Abortion and birth control are OPPRESSIVE!

Think I’m crazy? Hang in there for a minute, and I’ll explain my reasoning.

If you are over 43,  contraceptives were actually ILLEGAL, for EVERYONE, single OR married, in the United States, during your lifetime, and had been before then. Then, in 2 separate rulings, the Supreme Court, in its infinite wisdom, struck down all laws against contraceptives. The first ruling, in 1965, Griswold v. Connecticut, held that laws against contraceptive use by married couples violated “marital privacy” and therefore were unconstitutional. In 1972, in Eisenstadt v. Baird, they ruled that, since married people had a Constitutional right to use contraceptives, it was a violation of the Constitutional “equal protection” clause to prohibit their use by UNmarried people.

Just think of how things were before 1965 for American girls who’d hit puberty, and American women. They could refuse sex with their boyfriend or husband, on the grounds that “I don’t want to get pregnant”. The more religiously minded or otherwise morally conservative among them could also refuse on the grounds that it was also against their morals. Women and girls could demand to NOT be treated as living sex toys, on those grounds, and “good girls” (the ones who said no and made it STICK) were highly sought-after as marriage partners by the more responsible, emotionally mature, self-controlled and successful  men.

 With the Supreme Court rulings, contraceptive use and development proliferated, and hit its apex in the “birth control pill”, which approached 99% in  effectiveness, better than any other birth control method except the word “no” (which is 100% effective, when heeded). Suddenly, womankind could avoid pregnancy altogether, for the first time in human history, just by taking pills every day. Women who were morally conservative or religious were then suddenly much less popular, as the women who had abstained from sex solely to avoid pregnancy took advantage of their “sexual liberation” and began going to bed with boys and men that weren’t their husbands, or even fiance’s. Times changed even more, and a woman’s morality could be turned against her. “If you won’t have sex with me, it’s OVER between us, I’ll find a girl who WILL”. If a woman didn’t WANT to take the pill, OR to have a baby out of wedlock, there were few boys or men who were interested in her. Television , popular novels, and the movies made sexual promiscuity by both sexes seem fun, exciting and beautiful, and if a gal didn’t go along with that, she was ostracized by the men. So, the pill, which started out as the great liberator of woman, became her oppressor, forcing upon her a sexual “liberation” that was actually a “liberation” for the MEN, freeing them from having to be grown up in their relationships with women, allowing them to be permanently teenage, thinking from their crotches, choosing wives and girlfriends based on their “sexiness”, and on their performance in bed, and on little else. Adultery is now a commonplace, sexually-transmitted diseases sterilize and kill and cause permanent pain and suffering. Pornography is universally accessible, and further indoctrinates men that women WANT to be treated like sex toys, and the birth control pill provides men with the opportunity to live out their pornographic fantasies without the inconvenience of fathering a baby and ruining his lover’s sexy shape.

Abortion, touted as a woman’s Constitutional “right to choose”, has become another oppression. For most women getting abortions these days, the “choice” was made by someone ELSE, and the pregnant women themselves WANTED the baby. The woman, most of the time, submits to the barbarity of an abortion because the person she depended on the most, her husband, her father, her grandmother, whoever, demanded that she get an abortion, or if not, she would lose the support of that person. Rather than be abandoned with a baby, she goes ahead with an unwanted abortion.

Sometimes an idea that seems like a good one DOES have unintended consequences. The ideas on contraceptives and abortion that the Supreme Court came up with , with their “emanations and penumbras”(or flatus, as doctors call it), have had DEVASTATING consequences that might have been foreseen if the Supremes had but thought for ten minutes ABOUT possible negative consequences. As it is, these rulings have torn brutally at the fabric of our civilization.

Why I would be unfit to be President

1. I don’t take BAD advice, not even when it comes from movie stars, prominent feminists , billionaires,Oprah Winfrey and pals, or “elder statesmen”.

2.I want to do the right thing, and take whatever the consequences might be. If the truth is an ugly one, and might lose me the election, SO BE IT.

3. I am hopelessly pro-life. I have  a son who was born with a brain anomaly, and raised him. I am worlds away from perfect. If I can do it, ANYONE with average intelligence and a desire to, can do the same. Adoption is an option, if an unborn is found to be disabled some way, if  Mommy feels SURE she can’t “handle it”, or get help, either, but abortion should NOT be thought of as an option. So often, it is a “choice” that is FORCED upon a pregnant girl or woman by her angry boyfriend or parents or husband, whoever it is that she sees as her primary emotional support. The only “choice” she often has is between abortion and REJECTION by  the one that “loves” her.

Pregnancy is 9 months, abortion is FOREVER. A woman should not have to RAISE a child she does not want, but once she has consented to sex, she should realize that if a pregnancy results, there is a PERSON, NOT a “part of her body”, growing inside her, and that her inconvenience (or her boyfriend’s or mother’s) is insufficient reason to KILL that person. She DOES have EVERY right to GIVE THE BABY UP once it is born, but that nine months is what she pays for unprotected “fun”. An abortion is a VERY serious matter. I would only agree to it for incest or rape if such a crime was already reported to the police, and there was some EVIDENCE, NOT just “her word for it”, and even then, NOT if the pregnancy were past 3 months. It is also a little-known fact that only rarely does a rape result in a pregnancy. Also, it is a carefully-hidden truth that abortions are actually medically risky, that every year, thousands of women die or are permanently unable to bear children due to botched abortions, the INEVITABLE damage to the cervix from opening it while it is  ”green”,or infections arising from an abortion. Pregnancy and delivery is actually SAFER, especially for adolescent girls, though abstinence would be safer still, for ANY female of reproductive age.

