Check out this old school photo of me back in my going-by-my-maiden-name pro-life activist days! Look at that slightly androgynous hippy chic awesomeness I exude! Ohhh yeah.
So I was looking over some of my old conservative / pro-life / First Amendment opinion columns and thought I’d repost some of them here on my Domestic Geek Girl blog from time to time. I mean, my random articles and commentaries are currently splattered randomly on the interwebs, but they’re not really located all in one place on the web ever since I retired from full time activism and have instead settled into attending the occasional right-wing brouhaha from time to time.
This blog is, and most likely primarily always will be all about babies, domestic duties, health, home, generic wellness and my budding green living lifestyle and, as always, random acts of geekery. But you all know I’m a hopeless bitter clinger, so expect the occasional “Politics & Patriotism” post from time to time, especially as I flesh out my blog with some old school rabble rousing goodness.
Anyhoo. Here’s a piece I wrote for The Examiner back in January of 2011. ^_^
Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Abortion
What with the delusions of deity and supremacy running rampant in Washington, I figured I’d like to brush up on some good ol’ Constitutional and Declarational 101 amidst all the Obama administration shenanigans. So let’s just cut to the chase:
The role of the government is to protect life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And in that order.
The now-famous “right to privacy” which secured the “right to abortion” in the Roe vs. Wade trial is not actually in the Constitution or the Declaration. When it was worked into the document to validate legalized child slaughter, the “right to privacy” actually fell under the category of “the right to happiness”.
Now. Let’s go over our numbers again. In the scale of rights, life is first. Liberty is second. And happiness comes last of all the fundamental rights.
This is why stalkers aren’t free to pursue their happiness of stalking, murderers aren’t free to pursue their happiness of murdering and – logic would dictate – abortionists should not be free to pursue whatever twisted happiness they derive from violently dismembering thrashing babies in the womb.
The right to life is superior to the right to privacy; therefore a fetus’ right to live supersedes a woman’s right to privacy. I’m not going to exhaust myself doubling the length of this article with biological facts and common sense tidbits that indisputably prove the life and humanity of the fetus. I’ll just assume that everyone reading this has an elementary school level of education and continue on.
The hierarchy of rights is really very simple, and well established in our nation. This is why registered sex offenders right to privacy is overshadowed by the rights of the people to be safe from Pedro the Candy Peddler. Sex offenders have lost their right to privacy, because they have violated the superior rights of someone else.
This is also why – to the dismay of many of Planned Parenthoods male supporters – child pornography is prohibited on private computers. (Planned Parenthood still has trouble grasping this one as well, judging by their proposal to the 2010 U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, where they pushed for the “right” of children to be able to “express themselves sexually” – including being participants in pornography and prostitution.) But, no matter how wistfully PP may salivate over a world where every 8 year old is a kinky little slut and all 12 year olds are veterans to the abortion stirrups, the Constitution is still abundantly clear: Even in the privacy of your own home, you can’t view children being sexually exploited because the child’s right supersedes the adults’ right to privacy. (This comes as a crushing blow to David Ogden, Obama’s hand-picked Deputy Attorney General, who is adamantly pro-child pornography. Hm. Constitutional retardation must run in the party?)
No matter how private the abortion clinic may be, no matter how private the abortion chair is and no matter how private the sex life of the mother, no amount of “privacy and / or happiness” supersedes a child’s right to not be decapitated and raped with a giant suction tube.
If we are to apply Constitutional law in its entirety and preserve the documents that ensure our God-given rights as Americans, we must insist that the government do its duty in protecting children in the womb, just as it is the government’s duty to protect children from being molested, women from being raped, or any other violation of unalienable rights.
Petulant feminazis don’t realize that when they rail against the government potentially taking away “their abortions” by enforcing the Constitution, they are joining the ranks of those who railed against “their slaves” being taken away by that same pesky document. No one has or has ever had an inalienable right to harm another human being. To do so is un-Constitutional, lawless, selfish, and in the case of abortion – cold blooded murder.
Come on people. These truths are “self-evident”. (That’s Founding Fathers speak for “no duh”.)
Dear Christo-Fascist,
Women are not incubators. Women are people. Please keep your delusional sanctimony away from women and their rights. You are not helping. 🙂
Love,
The Petulant ‘Feminazi ‘ – Arbourist.
