I Am A Pro-Life Feminist

And that doesn't make me any less of one than pro-choice feminists.

I Am A Pro-Life Feminist
Huffington Post

Yes, you read that correctly. I am a pro-life feminist, and that doesn't make me any less of a feminist than you are. I don't believe the right to an abortion should be an issue related to the feminism movement.

I will stand up for equal rights for every human being, and that is why I am both pro-life and a feminist. I believe a human is a human life-form at the very moment of conception. That is when he or she is given all their DNA and traits that makes them who they are. This is another human being inside of a much older human being, and that doesn't give women the right to kill the other person inside their body. This is a matter of which is true, factual information--what science says or my beliefs; it isn't about women's equality and rights.

At the same time, I want women to have equal pay as men if they hold the same job at the same company with the same degree and experience. That should be logical, but some people don't seem to get that through their heads.

I want women to be treated with respect. "Boys will be boys" is an invalid answer to stereotyping a woman as a "sexual image." This is wrong. I want to be able to wear a normal tank-top and bend over to pick something up that I dropped without having to worry if there is someone around. I want to be seen as an intelligent young lady who is willing to work hard on other things beside having kids and cleaning house. If I want to be the first female President of the United States, you can bet I will work for it just as hard as a man will. If I want to be the one who finds the cure to cancer, you can bet I will work for it just as hard as a man will. If I want to be the owner of a billion-dollar company, you can bet I will work for it just as hard as a man will. Who knows, I might even work harder than a man will.

I want women to have social equality and rights as citizens of this great nation. I don't believe the same as pro-choice feminists on abortions , but that hasn't anything to do with what feminism is truly about at its core. According to dictionary.com, feminism is defined by, "thedoctrineadvocatingsocial,political,andallotherrightsofwomen equaltothoseofmen." Do men have other human growing inside of them? No. It's another human, which isn't you as a female.

I stand for women's rights, equality, and the rights for all humans.

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

bruce springsteen album cover born in the usa

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.
