Yesterday in my explanation of the warning one gets when trying to get onto this bog, I made a commitment/warning to readers of this blog. I said I may get back to doing some commentary. Well, since it is Tell George It's Friday, why not today? No time like the present, or so some folks used to say.
One blog I check every day has been posting a great variety of good topics and one of them got me off on a bit of a tangent. That happens often with me. I start out reading or writing on a particular topic and then suddenly I'm off on some odd tangent going …..well nobody, including me really knows where I'm going nor how I started going there.
Today may not get too far off my main topic, but then…..past history says be wary, this may go way out there.
Abortion is still a "hot topic" in 'Merikkka. Why this is beats me. Abortion has been legal in this country for many years now. Yes, I know, many states have placed so many idiotic restrictions on who, where, etc. abortions can be done that it is virtually impossible for a working class or poor woman to get a legal abortion in many states in 'Merikkka today.
Being a 70 year old man, I see this trend as a very nasty, vile thing being done by a bunch of nasty, damn fool moronic white men. Most of these white men also claim to be "good" Christians. Well, I call bullshit on that claim of theirs. These bullies, they really are, seem to me to be anti-female. They still have this piss poor idea that women should be barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen. They, the moronic white men want total control over what a woman can/should do with HER own body.
Now I personally have no problem with these folks protesting against abortion, freedom of speech and all that is supposed to be part of our Constitutional rights. It IS in the First Amendment to the Bill of Rights.
My own personal view is this; the father should be notified that he has helped to make a baby. End of his involvement.
Yes, he made his contribution to creating the child to be, but more often than not he'll deny anything about it. When said child is born, he won't be there to feed, clothe, nor house the child and mother. BUT, if the mother, who knows he won't be of any use beyond getting her pregnant knows this and decides to abort said child, then all bets are off and the male WILL demand she not be allowed to do so. This "father" (put in quotes because any man can father a child, but not many men can ever be a Dad) will get all sorts of aid to prevent the abortion from supposedly xtian groups who also oppose abortion.
I personally believe that legal abortion, done in a proper medical setting, safe within a surgical setting MUST be available to any woman who wants this procedure. It should not be so restricted that any woman needs to drive across the state to obtain this medical procedure.
I recall, when Roe v. Wade first became the law in 'Merikkka, and thinking to myself, OK, I'm a man in my meds 20's, my wife is pregnant, I work 60+ hours a week, she has some medical condition and her doctor tells me I can have a healthy wife OR a possibly healthy baby. I knew right then I'd insist on having my wife. What was I going to do to care for the baby? My parents couldn't fill in. Dad was still working his 40+ hours per week and no way I'd trust my child to the nasty old witch all day for 6 days a week.
One further comment on the. The groups who protest against abortion never seem to be around to adopt the children they manage to convince some women to not abort. Hey, these anti-abortion people claim to be such good religious folks and are "saving" both the women and the children, but they provide not one single damn thing of any use to the mother and child after the birth. Seems to me the protestors are just a bunch of goddamn fucking hypocrites who just want to impose their opinions/beliefs on the rest of us. Who died and left them in charge?
Oh, please do not get upset with me mittens, I am NOT picking on you, but the language I used in this post is in part why you get that Giggle warning hen you try to enter this blog. I figured if I didn't have it there and somebody complained that I used "bad" words, Giggle might shut this blog down. Yep, it was a CYA thing.
OK, until next time, PLEASE try, just try to treat all you meet each day the way you want to be treated.
Kronkats Korner. Just a space on the inter webs where I can say anything I want.
Meant to write thumbs up to this and instead entered it on another post but thumbs up plenty of times to you.
ReplyDeletegood heavens, what did I SAY? Maybe you read it wrong, or maybe it just came out bassackwards...
ReplyDeleteMittens, sorry if my post got you all wrong. As I said, I had a blog with giggle many years ago, then it was suddenly gone. I sent emails to them asking what happened. They finally replied they would "look into it". I started a new blog and after some months they reopened my original blog. Trying to remove the adult content may be on my current blog was my way to keep from having more problems. What with the way things in 'Merikkka are now days, I didn't want to have to do another blog. I cuss a lot, as if readers here didn't know by now (LOL).
ReplyDeleteHonestly I didn't mean to pick on you. Thanks for reading my mess and for your comments. As I said in reply to you, I don't care about followers, readers, or blog hits.
I don't have nor will I ever get any ads here. The problem was most likely with me. I do read things wrong, more now than ever, must be not enough O2 getting into my system. I find myself having to reread some articles and even books I have and have read many times. You have my most sincere apology for misunderstanding your comment.
