Commentary on the post "Is the GOP "War on Women" a reality"

This is a commentary on the post called, Is the GOP “War on Women” a reality?  On the student blog called “Shades of Gray”. Abortion has been a polarizing topic for decades. Conservatives think a fetus is a human therefore an abortion is murder and Liberals think that women  have the right to make the decision for an abortion. Even Libertarians, which are individuals that favor  individual freedom to make choices as long these choices don’t impede on someone else’s rights. Well some Conservative Libertarians argue that abortion does impede on someone’s rights since a fetus is a human being. One prime example of a pro-life Libertarian is Ron Paul.

I agree with all the points the author brought up in the post. GOP tries to oppose upon us things that are morally right for us. How do they know what is right for us? We are individuals and only an individual knows what is right for themselves. Don’t The Bill of Rights focus on individual liberties? And it seems the GOP tries to limit freedom of choice. Women just like Men have the right to choose what’s best for  their bodies. The GOP says that a fetus is a human and an abortion is a killing of innocent life, but on the other hand they strongly are in favor of the death penalty. You might be thinking, but yeah there is a difference between an innocent fetus getting murdered and a death row inmate that is a vicious killer. Like it says in the bible, An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Well, there are few executed inmates like.  Carlos Deluna, that evidences points towards their innocence, but since defense attorneys rather spend time defending death row inmates that could be saved not finding the innocence of ones that were executed. We will probably never know if they are truly innocent.

Another point brought up is birth control. One of the things this country is lacking in general is individual responsibility. It’s the individual’s responsibility to plan when to have a child and raise that child. Not the GOP telling women what’s morally right and what beliefs well should impose on our children. Celibacy or some kind of birth control are signs of responsibility.

What does GOP think about a woman’s role? To me it seems like they think that all women should be stay at home moms with no say what so ever about the household. This is a step back. I’m pro-choice regardless of any factor such as race, gender or social status just to name a few.
