Abort Irrelavant Opinions - 3/22

The part the moved me the most reading this weeks reading was the topic of abortion. I've always had an opinion on it but I never knew the factual backgrounds of it that the reading was able to inform me about. It fascinates me the most that the 47% of "Pro-Life" believers are men. MEN ! The same men that doesn't care for a child as a woman, doesn't have to birth a child, doesn't have to nurture a child, yet has such a strong opinion on the abortion method. Don't get me wrong I do believe that people are obligated to their opinions but the fact that the government feels as if the man has more of a say so on what the woman should be able to do with her body is completely absurd. It all leads back to patriarchy, giving the man this power, to make the man the sepreme. Although, the man is the highly percentage sex that uptionly leaves the child, forcing the mother to raise the child on her own. Then normally when the woman has to raise the child on her own she struggles with having to provide and nurture on her own, while already struggling to get a good job because of high rate of sexism in the work force. So then when she's forced to be on welfare and use foodstamps she looked down upon as wanting a hand out when none of this was what she wanted from the start.
