Do Men Have Abortion Rights?
I am avidly pro-life, and vehemently opposed to abortion as I feel nothing warrants the taking of an innocent baby's life. Killing a baby through abortion is the most selfish act a person can do. The arguments framed defending the woman's right to kill a baby are so egregious that, typical of all philosophies that are an affront to morality, the terminology has been changed drastically so the true intent is hidden by using the wrong words. Those in defiance of God are skilled in this.
But, in playing devil's advocate here, and assuming there are "rights" to killing your baby and aborting your parenthood, I have a few questions regarding the rights of the daddy.
A woman has a "right" to NOT become a mother, but a man has NO RIGHT to NOT become a father and will be compelled to pay for years. Only women have the right to kill?
If a woman has a “right” to terminate a pregnancy by paying money to an abortion clinic, then why doesn’t the “father” have the right to terminate his paternity by paying a sum to an agency? Why are only women given the right to end their parenthood?
Can a father end his paternity through a "paternal abortion agency" if a mother can end her maternity with physically aborting her baby?
How does a pro-abortion person frame an argument when a mother wants to keep the baby and the father doesn't?
Do men have abortion rights?

Liberals Disciple the Masses
There is a relatively simple reason why the left gets away with the lies and so many of the masses believe them at the expense of our country and at the expense of the campaigns of the good, truthful men like those that lost these recent elections.
Step one: It begins with early public education. Children from elementary up are no longer taught HOW to think but WHAT to think. They are trained to listen and parrot what their textbooks and teachers tell them, regardless of its accuracy. They are not taught to discern and distill information, but to regurgitate information, the basis for textbooks and fill-in-the-blank workbooks. The information that they will regurgitate is that which is handed to the educators from the powers that be, whether it be lobbyists, political organizations or politically correct and malleable administrators.
Step two: It continues with higher education indoctrination. Again, students are not true "free-thinkers" but simply regurgitate the spoon-fed ideologies of their professors for the right grade. Ask any student what happens if they answer something based on truthfulness when they are supposed to give a canned, politically correct answer. They are not allowed to take an opposing view if it is not in agreement with the party line. Truth and reality do not matter. Historical accuracy doesn't matter. (Ask my college age son who clarified his humanity professor's incorrect history of Muslims that she spouted during a recent lecture. In correcting her, using actual information from the Koran, she sarcastically asked him if he wanted to teach the class since he was clearly more knowledgeable than she. He agreed and she silenced him as he stood in front of his class.)
Step three: It ends with these students growing to become a technology and entertainment-addicted culture, the majority of which get their "news" and information from the Pravda media and Hollywood. If the same lies are said over and over, they, out of habit, do what they were taught to do in school. They parrot it. If anything is said long and loud enough, they must repeat it, whether or not it is true. This is catechism-like indoctrination.
Our society, for the most part, (the polly-parrot voting constituency) no longer reads to learn after they graduate, they no longer discern the truth from what they read, nor do they form their own opinion based on primary source material, They form their "opinion" based on what they are told to think and simply parrot the information. They are supposed to use the same language also, just like they learned in grade school when they were introduced to political correctness.
The conservative movement humbly asks these polly-parrot masses to actually think and form educated opinions. They ask that they actually read and get informed. Difficult topics are commonly broached, studied, discussed and disseminated among conservatives who still enjoy learning and tackling tedious subjects like fiscal responsibility, foreign policy, and economic issues. This is far more difficult than watching Letterman or Saturday Night Live, which is where many commonly get their information on current events. We can throw in an occasional segment on CNN and this discipling Pravda news becomes their reality.

Mail Call: Politics in the ol' Inbox
Ok, here's one from a "liberal-progressive" homeschooling mom who I converse with on a quasi-regular basis. She is taking issue below with my political position and affinity for the Tea Party movement. (I did seriously consider dressing up like an Indian on November 2 when I go to vote. I wondered if the joke would fall short, however, as so few people really know history...)
Here's her cut/paste message to me with the link on the top.

