A Pro-Choicer's 'You Betcha' Moment

The Daily Texan, the student newspaper from my beloved alma mater, The University of Texas, headlined the Palin speech as Abortion foes fired up by Palin and included a photo of 3 lackadaisical female protesters.

The lasses had the usual phoned-in, hand-made posters displaying the obligatory hanger and "if the embryo" and "choice" statements. The paper went on to note that while 900 had responded to the Facebook promo to protest the Palin appearance, less than 50 actually showed up and a majority of them were men.

Which of course leads me to ask - when it comes to a woman's right to "choose", why is a man's opinion considered not important or relevant? But, if the man is supportive and encouraging of a woman's "right to abort", his opinion is valued and welcomed? So, am I to assume that SUPPORT for abortion is the deciding factor as to whether a man's opinion is relevant or not? You betcha!

I guess when your moral compass has no inclination or notion of where north really is, you can pretty much go anywhere without worrying whether you've arrived at the right destination - cause every destination is right!

Onward!
