We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal…
I’m tired of men arguing about women’s bodies, health, etc. as if it is theirs to control. Hearing the President argue for comprehensive health insurance coverage, and the GOP leaders argue against it leaves the involved people – Women – out of the coversation.
Women should have access to birth control, and the Catholic Bishops are simply hiding their patriarchy under their vestments, and hoping no one lifts them. It’s not a religious issue, it’s not a first amendment issue, it’s a power/dominance issue. And for all the “get government out of our lives” rhetoric, conservatives are hypocritically very comfortable extending that government into uteruses across the country.
This is thought-provoking, esp. if you’re a woman. To the author of this post, I say “right on”! MATRIARCHAL societies have historically been peaceful, benevolant, egalitarian, earth-friendly & earth nurturing, and the FEMALE council of elders would discuss & vote on whether or not to send their male warriors into battle, because they knew the high cost and repercussions of bloodshed, both on people and the land. Nothing against men in general, but we WOMEN need to take back our rightful places of authoritative wisdom, leadership, and collborative powers to heal ourselves, each other and GAIA (better known a Earth.)
