Whenever I pass the abortion clinic, it never fails that there are a group of mostly men standing outside with signs and pictures. They must be under the assumption that women owe them and their brutal American history a continued existence. I disagree.
That the church would dictate concerning this issue means no more to me than a typical farmer working to maximize their animals production. The real victims today are the children being bullied to death or killing themselves for not wanting to go along with the program.Â
As I look back over my own life, I reflect on the sad fact that I wasn't given an option by my mother about choosing for myself what it meant to be a woman.Â
I was taught to shave and be pretty, but its a lie because I'm hairy. I dont particularly feel it a point of shame either.Â
What I do find shameful though is that despite all our words and technology, neither most parents nor the church have the courage to admit that we make stuff have sex so that we can have something to eat. Instead we hide it away in the dark in despicable conditions.Â
However, if we are courageous enough to face that life is as hideous as it is beautiful, maybe we can put 2 and 2 together, and the veil can start to come down. I don't want to have to live a lie to survive, and I cant expect other people to either. So rock on my purple shirted warriors cause you're showing me what courage is, and thats the truth.
