Glenn Greenwald in Salon Magazine
http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2007/12/22/klein/index.html WAS
going on and on about why he still deserves to live even though he's
considering voting for a pro-life Republican, namely Dr. Ron Paul, for
president.
It is stunning to me how many people would rather have an abortion
than have world peace. It seems pretty selfish to me. But I guess
that's what having an abortion is all about. Men who don't want to
take responsibility for their offspring. It has absolutely nothing to
do with women's rights if you ask me, and I have always been female.
It has to do with the assumption that women must earn a living or else
they are a drain on society.
Glenn Greenwald wrote:
"There's no question that abortion -- whatever one's views on it are
-- is a vital, even central issue of individual rights... But abortion
isn't the only important issue... of Paul's candidacy."
There are actually a lot of questions about what are the most vital
issues concerning the individual rights of women, and how abortion
fits into that picture. If you ask me, abortion is a distraction from
the three fundamental rights of sexually active women.
Marriage - the promise of a man to provide for his offspring and
fulfill the needs of his woman.
Dowry - a gift given from the man to the woman to legitimize his
interest in her.
Maintenance - all expenses paid (food, clothing, shelter, medical
care) for life.
In the ideal world, every woman should and would demand this from any
man seeking to enjoy her. Abortion "on demand and without apology"
destroys this ancient security net for women.
"If people who support a candidate with the wrong position on abortion
(or gay rights) can be accused of being indifferent to the rights of
women or gay people, then -- by the same exact "reasoning" -- those
who end up supporting candidates who affirm America's right to act as
an imperial power or who want to continue many of Bush's executive
power abuses [as Hillary Clinton certainly does and as even Barack
Obama and (to a lesser extent) John Edwards do] should be accused of
being indifferent to constitutional liberties, the rule of law, and
the lives of millions of innocent Muslims," continues Greenwald.
I do not presume to know what the "right" position is on abortion.
Neither does Ron Paul. He doesn't let his personal feelings get in the
way of the Constitution. He says leave it up to the state. There is no
way New York Jews are ever going to criminalize abortion. So it's a
non-issue.
