Abortion: Making It Mandatory For Women To Watch It (And The Meaning Of “Respect”)

At least one Arizona GOP legislator has stated that all women seeking abortion ought to first witness an abortion before they have the procedure done to them.  Terri Proud (R-Tuscon) has stated in an email:

“Personally I’d like to make a law that mandates a woman watch an abortion being performed prior to having a “surgical procedure”. If it’s not a life it shouldn’t matter, if it doesn’t harm a woman then she shouldn’t care, and don’t we want more transparency and education in the medical profession anyway? We demand it everywhere else.

Until the dead child can tell me that she/he does not feel any pain – I have no intentions of clearing the conscience of the living – I will be voting YES.”

Consequently, the Left is in an uproar over this.  Why?  Because most abortions that are performed behind closed doors, in abortion clinics, occur sometime after the fetus has grown too large to be “safely” removed via an abortion inducing drug.  It must be “removed” manually.  At this point in its development, the fetus has taken on enough human characteristics to actually be recognized as a human being.

The idea of having a woman watch as a fetus – clearly and visibly human – is “removed” from its mother’s womb is not the kind of marketing abortion providers want advertised on their brochures.  In fact, there is not a single abortion provider, or advocate, who would support such a move.  Expect, perhaps, this one.  Abortion, as far as the rest are concerned, must remain secretive.  Doesn’t this mysteriousness bother anyone; make you the least amount suspicious, intrigued, curious as to why, as Terri Proud stated in her email,  “If it’s not a life it shouldn’t matter, if it doesn’t harm a woman then she shouldn’t care”.  Why, indeed, all the secrecy?  Or is it we are afraid of having confirmed what we already know to be true?

Women deserve better than the lies and misinformation that are being told to them by Planned Parenthood, NARAL, NOW, etc.  These self-serving, indignant organizations have long been at war with both womanhood and motherhood of which nearly 60 million unborn children have been the casualties.  Women also deserve better from men – those men who would only lust over them rather than love them.  But at the same time, women also deserve better from other women, and that includes themselves.  When men respect women, and when women respect themselves, they both avoid those unintended consequences which often finds women sitting and waiting in an abortion clinic.

But before women can demand respect from men, they need to first respect themselves, and their bodies.  And women who do not respect their bodies enough to keep men out of them can’t expect men to show them the respect they feel they deserve.  Men will respect women more who push them away.  And for those men who can’t, or won’t, take “no” for an answer – did they ever have any respect for women to begin with?  So why would women waste their time with such men?  And where did these men learn to treat women with such disrespect?  A disrespect, remember, with consequences that often finds the woman sitting and waiting in an abortion clinic.

We can look to the public schools for that answer.  When schools teach “safe” sex education, they are really teaching kids that waiting to have sex has no value, no merit, no worth, no logical or ration point.  Through “safe” sex education, kids are being taught and encouraged early on to have sex, rather than postpone it until marriage.   “Safe” sex education leads teenagers to believe their bodies are not worth respecting enough to hold off.  So, consequently, they don’t.  This often leads to the same unintended consequences that finds women sitting and waiting in an abortion clinic, and for which pro-abortion advocates, like Planned Parenthood, would endorse for teenage girls, with or without their parents knowledge or consent.  Once again, this disrespect for women finds women, and even teenage girls, sitting and waiting in an abortion clinic.

And it finds those of us who are pro-life – which is very much pro-woman – perplexed, frustrated and stumped.  Here we are trying to save the lives of unborn children – which ultrasounds clearly prove are actual human beings and for which there is a wealth of photos anyone can view on the internet that clearly shows what a fetus looks like throughout its development – and we are being challenged every step of the way.  We expect that from Planned Parenthood, and ultra-liberal feminists who have abandoned all notion of respect for women for their own selfish goals.  We ought not expect that from anyone else.

So, when a pro-life Republican – a woman –  writes in an email that women ought to watch an abortion first, before they undergo the procedure themselves, although her words may be more poetic than literal, what might actually happen to those women who do view an abortion as it happens?  And why would anyone object to having women watch an abortion so they can see for themselves what an abortion really is, what it looks like, and what is ultimately “removed” at the end of the procedure?

Women demand men show them respect – a respect they feel they deserve and for which men ought accept women deserve.  But what does the definition of “respect” mean to those women who cheapen themselves by flaunting themselves, by giving into the wiles of the very men they accuse of being disrespectful to them?  And why should the definition of “respect” for women include accepting whatever corrections a woman chooses to make to regain her “independence”?

Perhaps when more men respect women, and when more women respect themselves, all that extra respect for one another will do more in keeping women out of abortion clinics, sitting and waiting to have something done to them, to their bodies, they might feel too ashamed and too uncomfortable with actually knowing anything about.  But if you do want to know about it – Terri Proud has the solution for you.  So why pretend to be outraged?