Oh dear. And here I assumed everyone reading had an elementary school level understanding. Well, if your general education ever exceeds that of 6th grade biology, you’ll soon have to find another argument for justifying your abortion when you realize an unborn child is a person, every bit (and judging by your adamant promotion of child slaughter – more so) than you are. Don’t pretend to be for women’s rights when it’s harpies like you that wouldn’t have given a shit if my DAUGHTER – a woman, a person, a human being – had been savagely dismembered in womb. When “women’s rights” involves women floating around in bloody chunks in an abortionists bowl…? Just… Wow. When you get your big girl pants, try advocating for ALL women’s rights for a change. Not just your own.
Given the level of your prose, let me assure you, much less is necessary.
I have great argument.
Women are autonomous human beings and have say as to what goes on in their bodies. It is absolutely their within their rights as human beings to decide to terminate their pregnancy, as it is their body.
Oh my goodness it is almost like you exercised your rights and made a choice. Funny how you advocate for others not to be allowed to make choices. But of course, cognitive dissonance is nothing new for the deluded.
“Given the level of your prose… I have great argument.”
LOL. You have great argument?
This is cliche liberal debate 101. It’s like you guys follow some kind of handbook on how to be an Internet troll. Step 1, make asinine comment on random conservative blog without actually reading the article. Step 2, attack the prose, grammar, or spelling of the original poster. Step 3, immediately follow up with bad prose, grammar or spelling.
Anyhoo, everything you stated in your response is fully and thoroughly addressed in my main article. It’s obvious you did not actually READ the article… that or you are so far entrenched in trying to justify murdering your own child that no amount of science or common sense will sway you. The humanity of the unborn is so scientifically established that to believe otherwise is akin to being a flat earther. But when it comes to justifying having your offsprings spine ripped out their skull to suit YOUR selfish needs, I’m sure intellectual suicide isn’t that extreme.
Anyway, go find some other blog to troll, I’m done feeding you. Your regurgitated and scientifically unfounded extremism has been addressed enough by me and at this point…. haters gonna hate, Proverbs 9:8. 😉
You make some very good points. What concerns me most is what happens to those babies after they’re born, unwanted, and shoved, unwanted, in to the foster care system? I think perhaps if there was more focus on family planning (i.e. use protection), and less on “don’t abort” this whole issue might make more progress. If people only (except for that <1% where the protection fails) got pregnant when they wanted to, there wouldn't be a need for abortionist clinics anymore.
I personally know many couples that are LONGING to adopt a child, and give it life. There are literally MILLIONS of couples seeking to adopt, far more adoptive parents than there are babies being aborted. Besides, if there is a problem with children being mistreated, the answer isn’t to kill the children. Its to address the parents / situation.
So why do we still have orphanages? Couples that want a new baby are not helping anything. the problems we really have is that there are not enough couples willing to love a child unless they get to pretend it is their own brand new baby. Those millions of couples are not looking to change a life other than their own. It’s like ignoring all the dogs/cats that need a good home so you can get a new born puppy or kitten from a puppy mill.
I think that is a situation that needs addressed directly. Just creating laws to keep a continual supply of new babies available does nothing but exacerbate the problems. You have not thought this through very well. Yep, keep the babies mills running because there is millions of couples creating demand.
Save the fetus, but once it’s old enough to walk, screw ’em. Isn’t that your thinking?
No, that’s not what I’m thinking. However, I’m also not thinking that someone’s worth is based on wether or not they are “wanted”. If you are suggesting that “unwanted” people should have their spines ripped out their skulls and be brutally dismembered, then I don’t think you’ve thought your “compassionate” stance through yourself. 😉
Though I normally play devils advocate, I truly love the way this is written. I have to say, well done.
Thank’ee!
Wow. I see The Arbourist found your blog as well. She pulled a drive-by at my place a couple of months ago.
What a sad little woman. I hope you didn’t feed the troll. 😉
She tried to fisk one of my posts, so I came back a few hours later and calmly fisked the fisking. Another commenter came by and mopped up the rest a few days later.
The post wasn’t about abortion and I’m a dude, so she wasn’t quite as angry.

lol, clearly my topic struck a nerve…
This is really great, and so very true. I used to be a pro-choice advocate and I distinctly remember the moment I realized that SEX was a choice that you made with your own body but abortion end the life of a separate individual. The most frustrating side of the pro-choice left is their complete lack of consideration for the emotional struggles following an abortion. Thank you for this succinct and articulate defense of life.
