Well, here I am almost 6 weeks after my first blog in quite awhile....so here we go to get back on track. I have so much to say and, it seems, so little time to say it in.
Today is the official anniversary of the legalization of abortion in the U.S.
As if there hasn't been enough said already by many and sundry people but I have to write something down about this Women's March on Washington. I am not sure what the goal was for the march other than awareness of women feeling as if they had been slighted, either financially, sexually, physically, etc. There seemed to be a lot of confusion as to the reasons and motives for marching but then again it gave many a reason to unite in an otherwise divided facade of a nation. Thank God we live in a nation whereby this is still permitted legally. If you think your rights are being violated talk to some women from other countries. I viewed a documentary film last weekend and I learned that in Amsterdam women are allowed to showcase their sexual wares in a store window atmosphere and those women many times are beaten and abused and most of the society just looks the other way. Now there's something to march about. Or how about our pornography industry in the U.S. where women, sometimes minors, are abused in an industry larger than the entertainment and movie industry combined. Another marching idea. A deplorable exploitation of women.
I watched and viewed some of the clips from the Women's March on Washington and what struck me were the men that were shouting....'her body, her choice'. I thought how sad...the reason they were shouting it is so they have no responsibility for being part of the problem. It takes two to make a child. It is your choice to do to your body what you wish but not to another. That's when the choice gets muddled.
Looking forward to the March for Life and all the media coverage it will get for the hundreds of thousands of people who will march on Washington DC on January 27th for the sake of the unborn...and they have been for 44 years.
