Three cheers for “women’s rights”

January 3, 2012 by Andrea Mrozek 3 Comments

Is this what passes for “women’s rights?” Now, courtesy of abortion activists, women are permitted to bleed to death, by themselves! Oh the freedom.

Facebook temporarily removed the profile picture of Rebecca Gomperts, the Dutch founder of Women on Waves, an organisation that works to provide women with safe, legal abortions. The image consists of a block of text providing information on how women can self-induce an abortion without the assistance of a doctor. Women on Waves was furious, but media attorney Quinten Kroes said there was little they could do….

Describing the contentious picture, Rebecca Gomperts said, “It’s actually a sticker we designed to provide information on how women can safely induce an abortion using a medicine called Misoprostol. The text is based on information and research from the World Health Organisation. So it is really quite safe.”

“Quite safe.” Wow. I’m severely underwhelmed.

    Women on Waves is a non-profit organization that provides services for women in countries where women don’t have reproductive rights. No, Andrea, this is what happens when women don’t have rights and as a result are forced into desperate meadsures such as this.

    “when women don’t have rights…” Certainly, I’ll keep looking for that international human right to be able to kill your child. Because no one could be so utterly misguided as to start an organization providing said “rights” when no such right exists, right?

    I have an advanced degree and have been working on this topic for well over five years and have yet to find any evidence, but I’m sure the problem is mine. I’ll keep looking.

    I apologize for the type in my first comment and I’m late to reply. I was talking about rights on a national scale, like in Poland, for instance. What happens to women there is pretty disgusting.
