of the Day – Right to Life Hypocrisy
Quotes
of the Day:
“I would rather be known in life as an
honest sinner, than a lying hypocrite…
“I am very cautious of people whose actions
don’t match their words” Alex Elle
“It is easier to fight for principles than
live up to them.” Alfred Adler
The streets of Ann Arbor Michigan are
filled with right to life protesters. I was thinking about making a poster sign
to join them, but what I want to say is much too long to fit on a poster
sign.
I want to be respectful of other people’s
beliefs so I want to pose this more as questions and suggestions than a
criticism.
What I don’t understand about the right to
life movement is the title of the movement. When I see the term “Right to Life”
in my menopausal mind this term would mean an all-inclusive respect for all
human (animal?) (Plants?) life on this planet.
To simplify what I am pondering is how can
we have a group of people who claim to believe in a “Right to Life” when there
are hundreds of thousands of children in orphanages, foster care, in poverty
not only in the United States but around the world who need a family, love,
food, and or shelter.
I don’t understand why you are not
protesting at adoption agencies. Did I miss something? I don’t recall you joining
forces with the Black Lives Matter movement when innocent people of color were
being slain in the streets. I don’t see you protesting against war, or building
a wall to keep Muslims and other ethnicities out of the United States. Do you
really mean a right to life for all humans or humans of a certain color, age, or
who live in a certain geographical location?
Is this really about the well-being and
long-term care of the unborn baby – or controlling, judging, and manipulating
the conditions, circumstances, and long-term options for the woman? Do you
really care about either?
My question to any person who professes to
be a right to lifer is: Why are you more concerned about an unborn fetus (if
you want to call it a baby… fine let’s not fight over words) coming to this
planet—than fighting to improve the conditions of the millions of babies and
families already living here?
Maybe I missed it-- but are you fighting for
free childcare, a mother / father having 6-9 months of paid maternity time from
work after having a baby like other civilized countries; free universal healthcare
for all citizens, free college education for anyone who wants to attend. Are
you for or against the death penalty or do those people not deserve the right
to life?
Do you believe that once a person makes a
mistake on planet earth, their life has no more value? Therefore, let’s not
even begin to discuss improving the conditions of our penal system that lock up
of one third of men of color.
Are you only concerned about certain people
having children or all children no matter what race, religion, or ethnicity
they are? Are you just interested in them being born, but what happens to them
after they get here is none of your concern or business? If that’s the case,
okay—at least you are not a hypocrite. I can respect this.
I have a suggestion that may help you get a
lot more people on your side, instead of just protesting in front of Planned
Parenthood and abortion clinics, I think you should protest in front of
adoption agencies, poor dilapidated schools, and countries where children are
dying from the aftermaths of war. Don’t forget to march with women who do not
want to have their vagina’s groped, or have their loved ones slain in the
streets by the people who are supposed to protect them, and the people who are
fleeing from other countries for a better life.

Quotes Practical Application
1.
Listen, I am a sinner. I am a hot mess. I just
don’t want to tell other people what to do with their bodies. I don’t want to
tell people who they should love, what they should wear, or what they should
believe in for consenting adults—unless I am willing to help them with more
than lip service.
2.
Maybe we should all be honest about what we
believe in—including the boundaries and applications of our proposed beliefs. I
believe that if we as a human society does not want to provide humane treatment
and sincere rehabilitation to our prisoners—it would be more compassionate to
kill them than take away their rights to vote and have them work for 25 cents
an hour in prison. And worst of all—when they get out of prison we stamp felon
on their records so that a background check can prevent them from getting a
decent job. Unfortunately, their real Life sentence starts when they get out of
prison.
3.
Sometimes we need to change what we are fighting
against, so that we can get what it is we truly want—what we are truly fighting
for. If we made the world, a more peaceful, loving, place filled with abundance
and prosperity for all—more women would want to keep their babies. There is
always more than one way to skin a cat.
