“I don’t need the right to kill to be equal. “

June 19, 2014 by Faye Sonier 4 Comments

A great blog post over at Secular Pro-Life by Roni Cairns:

How is it pro-woman to say that we must be allowed to kill our children in order to be successful, to be “equal citizens,” to avoid being “inferior” or “subhuman”? That there is a human within my uterus does not make me less of a human, does not reduce me to such a state that I cannot accomplish anything, that I cannot think or vote, does not “ruin my life.” Those who believe pregnant women are inferior do women a serious disservice.

As a woman, I neither need nor want the right to kill humans to be equal as a human being. I am a woman. I am strong. I am capable. I am not inferior. And I don’t need the right to kill to be equal.

Some of the comments that follow the post are interesting as well:

It is misogynist to say women need abortion to be equal to men. It assumes that women aren’t equal to men already. It also holds male sexuality to be the standard against which women just don’t measure up.

    Of course you need the right to kill to be equal – equal with the killers. Deliberate killing is murder no longer. We now play by the killers’ rules.
