Liberal media definition

There is a political ploy that is being used with great success in election after election. It is the ploy of saying that those politicians who don’t promote complete abortion license and universal free contraception are fighting a war on women.

We read article after article where the journalist or pundit assumes that all right-thinking people value “reproductive rights” as they value the right to breathe and eat. By reproductive rights they mean access to free contraception and abortion, not actually the right to reproduce. I suspect those who champion reproductive rights tend to look askance at people who reproduce more than once or twice.

This approach is being used, of course, on Hispanic women, a powerful and growing demographic.

The approach assumes that Hispanic culture places the same value on sexual liberation that American culture does. American culture nowadays teaches that a liberated woman, who is unshackled by husband and children, and can fulfill herself sexually without the danger of pregnancy and is happier and more fulfilled than the woman who finds herself in the boring bonds of marriage and motherhood.

Modern feminism believes this fervently, and it is taught in high schools, universities and by an entertainment industry that places a woman’s sexual appeal and sexual availability as her highest attribute. Of course, young women today find themselves valued very cheaply, knowing that for their sexual favors they can’t expect a candlelit dinner, let alone a wedding ring and lifelong commitment. Any resultant abortion and its aftereffects are on them.

As a physician, I am also very aware of the tremendous impact of sky high rates of sexually transmitted diseases, which lead to sterility and cervical cancer. Abortion isn’t dangerous just the day of the procedure, but is also linked to long-lasting depression, premature birth and even breast cancer.

The feminists think they won the battle of the sexes, but of course, it was the men that won.
