Abortion is a fundamental human rights issue : Comments

By Alon Ben-Meir, published 18/10/2024

In this presidential election, there is only one option to uphold women's right to abortion, which is a fundamental human rights issue that has made America proud for more than two centuries.

We don't need to know what Americans do about abortion.

In South Australia yesterday the Live Births Bill was defeated by a single vote; so there's nothing cut and dried about killing babies as a lifestyle choice - which is all abortion is in most cases.

If you want to yap about abortion in America, how about the American woman being jailed for three years for opposing abortion.

The author repeatedly refers to a woman's right to make decisions about her own body.

He conveniently, and hypocritically, chooses to turn a blind eye to the fact that the only purpose of abortion is to remove another (living) body from the woman. In the process, of course, killing this other human being.

As abortionist William Harrison rather inconveniently noted, “No one, neither the patient receiving the abortion, nor the person doing the abortion, is ever, at any time, unaware that they are ending a life”. William Harrison, “Why I provide abortions”, Daily Kos, May 31, 2007

Abortion is a fundamental human rights issue

It is also a fundamental human responsibility to ensure it is not done for social convenience !
Only the female carrying the early stage embryo has the right to decide as have those who she expects to support her when the father doesn't !

In this whole article, the author wrote only one sentence on the topic:

"It is a women's rights issue-among the right to vote, the right to free movement, and the right to live free of violence."

All the rest was American politics!

Either abortion is right or it is not - perhaps the author could explain the rationale, perhaps the author could expand and get into the metaphysics of the question, yet nothing, no substance, absolutely nothing...

Whatever the truth, American politics is the last thing to have any bearing on it.

A bit off topic but in my opinion also highly relevant to the situation of women in the US this essay provides (to me) a deeply disturbing insight into the nature of applied patriarchal Christian politics
