Initiative 26 would give legal status to a new fertilized egg - and deprive women of any right to contraception and abortion
Growing up, my half-sister and I are separated - I, with my mother in Chicago, she, with our father in Memphis. A road connects the cities that I have installed many times. It seems harmless, mostly covered with corn, but I always knew that divides the two worlds.
For example, when my sister graduated from high school, instead of parting was shared between the two women with the highest average male and the first two. The school - a private school, Christian - took a picture to commemorate this. My sister was one of the winners, but when I showed the photo, it was the only girl in it. When I asked why, he laughed and said the other girl was pregnant and was not allowed in it.
Women disappear a lot lately, because their needs are degraded by the Conservatives who believe that no such needs as the needs of the "good girls". Several states have recently voted to eliminate or reduce funding for Planned Parenthood, which provides birth control and comprehensive sex education for women, something that would have authorized partner of my sister. Chances are any "sex education" which received only promotes marriage and abstinence. It is clear that these lessons will not cut it.
women's advocates are unfortunately accustomed to these attacks, despite a new amendment, which is decided by the voters in Mississippi Tuesday, an innovator in the marginalization of women and their needs. If approved, Initiative 26, or the "one amendment," it appears that the fertilized egg a "person" with all legal rights. This not only abortion outlawed, but the birth control pill the irony of the day and, of all ironies, the IVF. But most telling, it could prohibit a doctor to save a woman's life if it meant causing the destruction of a fertilized egg inside. In the eyes of the law, women in the operating table is not important. It disappeared.
This does not occur in a country that values ??women. No wonder the Mississippi to 49 years in the annual income of women and the percentage of women with at least four years of college. More women living in poverty in the state of any part of America. Inequality is like a cancer - if left untreated, spreading
conservatives are very good, however, cover discrimination on the good manners to talk about love, God and tradition. They are black in Jim Crow, and now they are for women. They want you to believe that this initiative, they are to protect the most vulnerable among us to defend a good and moral life. But if that's what it really is, I suggest you put an initiative on the ballot next requires parents to pony up a lung if your child needs a transplant, or at least force them out smoking around their children. Something tells me that would not pass the test with most supporters of the Tea Party.
- the
- most important moment of their lives - when they decide to become mothers. After all, I think of any other individual decision that has such a dramatic impact on the economic and social situation of women. The wage gap between working mothers and working women without children is higher than the wage gap between men and women.
- the "personality change" message is that "good girls" do not have a life free of sexual reproduction - if women want them to be willing to sacrifice an education, a good career and peace of mind. If you choose a child - under any circumstances - which are becoming more pronounced shameless, selfish, even criminal. If passed this law, a woman who aborts may have to undergo a criminal investigation to ensure that the error was not his fault. Someone needs to tell the Republicans that love is not within the definition of one.
the contrary, it is time to come back stronger. Beaten by the right and economically linked, groups of women have done an admirable job over the last decade. But we must be frank. We need to remind Americans what was for their mothers and grandmothers before the abortion and contraception became legal. And we should let the country know that they want the same things for ourselves. We do not want to hide. Or fly to Puerto Rico. Or disappear in a shower room with a fake doctor. We do not want these things for our girls, either.
