Illogical thought processes and finger pointing

In today’s world, the woman who resists being told what to do, especially from a man who is in authority over her, is praised. In fact she is placed on a pedestal and pointed to as one to be emulated.

Take for example that the cry that “no man can tell me how to live my life” is the loudest voice being heard in one of the most politically charged issues of today. That, of course, being the abortion issue.

Most women who support abortion are appalled at the idea of killing their unborn, but they say they will not have anyone tell them that they cannot do as they choose. “Keep your laws off my body” was the cry from Washington during this year’s “March for Women’s Lives” and it is the cry coming from the heart of women all over the United States.

To modern ears, still ringing with the echoes of the ERA and Feminist movement of the ‘60’s, this sounds reasonable. However, to base this one stance as the most important issue concerning women’s lives is not only unreasonable but also hypocritical in my opinion. It is unreasonable because a woman’s life encompasses so much more than the right to have an abortion. Hypocritical because while saying they are opposed to those who would make laws that take away the choices of women, they are taking away the choice of their unborn daughters. In addition I cannot understand why the pro-life stance is considered taking away woman’s’ rights, yet it is not taking away rights to convict a women of murder for killing the children after they have been birthed.

Illogical thought processes and finger pointing to rationalize positions is a clear indication of a defiant heart.
