In reply to the discussion: Breaking: "First Degree Homicide Of The Unborn Child Bill" Passes CO House On Second Reading [View all]Pachamama
(17,565 posts)Yes, the original bill was much worse (as they always seem to be) but I believe putting it into context shows very clearly what the ultimate goal of these lbills are and of course to ultimately get in to law definitions such as "unborn members of Homo Sapiens" so that they are firmly codified into law and can thus eventually help criminalize any abortions and end the right of an abortion for women.
But I really am feeling that unless more and more women and men start speaking up for a woman's right to privacy and protections to her reproductive choices, we are going back to the days of back alley abortions and womens rights gone....as I mentioned in an earlier posting above "A Handmaids Tale" come true....
Finally, its no accident in my opinion that Birth Control has become front and center lately as an issue....Griswold v Connecticut was the case that Roe v Wade was based on with the 14th amendment and right of privacy argument. Since Griswold v Connecticut was based around birth control rights, the Pro-Zygote/Embryo Movement has decided that if you decimate Griswold v Connecticut and make Birth Control not a "right", then maybe they can undermine and weaken Roe v Wade. Its not coincidence that when modern birthcontrol in the form of the IUD and hormone therapy was available that women were able to start having more control over their lives and start getting more college degrees, Doctoral and Law degrees and moving into the legislatures and boardrooms. In the minds of these misogynistic chauvinist freaks who call us "sluts", this must be stopped.
I just am stunned beyond belief by this full assault against women going on....women and the men who respect and love them must stand up against this and fight hard....
