Gay men seeking abortions
No, I won’t say it with you.
No they’re not. Abortion rights are women’s rights. Men don’t need them. Men’s lack of need for them is what frees them up to play football and boss women around.
Abortion rights are of course lesbian rights and bi women’s rights, and they’re rights for women who call themselves men, but they’re not gay men’s rights, because, again, men don’t need them.
Men don’t need them in more than one way – that is, there’s more than one way men don’t need them. Men don’t need abortion rights because men can’t get pregnant, and also because men aren’t the subordinate sex. The two are entangled. The ability to get pregnant is primary, but the social status, the power differential, the hierarchy is definitely the engine.
I detect a strong tone of bullying subjugation in HRC’s statement. I could be wrong, but I doubt other groups’ advocacy orgs are putting out tweets with such wording that could be interpreted as claiming ownership over abortion rights. But that’s par for the course for the gender movement: its objective is to annex and then dismantle anything that has to do with biological sex. First, they took over gay rights orgs, which, save for LGB Alliance, have been completely assimilated by the Gender Borg and are now overtly hostile to actual homosexuals like me. Now it’s abortion’s turn.
Any marginalized group that counts women within its population has an overlap with abortion rights, so of course it’s reasonable that advocates for those groups would state an allegiance with abortion rights. In that sense, abortion rights are African American women’s rights, disabled women’s rights, women labourers’ rights. But because abortion is centrally about biological sex, gender lobbies see this issue as a threat and a territory that must be conquered. It’s not an allegiance; it’s a hostile takeover, and that shows in the wording these groups are using. Abortion can’t be seen as about women’s rights because sex must never be acknowledged, so abortion must be seen as inseparable from and central to the gender movement instead. And look how far they’ve already gotten: by now almost no one will dare use the words “woman” or “women” when talking in public about abortion rights, thereby putting the concept of people’s made-up gender identities firmly in the centre and pushing biological sex off to the side in terms of which people are most affected by abortion restrictions. Abortion rights are LGBTQ+ rights, NOT women’s rights. By omitting the word women altogether, the emphasis is shifted.
A few years ago, before Graham Linehan got mired in the gender mess, he and his wife Helen were deeply involved in Ireland’s Repeal The Eighth abortion referendum campaign, and he’s talked about how puzzled he was when the people with the megaphones at pro-choice rallies started including “…and trans women are women!” in their otherwise strictly abortion-related slogans and speeches. That was only the beginning.
Resistance is futile.
