This was originally posted on our wonderfully maginificent blog, that you should ALL be taking part in before the wrath of my heathen Gods reins down upon you; Children Living, Please.

However for the benifit of the slackers in this area. And to make up for the fact that I seem to be absent quite a bit lately, I decided to post this all up in herre. However if you would like to see the comments that people made to this post, in the blog you will have to go to the site, go to the July archives and read it there. BE PRO-ACTIVE, bitches.

Anyway, that's enough of that;


Me
Dear Choicer,

I am a pro-life feminist.

I believe that a woman's worth is not in whether or not she can choose to kill her child, but is - like everyone else - centred around herself and who she is. Each woman will do things differently, choose differently and believe differently and they're all worth the same.

That's right, even the pro-life women.

You see, I don't need to be pro-choice to be pro-woman, and I don't need to be pro-choice to be a feminist as you would have me believe. In fact, when you tell me such you are infact unrooting and undermining the basic principles of feminism. When you tell me that I MUST do something or I MUST believe in something in order to be worthy, or a feminist you are infact no better than the person who tells women that their place and worth is in the kitchen.

Women have the right to decide who it is they want to defend and which side of a debate they want to take. To insult them if they choose differently than what you would like does not make you a feminist, it means you support the supressing of a woman's right to choose.

Not the right to choose to kill her child, but the right to choose her beliefs.

Personally I will fight to ensure that every human has their basic rights, every human is seen as as being worth something, and that no human is again stripped of its personhood. No matter where it lives, how old it is or whether or not it's convienient for me.

Because after all, isn't that what feminism is really about?

I don't understand why so many Feminists believe it necessary to be Pro-Choice to believe that women deserve equal rights to men. It offends me when Pro-Lifers are called Anti-Women (because most of them are not against women, though I have met a couple who do seem to be, about as many as the Anti-Men Pro-Choicers I have come across).

While I do think that women should be able to control what is or isn't living in and off of their bodies, I see no reason why this should be a mandatory belief for those who believe the genders are equal.

I've never seen abortion as a "women's rights" issue, but as a "human rights" issue. In the same light as "your right to swing your fist ends at my face," your right to bodily integrity (I see that's the new buzzword these days...) ends when you kill someone who not only violated your "integrity" accidentally, but that you took the risk of inviting in. Bitching and moaning about my right to kill an intruder in my home is one thing, but if I leave my door wide open? That makes it partially my fault. I didn't do my part to prevent that intrusion from happening.


And I know all of you are thinking door = v****a...

But.. But Zin! A condom is equal to a closed locked door! What are you talking about? Your analogy is void! Void! VOOOOID!!!!

No, I love that analogy, honey. A condom is more like a locked screen door. It can be broken into, even though it's technically still a closed door. Like, honestly.

A closed, locked, deadbolted door = not having sex at all.

An open door= unprotected sex.

I'm having way too much fun with this analogy.<3

Then there are those who say that wearing a condom or using the pill or both justifies the concept that they agreed to sex and not pregnancy. Sex is a gamble. All condoms and pills do are stack the odds in your favor.

Beware the Jabberwock
I had sex with a door once.

Yes - my door. My screen door no less.

I mean, I'm all for you to enjoy your door fetish, but did you have to do it to my door? I had just washed it too.

wink