These are truths that too many people not only refuse to face, but actively try to keep from the uninformed. I’d be a target for all segments of the abortion industry and lobby over TELLING!

4.I think that less government is better, and more personal involvement in the lives of our friends, family, coworkers, fellow believers, neighbors and relatives works better for EVERYTHING than almost ANY government program. A MUCH smaller federal government, that is structured along strict Constitutional lines, would need much less taxpayers’ money, and that would be like a large, permanent raise for every current taxpayer in America, and greater prosperity for future generations. To achieve that, practically all current federal agencies would have to be abolished,which would put many thousands of inefficient bureaucrats out of work, but the increase in money available in the economy would mean that those workers could be absorbed into the CIVILIAN workforce.

Still, that “loss of federal jobs” thing would have the civil service unionists howling for my head, and the professional lobbyists would be working overtime to block that from ever happening, if they could. They’d find out that I shot a goat once, and would blow that all out of proportion, and I’d be impeached, on the assumption that the dead goat (shot once in the mouth)  was a registered Democrat.

5.  I stopped drinking alcohol completely at age 11(having only had a couple of beers and a sip of champagne before then), and have NEVER smoked or even TRIED drugs. I am a recovering “Coke”-aholic, but that would be deemed insufficient “experience”. Further, I have been to bed with exactly 2 men, my former and current husbands. Finally, I have only bet $1 in my whole life, at a booth at the New York state fair, in my teens. Several years ago, I spent several hours inside a casino in New Jersey with my then-husband, then slept on our friend’s yacht, which was docked just outside it, and gambled NOTHING. People would think I’m too much of a….well, my lack of experience in the popular vices would be a liability. If you can’t trust someone who doesn’t drink, you could never trust ME.

6. I’m white,female, and conservative, and a believer in the Constitution as the founding document of this, the greatest country on God’s green earth, as Michael Medved so aptly calls it. I have 7 kids, 6 grown,  by my first husband, plus another 7, all grown, that are as dear to me as my own, that grew up with my current husband. Worse even than Sarah Palin,what a HUGE carbon footprint! Yes, and I MOVED 16 times, the last time,from New York to Washington State. And ALWAYS by CAR! The treehugger lobby would be VERY unhappy with such a fertile Myrtle and highly experienced automobile driver in the White House.

I can ride a horse, too, though.

 I never finished college. I read, voraciously. I SEE things. I KNOW things. I REMEMBER things. I have some familiarity with history, with the history of the Communist and Islamist movements, the Nazi movement, the anti-slavery movement, the Ku Klux Klan movement. So I’d tend to make decisions and policies based on HISTORY and FACTS and the LONG TERM GOOD OF MY COUNTRY, rather than on political expediency, or what “our allies” are thinking, saying or doing.

7. I have a VERY strong Christian belief, and also believe VERY strongly that EVERYONE has a God-given right to believe what they want, or even be an atheist or agnostic, if they think they want to. I believe, just as strongly, that “your right to swing your fist ends where the other person’s nose begins”. I will not even PRETEND to accept militant activists from ANY group trying to force their beliefs on others. I will not stand still for ANY special interest group using the schools as indoctrination centers for their agendas. We can’t teach Christianity in the schools? FINE. If that is so, then we  must not teach homosexuality, ANY sexuality,environmentalism, Islam, “diversity”, or any OTHER “ism” or belief system that favors ONE point of view over all the OTHERS. Every PERSON deserves some respect,just for EXISTING,but not all IDEA SYSTEMS do. Trying to advance one’s ideas by force-feeding them to “young skulls full of mush” (Rush Limbaugh’s take on “students”) that are OTHER people’s kids is a moral crime. Believing that would be certain to get me into someone’s bad graces.

8.  Mohammed wrote in the Koran that Allah wants everyone in the world to become converts to Islam, or to be killed by the Moslems, or, at the very least, to be fiercely oppressed, be deprived of ALL rights, and persecuted by the Moslems until they convert. This is codified in Sharia law.

Few Moslems actually participate in the killing of “infidels”, but a billion or so non-killing Moslems help to finance them through contributing to Moslem “charities”, some of which (no Western expert knows how many) directly finance terrorism. Conveniently for the Islamofascist terrorists ,Mohammed said that contributing to Moslem charities was one of the basic requirements of Islam, so the vast majority of practicing Moslems DO contribute, and there is an unending river of money going to finance the slaughter of civilians, some of whom are themselves Moslem, of the “wrong” sect. This is NOT politically correct to talk about, but I would remember it, and act upon it,  as President. I would work to have Islam redefined in our laws as a totalitarian social movement rather than a religion, since that is what it acts like. Moslems who wanted to work in sabotage-sensitive areas like airports would have to be both legally here, and pass a VERY thorough background check by the INS. (Perhaps some Christian Arabs could be recruited to do the required English translation of Arab documents.) The applicant would be expected to pay for the actual cost of the investigation, and if they passed it, and remained crime-free for 10 years, the amount would be refunded to them over a period of 5 years. Moslems already in such places of work would be subject to it too. All Moslems of terrorist background would be immediately fingerprinted, deported to their country of origin as undesirables, and barred from returning. If they have family here that they are supporting, their family goes with them.With a policy like that, I would probably have enough trouble with CAIR that I would be forced to deport its officers as undesirable aliens under the Alien Sedition Act. Their lapdogs in Congress and the press would have a field day over THAT.

These are the reasons why I’d make a poor President.
