HISE, VIKKI – The Women’s March 2017
So today I want to talk about the
Women’s March on Washington and the marches round other cities of the world the
day after the Inauguration of President Donald Trump. So why did they march? They marched because they are upset that
thousands of Republicans are tired of the federal government using thousands of
taxpayers’ dollars to fund organizations like Planned Parenthood, who performs
hundreds of thousands of abortions a year.
I mean, how dare we Republicans get upset that our hard earned money is
being used to kill thousands of babies, right?!
The Women’s Marchers demonstrated against people who actually care about
other women, people who actually care about equality and the marginalized. Yes, the people marching on Washington have a
right to do so, but since their group does not represent the opinions and
beliefs of all women, I have issues with their so-called explanation of how
they justify their beliefs. If you ask
me, they are confused and wishy-washy in what and who they claim to
represent. Let’s look at Planned
Parenthood for instance. They claim that
abortion only makes up 3% of their services.
Okay, if that’s the case and they don’t believe abortion is wrong, why
even bring that up? I don’t care if the
percentage is 1%, because the fact is, they murdered over 300,000 babies in
2014, which is higher than the number of breast exams and cervical cancer
screenings. The organization goes on to
say that reproductive rights are human rights.
Really? Do they really want to
talk about Human Rights when they are killing unborn children? What about freedom, they ask? The same groups of women who think the
government should have a hand in most everything else in our lives, like
restricting the right to bear arms, restricting the freedom of free speech and
restricting the freedom of religious expression, also thinks the government
should not be able to have a say in protecting unborn lives. Once again,
they are flip-flopping back and forth on their issues, issues that only fit in
their agenda. The Declaration of
Independence states we have the right to life, liberty and happiness. Those were written in that order for a
reason; LIFE is more important than your HAPPINESS. Liberty and happiness could not exist without
life. If these “women”, and I use that term loosely based on their
actions and fashion apparel they displayed during their march, are so concerned
about women’s rights, why are they supporting killing children before they are
ever born, instead of letting them live to become strong, outstanding citizens
that can one day bring good to the world?
What if Rosa Parks’ mother had aborted her? Where would this country be? What if Mother Teresa’s mother had aborted
her? Think of all the lives that would
never have been touched, the people who may not have made a difference in the
world and the humanitarian opportunities that would have never existed. The only good thing I can really say about
this women’s march is that there was no violence. I cannot use the word respectful, because the
signs that I have seen that were used and the interviews on the media did not
at all demonstrate a respectful protest.
Respect and peace is also found in your words and actions, which was
clearly not evident throughout the march.
So why don’t we do this: for those
who are mad, angry, upset, whatever you want to call it, that President Trump
is indeed that, the President, let’s give him a chance. No matter what march you take, what genital
costume you wear or what nasty language you use, fact is, he is still going to
be the President. Unless I have missed
something, since the five days he has been in office, not one woman has had a
right under the Constitution taken away.
Let the man do his job and IF the time comes that he makes us women resort to third world country
standards of arranged marriages, child brides, non-voting American women, or
whatever else he could demean us with, then that’s when we need to have a women’s
up roaring movement that will move mountains.
Until then, let’s support each other as women, and raise the young women
we have around us to be strong women and give those unborn babies a chance for
their voices to be heard one day just as you want your voice heard today.
