Reply #24: why would i want the "opportunity to compromise my beliefs", [View All]

[bettyellen]

My beliefs are shared by a lot of of people, and they are not going anywhere or becoming compromised to pander to people who want us to live in the outmoded patriarchal model society of man women married + as many babies as god gives you. Women are not about to pay lip service to that nonsense after two generations of choice.
Either you believe in sexual and reproductive freedom or you don't. Bush will not support it, did you read about this anywhere lately? We are the only country who is not supporting a global initiative and end to poverty and AIDS much in the ways you described above. Why? Bush says we won't support sexual freedom, the former "cuntsman" now "believes" everybody should get married. That's the party line, and exactly how do you see a compromise coming with that archaic mind set?
Wake up. it's not up for negotiation.
You don't understand their complete intolerance on this issue at all or that fact that these same people hate the idea of a "govt handout" to help lift people out of poverty. The main attitude floating around is mainly fuck you, you should have kept your legs closed girl , so now you and your baby can starve cause you should have thought of that beforehand, not that we want you to think or know about birth control, because then you might have sex and get away with it. You are kidding yourself that you have their ear at all after you tell the part about money going to urban gynecologists. They are marginalizing the field women's reproductive health because they believe good virgins/ wives will hardly need it. No AIDS, no unwanted babies, no worries.
I'd be willing to guess you are either a man, who agrees with abortion in theory only, or really conflicted about it yourself. Fair enough. but you are talking about people who actually care about this paying lip service to narrow minded, liberal/ minority hating group (who have ignored your old argument for years) and it won't work because the compassionate part of compassionate conservative is complete bullshit. They stop listening after the first part, and will feel like they are paying heathens to have sex w/out consequences. Oh, they want the consequences there alright, don't kid yourself.
My standards, my needs and desires, yeah, they get compromised. My beliefs? That's just impossible. Perhaps it's not really one of your own beliefs.
