The Abortion Debate Isn't About Babies

All human rights are self-evident.
 

by Michael Corthell

The abortion debate isn't about newborns or babies or saving lives. 

If it were we'd have universal, free prenatal care. We'd have free universal parental leave for both moms and dads.  If it was really about the welfare of babies, we'd have free diapers and baby formula. 

Yes, if the abortion debate was really about the life of the baby it would include the quality of life of the developing child with free childcare, pre-school, and kindergarten. 

Rather, what it’s really about is control -- controlling women individually and collectively. It is about taking power away and keeping power for a few.

'Life' is not what actually lies at the root of the abortion debate. It’s about restricting, controlling, and policing women’s bodies. It is about emotional enslavement, and it is abusive. 

It is about inequality. 

It is about the subjugation of a class of human beings and it has the stench of religious fundamentalism.

I Am: Say It, Become It | How to Align Thought, Word, and Energy to Manifest Anything

  “Your ‘I Am’ is the first cause—whatever you attach to it, you set in motion.” Introduction: The Two Most Powerful Words Every day, we speak words over ourselves without thinking. "I'm tired." "I'm broke." "I'm not good at that." These phrases may seem casual, but they carry weight. In fact, they may be the very reason our lives feel stuck. Hidden within ordinary language lies a spiritual technology so powerful it can transform every corner of your reality. That power begins with two words:  I Am. The phrase "I Am" is more than a sentence starter. It is a declaration of identity, a spiritual command, and the mechanism through which we create our lives. In New Thought spirituality, "I Am" is understood as the first cause—the source from which all experience flows.
