General Discussion

My heart goes out to this man and I can understand his thinking. When the right finishes with women in this country I image almost half of our population will feel this same way. Tying the hands of women, mandating them to unlimited mandatory pregnancy, eliminating their chances of higher education and careers, and denying them lifesaving medical care will force them to make these same heart wrenching drastic decisions. One thing we don’t talk about is what can happen to women who have baby after baby without time to recover between pregnancies. I’ve witnessed it in my own family. My sister in law lives in a rural poverty filled county. Her back woods religion mandates that she wear dresses, not cut her hair, refuse all forms of birth control and submit to her husband at his wishes. No refusal! She carried and delivered six children in nine years after which her uterus dropped through her vagina and between her legs. Surgery was required and at the time Medicaid supplied the necessary surgery. Fast forward 25 years to her daughter following in mother’s footsteps who had birthed four babies in almost as many years. To no surprise her body gave out and to her fright she found her organs hanging between her legs! Female bodies are not machines meant to crank out baby after baby without rest and repair. Will we close the hospital doors to these women in the future? The direction that we are headed is not sustainable.

Yes I know this post is about a man dying and the loss of his arm and his chance of surviving in our dystopian society. I am completely outraged by the heartless world millions survive in here. As well I am outraged at the lack of males speaking out and standing up for the hog tying of women and their future chance at survival here. This should not be an issue. Quality birth control and safe abortion should not be pawns in a man’s game.
