAT IS INVOLVED IN GETTING TO THE SEVENTH, EIGHTH, AND NINTH MONTH OF PREGNANCY??????
NOBODY RATIONAL, NOBODY IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD ENDURE AND GO THROUGH ALL THAT IS REQUIRED IN ORDER TO GET TO THE SEVENTH, EIGHTH, AND NINTH MONTH OF PREGNANCY IF THEY WERE NOT 100% COMMITTED TO DELIVERING A BABY!!!
HOW, HOW IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS HOLY AND RATIONAL, HOW IN THE NAME OF GOD, DOES ANYBODY WITH MORE THAN A FIFTH GRADE EDUCATION WITH EVEN A MODICUM OF INTELLIGENCE AND HONESTY NOT FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT AND CONCLUDE THAT IN 99+% OF THE ABORTIONS PERFORMED IN THE LAST TRIMESTER, SOMETHING WENT DRAMATICALLY WRONG AND LIKELY ENDANGERED THE LIFE OR HEALTH OF THE MOTHER, THE FETUS, OR BOTH???
HOW DO YOU NOT GET THAT???
ARE PEOPLE JUST DISHONEST OR DO THEY SIMPLY NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT WHAT THEY SAY OR DO THEY JUST NOT TRUST OR SUPPORT WOMEN ?
1. The woman and or her partner likely have to spend possibly TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS to get to that point.
2. The woman has to go through many visits with her doctor.
3. She probably will have to reduce the hours she works and then stop working for some time. This costs her money.
4. She now may have to change her social life especially if she would be a first time mom ( in my understandings although most women who have abortions already have children ) . She will be more isolated from adult company. She won't be able to go out and drink or feel like going out.
5. She will likely be going through a tremendous emotional upheaval. Her emotions are likely to experience extremes. The incredible reality that she has a fetus within her and could give birth to a baby but also loneliness and fear and other emotions may be present.
6. Physically, her body is going to go through a tremendous amount of changes and challenges. She won't feel attractive. She may feel sluggish. She won't sleep well. She may have nausea or even vomit frequently. She will be incredibly uncomfortable!
7. She (and her partner) likely will begin preparing for a baby to enter into their lives by setting aside a room, arranging it, decorating it, deciding how they will deal with sleeping, and begin getting clothing and diapers.
AGAIN, WHY WOULD YOU BELIEVE THAT A WOMAN WOULD GO THROUGH ALL OF THIS AND THEN BASED UPON NOTHING BUT A TEMPORARY EPHEMERAL LIGHTLY MADE CHOICE CHOOSE TO END THE PREGNANCY???
In the real world, women who have abortions performed in the seventh, eighth, and ninth month almost always have found major medical issues that threaten the health or life of the pregnant person or their fetus or both.6
