\"ScreenAccording to a new pro-abortion group called Reproaction, women cannot be equal to men unless they have the right to abort their children. But how is this equality possible if men don\u2019t have this same supposed right to abort or to choose life for their children?<\/p>\n

Erin Matson (via bluejersey.com)<\/p><\/div>\n

According to their website<\/a>\u00a0(which is set to launch on August 19),\u00a0Reproaction, a group formed by Erin Matson\u00a0(pictured top right; an \u201corganizer and writer\u201d) and Pamela Merritt \u00a0(pictured bottom right; an \u201cactivist and writer\u201d), says they celebrate abortion as \u201ca great thing\u201d and believe that denying abortion to women is \u201can insult and unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n

The group says \u201cthe current state of abortion access \u2013 the closed clinics, financial barriers, insulting hurdles, baseless religious exemptions, and terrorism against providers \u2013 is a degrading, man-made humanitarian crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not being allowed to end the life of your own defenseless child is a degrading, man-made humanitarian crisis?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Pamela

Pamela Merritt (via riverfronttimes.com)<\/p><\/div>\n

Dear Reproaction, I think you\u2019re a bit confused about what qualifies\u00a0as a humanitarian crisis.<\/p>\n

The people in abortion clinics are literally ripping babies apart one limb at a time. They are literally disposing of viable preborn babies in medical waste bins. And they are literally suffocating babies that survive the abortion attempt.<\/p>\n

If there was ever a degrading way to die, it\u2019s abortion.<\/p>\n

If there was ever a man-made humanitarian crisis, it\u2019s abortion.<\/p>\n

Where is the equality in abortion? It further divides women from men, and it divides human from human.<\/p>\n

The preborn child has no equal rights\u00a0at all, despite\u00a0the fact that we can agree that, scientifically, the preborn child is a\u00a0human being (not a piece of tissue). Now that even Planned Parenthood can\u2019t deny that preborn babies are human beings, the only thing that stands in the way of preborn humans retaining their right to life is people like Matson and Merritt, who believe that preborn humans are simply human beings unworthy of the right to life mentioned\u00a0in the Constitution.<\/p>\n

Humans unworthy of life… where have we heard that before?<\/p>\n

But while we know abortion does not consider the equality of the preborn child, it does not grant women equality, either.\u00a0Abortion doesn\u2019t make women equal to men. It\u00a0is another way society holds women back. Nearly every reason a woman gives for having an abortion comes back to one thing:\u00a0she feels she isn’t good enough.<\/p>\n

Women are killing their\u00a0own children at a rate of nearly 3,000 a day<\/a>. And it\u2019s not because women\u00a0are liberated. It\u2019s not because they\u00a0are equal. It\u2019s because society tells women that they aren\u2019t enough. You can\u2019t be a mom and get a degree \u2013 abort. You can\u2019t be a single mom and raise a child without a man \u2013 abort. You can\u2019t keep a good job and be a mom \u2013 abort. \u00a0You can’t raise a child with special needs – abort. You can\u2019t. You can\u2019t. You can\u2019t. You are not good enough. You are not smart enough. You are not financially stable enough. You are too young.<\/p>\n

For women who fall victim to this mentality, abortion isn\u2019t a<\/em> choice, it\u2019s the only<\/em> choice. And that\u2019s no<\/em> choice at all<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Do men ever say:<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t get a degree and be a father\u201d?<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t become partner at my law firm if I have a baby\u201d?<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t reach my goals if I have a child\u201d?<\/p>\n

No, because women are still seen as the only people responsible for childrearing. Women are still seen as too weak to have children and careers. Women are still seen as less than men. And abortion is just another example of that. Abortion exemplifies sexism against women.<\/p>\n

And for liberal feminists to overlook that\u00a0is dumbfounding.<\/p>\n

In their\u00a0attempts to break through the glass ceiling, women have sacrificed their\u00a0own flesh and blood. They\u00a0have become so obsessed with being seen as equal that women actually view abortion as a gift instead of what it really is: their\u00a0undoing.<\/p>\n

And Reproaction is just another misguided pro-abortion group of women helping to bring women down<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
