Since the Bra Burning days of the 60’s to the Civil Rights marches
in Selma, we have heard again and again about Equal Rights. As it
states in Ecclesiastes: "For everything there is a season..," we have
seen the times to rise up and stand for justice.
Yes many people in this nation have had a bias toward them, and
there is no denying the time for change in some areas. From Women’s
Rights, to Equal Pay, to Affirmative Action, the time to make changes
became necessary.
But change is many times needed for a season, and never meant to
evolve any further than its roots wanted to. And now we have evolved
into a society where seemingly everyone has some special rights or
another. Whether it is race based, culture based, or gender based the
agenda has been pushed and laws have changed. But how effective are
special rights after change has been implemented? How much further
will we allow it to evolve before the scales of justice are tipped
again, only next time in the opposite direction?
I will use an example of how men in this nation are shorted on
rights when it comes to Domestic issues to begin with. From a time
where many women were abused with no recourse, we have evolved into a
society that protects women on all fronts and leaves men with little
recourse. Many Domestic Violence acts in this nation are not just men
on women, but have increased substantially to women on men. I have
seen this first hand where a woman attacks a man physically, and he
pushes her away or holds her arms in defense. When the police arrive,
if she has a small bruise, 9 of 10 times the man will end up in jail
and with a record. Once in a courthouse I overheard a conversation
where a husband and wife had been arrested because the police could
not figure out who committed the assault. Though the man had cuts and
bruises, and even puncture wounds, the woman had on her record a red
mark from where he had held her arms after being attacked by a knife.
The two female DA’s dropped the case against the woman and set a
date for the man to be charged and convicted. When the man asked the
attorneys how this could happen, the two attorneys for the couple both
said the DA’s knew what they were doing and the jury would find it
much easier to believe a man of over 6 foot tall could hit a woman
before they would believe a woman of her stature would attack a man
his size. They also iterated that this was often the case and
prosecutors did this all the time. I was appalled!
It seems the rights of women have outstripped the rights of men.
But you see no Independent Feminists fighting for equality in this
situation, do you? And if a man speaks his opinion on the matter he is
labeled a woman hater and chauvinist. The scales have been pulled far
to the other side, and now women are enjoying the same protection men
enjoyed years past. But the men are not. So why do women allow the
same bias they protested for years against, to exist only on the other
side of the spectrum? Because they like it?
Now, let us go to the story of a young lady who recently had her
boyfriend use a bat to hit her so she could abort the child. The boy
is up for Manslaughter charges. However, under the law the girl cannot
be prosecuted at all. Because when it comes to females, the Abortion
Rights protect her, but not him. Just ask Scott Peterson who was
recently convicted of murder due to his wife being pregnant at the
time.
Yet millions of babies are murdered in clinics each year as an
alternative to birth control and the doctors and mother are protected
under Abortion laws. They call it a Fetus when aborting, and call it a
human being when done outside that sphere of lame excuse.
So tell me, when it becomes a crime on one end and in the same
instance becomes a Protected Right in the same instance due to gender,
where is the equality? It is like saying that rape is a crime only if
the rapist says he raped the victim. It takes no account to the baby
at all, just the one committing the crime.
So if this boy gets convicted and Scott Peterson does his time for
murder of a baby in the womb, why do we allow abortion doctors to get
away with it? If it is murder in one sense, it needs to be murder in
ALL senses. If abortionists desire to keep their right to slaughter
innocents in the womb, than they should be the first to step up and
protest Scott Peterson, this young man, and any other male who ends up
here.
But they will not. Because once that happens, it will open the
flood gates of men getting away with…well…murder! And the Women’s’
Rights groups and Abortionists will never go for that. Because it will
destroy their own agendas to keep the upper hand versus equality, or
it will take away these outrageous laws we have in place to begin
with.
So I say we keep the fight going to outlaw abortion completely in
this nation. That way Equality will exist to be able to prosecute
ANYONE who commits the same crime Peterson and this young man are
facing…murder. No exceptions, no special rights. Just conviction for
all who engage in murder. Then the scales of justice will finally be
equal and our nation can return some portion of its honor and sanity
back to society.
