If you haven’t heard, there’s a “war on women” going on. It’s being waged by politicians who want control over women. It’s being waged by power-seeking, petty tyrants who believe women are weak and need their help to live their lives.
But if you think it’s being waged by those evil conservative GOP politicians, whose mission is to keep women in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant, married before they turn 21, and popping out a quiver full of babies, your myopic vision is a problem.
The Democrats have created an entire industry from victimhood, and they have been successfully using it to win elections.
Their latest battle is the so-called “war on women,” that they have been touting ever since conservatives raised their voices in protest about having to fund Sandra Fluke’s sexual choices.
Apparently, forcing abortion clinics to conform to cleanliness and professionalism standards to the Democrats is somehow equivalent to losing a limb to a VBIED – that’s a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device, in case you were wondering. So is outlawing third trimester abortions, which are by all reports gruesome procedures that sometimes involve yanking a living, breathing baby out of a woman and finishing the job with a pair of scissors or another sharp implement. And refusing to pay higher insurance premiums to fund condoms or birth control pills for those unwilling to pay that whole $10 for them out of pocket? Yep, that’s equivalent to being deployed to the world’s war zones, being under enemy fire and being away from your loved ones.
This is what the Democrats have been feeding low information voters in order to win elections.
I lost a friend two years ago in Afghanistan. He was murdered by extremists after some U.S. Army Soldiers burned some Qurans, properly disposing of them after they were defaced by prisoners who used them as means to send messages to one another.
Another friend of mine – a military chaplain – came back from Afghanistan after seeing bits of his fellow Soldiers strewn on the streets after a suicide attack. He spent more than a year counseling members of the military who lost their friends in attacks downrange. He came back depressed, frightened, wanting to hide in a bottle.
A Soldier I know came home after 18 months in a war zone to see her home a wreck, her bank account nearly empty and the kids nearly failing out of school. She was gone for more than a year, lonely, tired and missing her family.
Scores of members of the military, who volunteered to protect and serve their nation, are coming back from faraway war zones maimed, both emotionally and physically.
That is war.
War is carnage. War is agony. War is fear and courage. War is sacrifice. War is duty. War is violence.
Let me tell you what war is not.
War is not a church refusing to pay for someone’s abortion or a bunch of Catholic nuns refusing to pay for your contraception.
War is not mandating abortion clinics to maintain hospital standards, since they’re performing medical procedures.
War is not ensuring that parents are notified if their pregnant 14 year old is having a serious medical procedure to terminate said pregnancy.
War is not those evil TEA Party conservatives refusing pay higher taxes and higher insurance premiums to fund birth control pills for those who are unwilling to spend the $10 to purchase them on their own.
Why have we allowed the Democrats to define the refusal to fund entitlements as a war?
Why have we allowed those who don’t earn to lay claim to our earnings, and then assert their victimhood if we refuse?
And why have we allowed the politicians, who think that women are too weak, too stupid and too uninformed to take care of themselves, as well as make their own birth control choices and pay for them, to insult the memories of those who fought, bled and died in foreign wars?
War is hell.
And the refusal to fund your extracurricular activities is not war.
