Equal Rights? (Please Read the Description)

Please note that this banner is not about men forcing women to stay pregnant, it's about denying men the right to kill their offspring, a right that women have. Yes, it's playing Devil's Advocate. Are you against the idea of men killing their offspring if they don't want them? If so, why?

Okay, so it's come to my attention that people have reported this for being "awful." Well, if you don't want to hear what it says, I'm not stopping you from going to another page.  There's no gore or blood and it doesn't threaten anyone. It's in a political label, so what more do you want? I can put a warning label for ideologically sensitive material on it if you want, but seeing as stuff like this, this  this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, and this are allowed, I don't think I need to. Hey, I'm allowed to have an opinion. I'm not threatening anyone, and shockers, but you know what? You actually don't have to agree with me. *Gasp* 

Yeah, I know I'm not the best at text art or graphic design (I didn't major in it in college after all) but just because it's not as good as the next person's doesn't mean it's not art. Photo edits, photo manipulations, text, as well as writing/apologetics are all forms of art. They're just different forms. Art has many forms.
How immature can people get that when they don't like what something says, they say it's not art and doesn't belong on an art website? Do people not realize that art can have messages?

I've had a lot of people use this deviation as an outlet for hate and rage. I hate blocking people, but if you're going to harass me, that's what you get. Now, I have emptied my black list, but if people can't be polite and mature in their disagreements, they're going to be blocked again. If you start attacking me personally instead of respectfully giving your opinion about my arguments, don't expect to be taken seriously. I believe in second chances, but I won't stand for exsessive rudeness. Act like an adult and you'll be treated like one. Thank you.

Now, on to the apologetics! And remember, you don't have to agree with me. This is just food for thought.

Warning! The following contains sensitive material.

The question is simple enough. If we truly want equal rights, men should have the right to kill their babies after birth. After all, women have the right to kill their offspring, and therefore so should men. Feminism is supposedly all about equal rights, so therefore men should have the same rights women do when it comes to their offspring. If she shouldn't have to deal with the responsibilities of pregnancy, child rearing and/or adoption, why should he? Now please understand that I do NOT want women to be forced into having abortions and I do NOT support infanticide (just going to say that before people try to twist my words), but if feminism were truly about equal rights for both genders, that's what it would require.

Of course, the media and the feminist agenda has been very successful at shutting men out of the equation with their sexist "no uterus, no right to talk about it" nonsense. Maybe those women haven't noticed, but it takes two to tango. The fetus in question belongs to the man just as much as it belongs to the woman. It is not her body. It holds his DNA as well as hers. In essence, feminists want control over men's bodies as well as children's bodies by claiming that their partner's sperm and the entirely new life form inside them are just "another part of her body."

As it stands now, women hold the power of life and death at their fingertips with no questions asked, whereas men have no rights whatsoever. Women have the right to kill, whereas men have the right to... pay child support. A huge number of women do not tell their partners that they're pregnant. 82% of men who find out their partners had an abortion wish they were part of the discussion. That's the vast majority of men, and feminists brush it under the rug as if it's nothing.

I can think of few greater assaults on equal rights than abortion. Can you think of anything more horrible than standing by helplessly while your child is slaughtered against your will? And yes, "slaughtered" is an accurate term: 






"But men don't have to be pregnant! / It grows inside the woman! / Men can't get pregnant! / Men aren't the ones giving birth!"

(If I had a nickel for every commentor who clearly didn't read the description... I'm almost tempted to mark them as spam. Don't argue against what you haven't read. If you're going to use this point as your argument, bring up something new. Repeating or rewording the argument listed above proves nothing except that you didn't read the description.)

Fair enough. But by that logic, a father should have the right to kill any child of his once the mother's body is out of the way. Is that what you want? If the thought of that bothers you, why? Why should a mother be allowed to kill her offspring but the father be denied that right?

Remember, I am a woman, and as far as I know, I'm very fertile. I have great potential to get pregnant. Do you see me pulling the "I'm such a poor, oppressed creature" card?





"What about paper abortions?"

For those who don't know, paper abortions are an idea raised by Men's Rights Activists that proposes that men should be able to relinquish all responsibility of a child he doesn't want. Personally, (but you don't have to agree with me) I detest this idea, because it will raise a whole new level of deadbeats to the surface. If paper abortions were a real thing, men would have no responsibilities in the least. They could take advantage of as many women as they want and then leave them all in the dirt. I believe in responsibility for both parties, regardless of gender.

