RW Religious & GOP Agenda Really About Regulating Sex And Sexuality Itself. Where Is The Open Outrag

[TheMastersNemesis]

If women really understood the ultimate agenda of the churches and GOP they would truly revolt. It is about American style sharia concerning reproductive choice and freedom. If you ban birth control, abortion and other forms of family planning you can regulated sexual activity in the end.

Unwanted pregnancy and STD's are punishment for illicit or unapproved sex. And such an agenda is aimed more at women then men. It is about stopping sex except in marriage. And such an agenda imprisons women socially. Of course, men will still fool around and play the field so to speak, but women will have to be wary because they will have few ways to avoid unwanted pregnancy outside of celibacy, abstinence or risking sexuality during safe times for them.

It is important to follow the logic on this matter. It is important to understand where things are progressing and NOT where thing are now. We are already seeing so many policies that would lead to a Taliban like regulation of sexuality itself. Women are now losing their freedom to control their bodies and destiny.

And wage inequality plays an important role in this nasty agenda. If a woman cannot make the same pay as men for the same job and women are held prisoner in lower paying jobs, they MUST HAVE A MAN to help support the family. Welfare reform plays a part in all of this madness as well. The meme that women should find man to support them instead of welfare or matching welfare recipients to eligible men are all part of this sexist agenda.

We are now in the 21st century but thanks to the churches the GOP is working as sending women back to the middle ages when it comes to status. Why there is not more open resistance and militancy over what the GOP is doing I do not know. NARAL and Planned Parenthood are being framed as communist or satanists plots. Yet these organizations are the only hope for women in the long run.

1. Agreed,

and I would add that it's an effective way to keep women out of the work place (and military), thus freeing up more jobs for men.

2. Straight folks delude themselves that it's 'just the LGBT' that the religious are targeting, but it

is not just us. Straight folks think it is safe for them to play with anti choice activists, anti gay bigots, they just do not get it, they are wrong headed and dangerous to others.

4. Terry Pratchett had it right in Small Gods

"And, as is generally the case around the time a prophet is expected, the Church redoubled its efforts to be holy. This was very much like the bustle you get in any large concern when the auditors are expected, but tended towards taking people suspected of being less holy and putting them to death in a hundred ingenious ways. This is considered a reliable barometer of the state of one's piety in most of the really popular religions. There's a tendency to declare that there is more backsliding around than in the national toboggan championships, that heresy must be torn out root and branch, and even arm and leg and eye and tongue, and that it's time to wipe the slate clean. Blood is generally considered very efficient for this purpose."
