Welcome, Ven a gozar!

Roe verses Wade anniversary is here again. In America there are still a couple of groups who believe they need to fight over a woman’s right to control her body, and her destiny. What a waste in my opinion when there are so many more serious issues in the world!

In parts of South America, slums are rampant, and thousands of children are living on the streets feeding off of the mountains of trash and filth that even the adults living in those slums do not want. The poorest parts of Africa are the same way. Thousands of children die each day from hunger and disease. I don’t ever recall getting any junk mail from a Right To Life group in Africa wishing to perpetuate the daily regime of death by famine and disease. I have never heard of any Right To Life group in South America, or Africa encouraging women who find themselves pregnant to have that baby. How bizarre….

I never see any Pro Life people standing up when some baby is boiled, beaten, drugged, or shaken to death proclaiming their own individual guilt for making it so difficult for the Mother’s who never wanted a baby to start with.  You won’t see those people standing up and saying, “I am responsible. I am at least as guilty as she is. I could have done something to stop it, but I did not.” When these stories come across the television or the news paper, you never see anyone come forward and admit they had a hand in creating the situation that led to an unwanted baby’s death.

What you will see unfortunately is some of these same people who are committed to seeing every pregnancy result in a baby do is come forward and demand their pound of flesh payment from the Mother who had the baby that was cruelly murdered. They come in droves for their pound of flesh.

These good people who can not stop espousing their controlling Pro Life agenda are not thinking. They don’t think about the babies and children in the countries I mentioned. They don’t think or care because those are not American babies that are dying each day. They are those other babies. The less than babies, and in their eyes, not as important as American babies.

Those who want to repeal Roe verses Wade can sleep very well at night knowing they forced some young girl to stay pregnant while tens of thousands of children in other countries will died while they slept. Their caring does not cross into other countries.

I would be wrong if I claimed all people who want to repeal Roe verses Wade thought this way. I know they all do not, because some of them are not even thinking. They haven’t had a thought in a long time. They are too busy running on emotion. They are too caught up thinking about some pink cheeked smiling giggly baby laying on the little white rug, dressed in a spotless little baby outfit, while Mommy beams a smile from ear to ear a few feet away.

They miss the reality of that too. They do not see the child who is put in a dresser drawer after being drugged, up so Mommy doesn’t have to deal with them. They do not see Toddlers in rags that have not been fed or washed for two or more days, locked in a room, while Mommy is out on the streets working on her next fix. I am afraid many of these people have very selective vision, and it does not stray very far from a fairy tale vision they hold of these babies they are saving.

I am glad I live in the real world. I live in the world that contains human ugliness, starvation, and death. I am glad my world is not so limited I can not see beyond my rose colored glasses. I am glad I can sleep at night, because I do not have to lose sleep worrying about what woman is going stop a pregnancy tomorrow. I am glad I can see bigger problems that need fixing in this world.

I wish I could go vomit, and feel better about all of this, but I can’t….
