M.I.A.

Me- in action, sometimes inaction, but always- acting out!
 

Abortion Dolls!



According to the CCR (Conservative Christian Right)- Jesus is ok with young girls playing with dolls- but those dolls better not support reproductive health!
Girls Inc. Is an organization that supports and empowers young girls to be good people, women, and citizens. They teamed up with the American Girl Dolls and now the CCR is boycotting (uh, shouldn't it be girlcotting? Although that does sound like something done in a bar by a 'wingman') this union because it doesn't 'honor traditional family values.'
huuuuuuh- ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!? Since when does advocating for reproductive health mean you are going to start having abortions and damning your traditional family values?!?
It just floors me- I find myself feeling so much pity for the lack of true understanding and a thoroughly misguided idea of what it means to want reproductive healthcare options. Does it include abortion? Yes. Is that the only aspect? No. Since when did we marry reproductive healthcare and access to abortion? I know I've ranted about my love and appreciation of Planned Parenthood before- and I mean it.
I wish that I could put on my resume that my beliefs do not speak to my choices. I wish that I could laundry list and carry around with me (because you know I run into the CCR rather often in my white-bread suburbiea work world. . . ) my personal ideology. It may be different than yours and still, I'm a good person! I want to see a world of well informed and advised reproductive options and if you need an abortion- you'll get one safely. I want that for you, knowing it is not a choice I think I could make for myself. I want a world where anyone can get married and do so with all the advantages and entitlements of marriage regardless of orientation. I want that even though I will never suffer from that discrimination as a heterosexual. I want a better world than this- all the while knowing that mine is not that bad as it is.... It can be better for everyone!
