I just checked out AOL's news and discovered that Susan Anne Catherine Torres has died. I am so sad for her family…I almost cried. That baby was the symbol of a family's effort to rebuild their life after a tragic loss…I can't imagine what that father must be suffering right now.
This situation had the potential to cause a lot of debate. If the father hadn't come out and said exactly what would please feminists, they would have raised Cain about him keeping her body alive to provide a chance of survival to their child.
Sometimes, it seems like feminists want to divorce the value of a woman from her ability to carry a child. It's like that's, at bottom, the point of feminism. It seems like they're saying, look, a woman is worth something even if she has no children…I mean, we don't value men based on whether they can father children or whatever, do we? But how can you divorce a woman's value from something so intrinsic to her? You can't. The fact that a woman has the ability to carry children is, of course, valuable. But I think that their point is that that ability should not completely define her value. If she doesn't have that ability or chooses not to utilize it, that should not detract from her. I think they're saying, that should be considered optional…let's turn away from this idea that if you are a woman and you don't have kids, there must be something wrong with you either mentally or physically.
Maybe that's why they shove abortion down society's throat so much.
