The Election and Planned Parenthood
I often get frustrated when people say that feminism is no longer relevant or necessary, and that third wave feminists, like myself, are all just man hating, tear drinking “feminazis.” I could go on for several hours about the specific needs of women of color and women in the LGBTQ community, but for now I will give that particular horn a rest, while still recognizing that it is beyond important. Currently there are several examples of the relevancy of feminism in modern America, and it is so important that we not only recognize them, but do something about them, because they are time sensitive and could have major implications in the near future.
Currently there is a Republican primary going on, and if you are as liberal as I am, it would be very easy to ignore it, or just laugh off their crazy antics, but in reality this is a very scary time. One of these people is going to be running for president against the Democrat’s candidate (Go Bernie Sanders), and that should make every woman shake in their boots. These candidates are boasting about defunding Planned Parenthood like it is going out of style. and apparently none of them even understand the constitution in terms of the relationship between religious freedom and civil rights.
One candidate in particular still seems to think that a woman is unqualified for this position simply because he thinks she is ugly, and then thought telling that woman that her face is lovely somehow made up for the fact that he was so sexist as to think physical attractiveness had anything to do with the job. People of color, whether female of not, you should be terrified too! This same guy thinks that Mexico “isn’t sending its best” and that “the black love him.” Not only that, but he is utterly stupid when it comes to politics, policy, and common sense. He believes vaccinations put children at risk for autism, that building a wall is equivalent to an immigration policy, and that because it has been colder lately, global warming doesn’t exist.
The scariest thing about all of this is how he is polling. In case you haven’t been able to figure out who I am talking about, its Donald Trump: the man, the myth, the legend. And the people supporting him in these polls illustrate how alive racism and sexism still is in the United States.
If that wasn’t enough, ever since the video about Planned Parenthood went viral, our reproductive rights have been under attack. FYI Planned Parenthood is not selling fetal tissue, that video shows Planned Parenthood donating said tissue to science and research, a practice that is perfectly legal. The money that they collect is for preservation efforts and shipping costs. These donations are vital to fetal research that many people have benefited from. Somehow this video has been twisted beyond how horribly inaccurate it was when it was made, and has become the rallying cry of activists who was to make abortions illegal again, or at the very least defund Planned Parenthood.
Lawmakers, you know the people who should really know the most about the law, seem to forget that federal funding isn’t even used for abortions at Planned Parenthood, except for in the case of rape or incest. The money is used for women’s health services such as breast cancer screening, PAP tests, and STD screenings, along with general services like flu vaccines, diabetes screening, and physicals. Less than 3% of what they do relates to abortion. Even so, why are 50 something, rich, white men so concerned with my womb? My body. My Choice.
With the house recently voting to defund Planned Parenthood, it has become all the more real how at risk our rights are. Although the Senate is not likely to pass this bill, and even if they did Obama would most likely veto it, take this as a warning! We as feminists need to be proactive!
