One in ten men say it’s OK to hit a woman if she makes him angry: Alberta survey
http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/03/13/1-in-10-men-says-its-ok-to-hit-a-woman-if-she-makes-him-angry-alberta-survey/

“Nearly one in 10 Alberta men believes it’s OK to physically assault a woman if she does something to make him angry.”

“That’s one of the startling findings of a recent survey examining men’s attitudes toward domestic violence…”

“Fifty-two per cent of men surveyed said they believe a woman can leave a violent relationship if she really wants to, while only 52 per cent disagreed with the statement, ‘If a woman wears provocative clothing, she’s putting herself at risk for rape.’”

“Thirteen per cent of the survey respondents said domestic violence is not as serious if it results from people getting so angry they temporarily lose control. And eight per cent, nearly one in 10 of the men surveyed, did not agree that it’s never acceptable to physically assault a woman if she did something to incite the anger.”

Afghan President Endorses Shocking ‘Code of Conduct’ for Women That Allows Wife-Beating

Spanking and Genetics May Increase Childhood Aggression
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/03/120305132250.htm

“A study co-authored by UT Dallas criminologist Dr. J.C. Barnes shows that the risk of problem behavior during childhood — particularly for boys — is greatly increased if children have genetic predispositions for these behaviors and if they are spanked by their parents…”

“‘Males who were spanked and had the highest genetic risks displayed the most aggressive behavior compared to other males.’”

I can totally understand the male/female difference in responding to spanking. If they studied further, I would bet that the women grow up to be abused by men.

The Pill Is Not Good for Women
http://www.nationalreview.com/blogs/print/291514

“Women on the whole disproportionately bear the burden of the new sexual regime. They are expected to dose themselves with a Group 1 carcinogen for approximately two-thirds of their fertile years. They sustain greater emotional costs from casual sex. They are at greater risk of contracting STDs and disproportionately suffer from their long-term consequences, such as cervical cancer and fertility loss.And even after 50 years with the Pill, as many as half of all pregnancies are still unintended. Women, not men, must make the heart-wrenching choice between abortion, reckoned a tragic outcome even by its supporters, and bearing a child with little to no paternal support. After all, since children were negotiated out of the bargain by the availability of contraception and abortion, men have secured a strong rationale to simply ignore or reject pregnancies that result from uncommitted sexual relations. Nobel-laureate economist George Akerlof predicted nearly two decades ago that this would lead directly to the feminization of poverty, as it ruefully has…”

“Contrary to a popular misconception, the alternative to the contraceptive revolution is not to roll back the clock on women’s advancement, and certainly not to promote a physically and emotionally taxing outcome in which women have as many children as biologically possible. Rather, the alternative to contraception is to respect biological asymmetry, heal the wound between the sexes, and expect more from men.”

I’ve been saying this for years. So thankful others recognize this truth. This is an EXCELLENT article. Click through to read the whole thing. The following quotes are exactly what I believe.

Abortion enslaves women in order to free men from responsibility
http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/abortion-enslaves-women-in-order-to-free-men-from-responsibility

“…Abortion is oppressive because it is a mechanism that allows men to be free of responsibility; they now have an easy out when a woman becomes pregnant. The problem is that it is only easy for the man; he simply has to come up with the money and his part is over. The woman is the one who must walk into that clinic and undergo a violent and invasive procedure as her pre-born child is dismembered and torn from her body.”

“Abortion does not free women; it holds them in bondage to a society that teaches women that killing their child is a form of love and mercy.”

“This is a so-called ‘choice’ that lies to women and tells them their own child is nothing more than an inconvenience and a parasite. Pregnancy is not a sickness or condition that needs to be fixed, it is the state of being with child. When a woman is pregnant she is not pregnant with a ‘potential human being,’ she is pregnant with an actual human being in the earliest stages of that human’s development cycle…”

…Abortion is a lie that tells women to sacrifice their own child and then robs them of one of the most amazing parts of being a woman: motherhood. The bond between mother and child is such a special connection; abortion destroys that bond and denies the mother and child their relationship…”

“…Abortion enslaves women to a world where men can dominate and control them so the men can be free. It is sad that men have been able to turn the argument around and make women think it is about their freedom when it is about men not having to be men and raise and support their child. Men scare women into thinking abortion is their only option and as a man I am disgusted by the oppression other men have perpetrated by pushing women to kill their own children…”

“…The fact remains that abortion is an unnatural response to one of nature’s most precious gifts to women. Abortion is does not affirm women, it reduces their pregnancy to a disease that needs a cure. Abortion does not free women; it holds them in bondage to a society that teaches women that killing their child is a form of love and mercy.”

“The true freedom of a woman is the freedom to be a mother without shame, without scrutiny and without men pressuring them to ‘fix it’ or ‘get it taken care of.’ The beauty of motherhood and childbirth should be celebrated and looked at as one of the greatest achievements of womanhood. The last time I checked, there is not a man on earth who can even come close to this achievement…”

When celebrating the 39th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, Barack Obama said,

“I remain committed to protecting a woman’s right to choose and this fundamental constitutional right… While this is a sensitive and often divisive issue—no matter what our views, we must stay united in our determination to prevent unintended pregnancies, support pregnant woman and mothers, reduce the need for abortion, encourage healthy relationships, and promote adoption.” Barack Obama

What exactly is wrong with abortion that the rate needs to be reduced?

“And as we remember this historic anniversary, we must also continue our efforts to ensure that our daughters have the same rights, freedoms, and opportunities as our sons to fulfill their dreams.” Barack Obama

What daughter wants to build her dreams on the memory of having killed her own unborn child? How is that equality? Abortion = one dead, one wounded, and one free to continue to sexually exploit. Abortion gives men the right to “use” women without consequences. Abortion exists so men can pursue a lifestyle of sexual irresponsibility without accountability. Abortion exploits women. Men (partners and even doctors) often coerce women into believing that abortion is the only solution. Abortion provides an easy out for the man, certainly not for the woman. Women are often coerced into having abortions. Women are being deceived at the most basic level. The woman is deliberately deceived about the abortion itself, its effects on her and on her living, growing child. After being used by men, women are then violated with the abortion cover-up. Abortion is a violent act against both the mother and the child.

Speaking of the dreams of our daughters, Barack Obama, don’t you know that we have known for YEARS that unborn babies dream?! Literally!! Why don’t they have the “same rights, freedoms, and opportunities”?

“Using ultrasound techniques, it was first shown that REM (rapid eye movements) which are characteristic of active dream states have been demonstrated at 23 weeks.” J. Birnhaltz, “The Development of Human Fetal Eye Movement Patterns,” Science, 1981, vol. 213, pp. 679-681

“REM have since been recorded 17 weeks after conception.” S. Levi, Brugman University of Brussels, American Medical Association News, February 1, 1983

Words of Death: It’s a Girl
http://liveaction.org/blog/words-of-death-its-a-girl/

WHAT is this CHOICE they talk about???

Baby Melinda was one of the smallest babies ever born, and her family rejoiced today as she went home from the hospital for the first time. She was born four months early weighing only 9.5 oz. … Meanwhile, on another wing of the hospital, choices are made to end the lives of other babies – just as human, just as precious, often bigger than Melinda.
