Lose the Battle. Win the War.

#LoseTheBattleWinTheWar

Dear 'pro choicers': 

In making it all about abortion, you're in essence fighting to keep what crumbs #RoevWade threw when the #wholepie of the #EqualRightsAmendment was denied, that would have prevented any such thing as the desperate choice of abortion.  Please stop fighting for crumbs, when the whole pie of the #ERA hangs in the balance.  Otherwise, you're playing right into the hands of those who wish to continue denying females #ConstitutionalPersonhood and their ongoing status as disposable property, as well as your and their children's being bought & sold with taxpayer $$.  

Don't throw away #EqualPersonhood & #protections that prevent forced pregnancies & abortions (not to mention equal pay), just to have the crumb of the #DesperateChoiceOption that is #abortion.  #DoNotTakeTheBait again. We were duped with the crumb of abortion & lost the pie of #Personhood & protections: what you got with RoevWade.  Abortion is not worth fighting for, when the scam is to deny the pie again, which was done in 1973, keeping females enslaved, rapists empowered, & more babies & children dying.  

#DoNotFallfortheScam 

Constitutional personhood = #Fullrights = Protections = #Security = #RealHealthcare = #lesspregnancies = #lessabortions = The Equal Rights Amendment, or E.R.A

Dear 'pro lifers': 

We can't pretend to not know the bible. This battle may be God's will; the test is how far will we go to stop more violence without creating the same.  The lines have already been drawn.  

There is only so much flesh can do.  It is more a test of faith than how far we will go.  This battle is designed to make us go further than we may have otherwise, to stop at the point where more violence would be created.  

Any death we can 'prevent' has already been decided.  Know where the lines are.  

Days Are Numbered: 

All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. (Psalm 139:16)

Man’s days are determined; you (God) have decreed the number of his months and have set limits he cannot exceed” (Job 14:5).

“Do not put the Lord your God to the test” (Matthew 4:7).

...nor is He [God] served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all mortals life and breath and all things. From one ancestor He made all nations to inhabit the whole earth, and He allotted the times of their existence and the boundaries of the places where they would live (Acts 17:25,26).

Sexist Conditioning Guilt

I hate to admit it, though there are times when I will sooner accept the advice from a man than a woman, and I'm a woman.  Chalk it up in part to the fact that the highest number of betrayals in my life have been by women (though those by men however fewer may have gone deeper; it was usually less of a shock, and less memorable in most cases).  These 'perpetrating females' have been socially conditioned to undermine any other female that poses a 'threat'.  I'm not that way, though for the same reason have had a very difficult time with female friendships; other women have just proven themselves to be less trustworthy.  I'm not more trusting of men per se; I would just sooner seek out their expertise and skill in business, as the way women have been taught to do business too often, whether they realize it or not, is to be competitive with other women.  

I really can't relate; my philosophy is there's more than enough to go around for everyone, and that no two people can bring the same thing to the table and carry out a project in the same way.  All are unique, and the effectiveness of one woman's method relies largely on the surrounding team or support circle.  Bringing down another woman to maintain power or position hurts all women, and only reinforces the patriarchy that shaped where we are now.

On a similar note, for a major surgery that involves manipulating an unconscious body, I would sooner trust a man for the mere fact he's physically strong enough to do what is necessary in the least amount of time and thus minimizing potential harm by not keeping said person's body on the operating table any longer than it has to be.  It's perhaps not the most true in all circumstances or in reality all the time, though in hopes of having to make that choice only once, it would have to be a male.  It shouldn't feel like a gamble, realistic or otherwise.

On the flip side, given this female stereotype that is sometimes inescapable, I've too often been pegged in the wrong way in the assumption that I'm like 'other women': dishonest, which I'm not; I've been referred to as 'honest to a fault', which doesn't transfer over nearly enough, unfortunately, in the 'real world'.

I'm a female, and therefore suspect to too many other females.  It's really sad, as it's largely our culture and upbringing that has done this to us, so the reflexes are often unconscious.  It remains a vicious cycle.  I'm wary of other women, often for good reason, and at the same time am or have been treated like 'that kind of woman', which I'm not.  There have been damages, and not just to me.  Our children suffer for it as well.  Without conscious change, we are perpetuating patriarchy, or continuing to allow negative masculine forces to have the upper hand to our detriment, and to our children's, which is unacceptable.
