We women have been ranting endlessly since the draft of the Supreme Court decision that will almost certainly become final next month reversing the long-standing Roe v Wade was leaked. I’ve done my share of ranting, and I ain’t done yet! But when a man is as passionate on the issue as we women are, I sit up and take notice! Our friend rawgod posted this earlier today and I think it deserves a wider audience. Thank you, rg, for your passionate defense of women’s rights!
The following is a comment (slightly altered) I just sent to a woman who wants to see Roe vs Wade repealed. She thinks women should not have a choice to abort a fetus, because to her, the (potential) life of a fetus is more important than the life of the woman carrying that fetus. We were carrying on a written conversation when I had a kind of epiphany. I had heard people saying RvW is more important than just the right to choose. It has deeper implications. Then, in an instant, I saw what repealing RvW really meant. Here is my response:
Please allow me to add, I appreciate that without women there would be no human race. Women are the mothers of all. But that does not mean women are “Only Mothers!” Women have lives too, and motherhood as birthers of children is secondary! Until a woman is ready…

a passionate post with the emotion and the rawness of the human experience. I too am always mortified when women are not treated or viewed equally, notice I didn’t say the same as men because they are different and there is a clear and profound difference between equality and sameness which I don’t need to explain to the readership.
Good post, thanks for sharing.

Then again women are getting pregnant and pushing out babies. Know who also gets pregnant? Yes, exactly, cows. Women are not unlike cows, which may be interpreted as Women = Cows!

And so do sheep, wolves, horses, and every other mammal on earth, but that doesn’t mean they must be slaves to males, right?

Most mammals are, tho. Well, except the wolves maybe.

The wolf is what I refer to as my spirit animal and I am hopeful that if there is such a thing as reincarnation, I’m coming back as a wolf! Not in the U.S., though, for these damn fools kill wolves for sport!