If you think the tea party is for you, you're likely being had.
The Tea Party today is being pitched in the media as this great threat to the GOP; in reality, the Tea Party is the GOP. What few elements of the movement aren't yet under the control of the Republican Party soon will be, and even if a few genuine Tea Party candidates sneak through, it's only a matter of time before the uprising as a whole gets castrated, just like every grass-roots movement does in this country. Its leaders will be bought off and sucked into the two-party bureaucracy, where its platform will be whittled down until the only things left are those that the GOP's campaign contributors want anyway: top-bracket tax breaks, free trade and financial deregulation. The rest of it — the sweeping cuts to federal spending, the clampdown on bailouts, the rollback of Roe v. Wade — will die on the vine as one Tea Party leader after another gets seduced by the Republican Party and retrained for the revolutionary cause of voting down taxes for Goldman Sachs executives. It's all on display here in Kentucky, the unofficial capital of the Tea Party movement, where, ha, ha, the joke turns out to be on them: Rand Paul, their hero, is a fake.
wishing you better, with all due affection,xxxxxx
Dear xxxxx~ Thanks for sharing that. Intereresting how one's worldview shapes their perspective. According to the "blind men and the elephant" folktale, we can both see the elephant from differing perspectives and be seeing "a rope, a wall, a snake, a tree...." and in a sense, both be right.
My take: Yes, the Tea Party is [an element] of the GOP in that many of the tea partiers are Republicans. (Strangely enough, many of the them are Democrats and independents also who are sick of BO's idea of "hope and change.") If the writer believes that those activists don't realize that the goal is to "take back" the GOP from its moderate leanings (the tax-hike division) then this person grossly underestimates the movement. Whether we like it or not, we are STUCK in a two-party system and if any reform is to be made, it has to be done through the system until things change.
Hey, what's wrong with tax breaks, free trade and financial deregulation? That's the point. The problem with progressives is that they haven't figured out that increasing tax revenue is destructive The "top-bracket tax breaks" affects everyone. Many of those who would be affected (those earning $250K according to BO--the "rich") are the business owners who hire a vast percentage of our working force in America. Rather than lose their income, it's much easier to downsize their businesses. The more taxes, the more downsizing. If you lived in our little town, you would realize, in our little community who all would be affected. Everyone, except those employed by the University and the hospital. My husband's business falls in that category,and we are by no means "rich". Tax hikes, we lay off. That means that these men stand to lose their home, they stop buying non-necessary goods, they stop supporting area businesses, they go on the public dole (Medicaid, food stamps et al.) So, all that said, I absolutely support tax breaks for "the rich."
Free trade. "Free" as opposed to highly regulated, government controlled trade? 'nuff said. It doesn't matter what kind of deregulation happens, financial, health or otherwise. Regulations strangle prosperity.
If the "Tea Party" leaders get seduced (which is possible considering they are human and subject to the same temptations that we all are--people pleasing, insecurity under scrutinization, money), it won't be the Republicans alone to blame but the whole system and the media that supports it.
Lastly, what makes Kentucky the "unofficial" capital of the Tea Party. Has the writer not been anywhere else? I would probably consider South Carolina the "capital" if a capital needs to be defined considering that's the state served by Jim DeMint. Rand Paul is nothing more than a senatorial candidate at this point.
As for the liberal call to class warfare, the tension created between the haves and have-nots, the increased social programs that the liberals push, I have to agree with Samuel Adams and Benjamin Franklin regarding this welfare society that we have created. They recognized that a society that harbors resentment against the "haves" and desires to give to the "have-nots" by requiring the Federal government get involved is counter-productive to the "care and concern for the poor" (that the progressives pretend to espouse while destroying their liberties at the same time). Samuel Adams wrote: "The utopian schemes of leveling [restribution of the wealth], and a community of goods [central ownership of all the means of production and distribution] are as visionary and impracticable as those which vest all property in the Crown. [These ideas] are arbitrary, despotic, and in our government, unconstitutional."
Franklin, after living several years in England where he saw government welfare in action, had this to say: "I have long been of your opinion that your legal provision for the poor is a very great evil, operating as it does to the encouragment of idleness. We have followed your example, and begin now to see our error, and, I hope, shall reform it." He also said "to relieve the misfortunes of our fellow creatures is concurring with the Deity; it is godlike; but, if we provide encouragement for laziness, and supports for folly, may we not be found fighting against the order of God and Naure, which perhaps has appointed want and misery as the proper punishments for, and cautions against, as well as necessary consequences of, idleness and extravagance? Whenver we attempt to amend the scheme of Providence, and to interfere with the government of the world, we had need be very circumspect, lest we do more harm than good."
We could use your enthusiasm for justice on the side of conservatism. Blessings~
