Do you think 2 million abortions is a good thing?

I met Dr. Dawg at the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal hearing last March 25. I kind of liked him. He seemed a cordial sort of chap, someone with whom I could agree to disagree with in a civil fashion. But I am saddened by his display of joy--indicated by a bright picture of fireworks--over the Order of Canada award to abortionist Henry Morgentaler. So I left the following in his comments box:

Seriously, Dawg, do you think 2 million abortions is a good thing?

Do you think it's a good thing that abortion has become a method of birth control?

Do you think it's a good thing that some are aborting healthy girls because they would prefer a boy?

Do you think it's a good thing that many women have abortions because they think they have no other choice? Do you think it's a good thing because their husbands and boyfriends tell them they have no other choice--that they don't want the child and will not help raise it??

Do you really think abortion is a pro-woman? Or is it really pro the unfettered sexual appetites of men who can sow their wild oats with impunity, knowing that Morgentaler and his ilk will just vacuum those "seedlings" out of their latest sex partner's womb, relieving them of the responsibility to look after their offspring.

No consequences for men, but grievous ones for women. The breast cancer link to abortion/coupled with the use of birth control pills is real.

I bet if men were the ones who had to undergo abortions for unwanted pregnancies, we'd see a whole different attitude towards the procedure. It would kinda go the way of men's birth control pills. Men decided they didn't like the hormone cocktail limiting their fertility so the idea got ditched.

It bothers me a great deal to see the glee expressed by so many of the male left-wing bloggers, the same bloggers who are quick to adopt vicious, misogynist slurs against women who disagree with them. Not saying you are guilty of this, but some of your fellow bloggers reek with anti-women hatred.

I fear for the future of human rights and especially the hard won freedoms that women have gained in the West. But abortion is not a human right, nor is it freeing for women. It is a bill of goods. It has taken away choice from women and forced women to betray their very natures to satisfy the appetites of predatory men.

This award is a sad day for Canada. A sad day for baby girls and their mothers.

Even those who don't want to return to the days of overly restrictive abortion laws and back alley abortions view abortion with a degree of sadness.

Not you?
