<snip>
What this case shows more than anything is how utterly enslaved women have become by being on the pill. They have become enslaved to technology, drug companies, and illusions of sexual liberation, all at the expense of their own true selves.
Women on the pill must rely on the integrity of a pharmaceutical company controlled most likely by fat men to keep their fertility in check.
By going on the pill, such women have simply handed over a core part of their femininity their fertility and feminine health/well being to be regulated by a profit-driven industry.

What this case especially illustrates is how the pill has turned many women into haters of new life. While news of a newly created, totally unique, and unrepeatable human life should be a source of great joy, wonderment, and amazement, women on the pill see it as a source of anxiety, grief, trauma, and potentially a class action lawsuit.
While the creation of every new human life should viewed as a gift and be met with an expression such as Thank God, humanity has a future; my little one will bring unique gifts and talents into this world, women on the pill however target that new life for destruction through abortion.

I trust you can see the irony in that. Or at least I hope you can.

(20,885 posts)I just twinge a little when I see men called out on stupid shit. It could have been a woman who said this just as easily.
Admittedly, it's a minor thing that just caught me the wrong way.

Edit to add - I'm just glad it wasn't about high schoolers fucking.
