It is amazing how when Mahatma Gandhi suggested
vasectomy for the menfolk as a means of population control, which I think was a
good idea - the men of India went berserk, as nuts as they can get. This is
still criticized worldwide. Why must we cut off our balls tube, they said.
Don't touch my nuts, they said.
AND THEIR VOICES WAS HEARD. The plans for compulsory
vasectomy for men in India was dropped because the reaction was so virulent.
But when it is a woman who wants to have an
abortion, you know, something that SHE decided for her own organs and to a
certain extent, her LIFE, suddenly everyone has an opinion and a sense of
entitlement to the woman's uterus. One by one would point fingers with
disapproving looks chastising the woman how she's killing a life within her.
Excuse me but...when a woman has a child, she is the primary caregiver. She is
the one who will ultimately spend most of her life raising the kid. You don't
have to find faults on why she got pregnant in the first place, that's none of
your business. It is as stupid as chastising a man why doesn't he carry condoms
around with him should he feel like doing a quick romp in the back alleys. It's
ridiculous. So the crux of the matter is, why is it that a woman does not have
a say for her organs but a man who doesn't even have a uterus somehow has power
over a body part he himself does not possess? It's hypocritical on so many
levels. Only those who possess an uterus, should have the right to decided on
what to do with them, when to do it. A good number of men and women actively
campaign against abortion without knowing that THEY'RE DEPRIVING A HUMAN BEING
TO HAVE THE FREEDOM OF CHOICE. So whenever I hear someone, especially A MAN
making a point on how abortion is murder...I feel all the more necessary to
campaign for compulsory vasectomy. Just imagine an alternate universe where men
wanted tie their testicles tubes but the women were against it because millions
of potential life would be wasted in a single squirt of ejaculation. You're
probably laughing right about now. That's impossible. That's absurd. What's
absurd is some people depriving the physical and mental readiness of when the
woman finally decides to be a mother. Do you know the toll it takes on a
woman's health when she was forced by circumstance to have a baby when she's
not ready for it? Society, for the most part is punitive towards a woman
conceiving unwanted pregnancy. Who and what gave you the right to decide for my
reproductive organs and what goes on in it? Who are YOU? We're boasting to be a
civilized era yet a woman is still deprived of basic choices that by right
should be entitled to her by default. I am not pro-abortion. I just believe in
freedom of choice, a result of choice for the woman to still be respected when
she made a life decision that's best for HER.