Now, consider this: even if paper abortions were legalized, men would still not have the right to kill their fetuses. They would merely have the right to abandon them and their mothers. Still, in the end, only women would hold the right to take life. Women would have a right that men would be denied. Sticky situation, huh?

However, even a paper abortion is basically the equivalent of a mother putting her "unwanted" baby up for closed adoption. In a paper abortion, the father would relinquish rights to the child. In a closed adoption, the mother relinquishes rights to the child. As it stands, women already have that right. So, women have the right to relinquish care of their children and kill them at will, whereas the father has no rights whatsoever.







"A woman shouldn't have to give him a baby she doesn't want!"

Unless she was raped, this argument holds no weight whatsoever. By this logic, a woman has full rights to snatch her newborn out of its father's arms and stab it in the back of the skull with a pair of scissors. Is that what you really want?







"What about rape?"

Ah, the expected argument. It's bound to come up, so I may as well answer it here. Rape contributes fewer than 1% of all abortions:  . That said, I don't believe a rapist has any rights to his child. Anyone who commits rape is in no position to be a parent.

Now, since we're on the subject of rape, let's address the sexism of statutory rape. Statutory rape is sex with a minor. A girl under the age of 18 who is impregnated, consensually or not, is not required to pay child support, whereas a boy under the age of 18 who impregnates a woman, consensually or not, must pay child support. While I do believe anyone over the age of 13 (because they should have had sex education at that point) is liable for paying child support provided the act was consensual, this includes unconsensual acts. A woman of any age can molest a young boy against his will and then force him to pay child support. That is beyond sick.








"Men don't care."

Actually, abortion can and most often does have very profound effects on men. According to American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, depression was observed among 82% of men for years after an abortion. All in all, the majority of men are negatively affected in a big way by abortion.

82% percent of fathers don't want their children to die. What if he wants to take it and raise it so the mother can go on her merry way? If men could be surrogates, a huge number of them would be if it meant saving their child's life. Again, the mother holds the power of life and death at her fingertips and the father has no rights whatsoever.

 The media and feminist agenda portray abortion as solely a women's issue, but men have to deal with it, too. After all, the fetus in question is just as much theirs as it is the woman's. He's the father, after all, and yet he has no rights whatsoever. A woman has the right to ultimately destroy his life along with his child's, and he can't have any say in the matter.

Effects of abortion on a man can include, but is not limited to:

• feelings of grief and helplessness

• feelings of guilt and shame

• depression

• sexual dysfunction

• impotence

• loss of sexual interest

• substance abuse

• self-hatred

• self-esteem and confidence problems

• fear of relationships

• increased risk-taking 

• suicidal behavior

• greater tendencies to becoming angry or violent

• a sense of lost manhood

"Shouldn't he value their relationship?"

If a woman is willing to kill her partner's child against his will, she doesn't deserve him. They obviously can't agree on even the most basic of human rights, so the relationship was dead from the beginning.

On top of that, since when was a relationship worth more than human life? And don't try to tell me a fetus isn't alive. If it's not alive, what is it? A rock? And if it's not human, at what point does it switch species and become human?

If a man's partner slaughters his child, he needs to leave her. That relationship is toxic, and he needs to get out before more lives are taken.









"Pro-lifers don't care about women." / "Pro-lifers only care about fetuses." / "Pro-lifers don't care about the fetus once it's born." / "Pro-lifers would never carry the fetus or be surrogates."

Please check out this writing piece which answers all of your claims about pro-lifers:
Myths About Pro-LifersI recently had someone come to my page and proceed to spam almost every single one of my pro-life posts with abortion propaganda. The first thing I noticed was that he was most likely a sock-puppet account of someone who had been harassing me and was thus block-evading (a number of things were suspicious, such as the writing style, the types of grammar mistakes he/she made, not to mention the fact that the account existed solely to post on my page and was promptly deactivated before I could reply). But other than the fact that they were breaking the rules, (and technically the law on a very small scale), I couldn't help but notice that about 90% of their "arguments" weren't even about abortion, pregnancy, or anything like that. They were about pro-lifers.
And now that I come to think about it, it seems that a huge number of "arguments" made in favor of abortion are actually just jabs at the pro-life movement. It makes sense why they'd want to do that: destroy the messenger, destroy the 








"Well, you just hate women!"

Hello, I am a woman. Maybe I have more self-control than a lot of women out there, but how exactly does that mean I hate my gender?
