CHILDLESSNESS
Evidently one political party endorses the view that a childless
woman, expanded to a childless couple, doesn’t deserve a role in determining
the fate of America.
Having a history involving this concept, I can offer a
personal opinion.
This is a political stand of almost unbelievable cruelty.
We, my life’s partner and I, produced no children in our
marriage. Once, we were on the path, but a miscarriage ended the process and no
further attempts proved successful.
If Cult members could see the look on the face of a woman
who has just seen the process of motherhood fail, would it change their minds?
I doubt it. Cults demand the repudiation of empathy as much
as they do reason.
There is a larger picture here, though. A couple having
suffered through a miscarriage or a failure to procreate doesn’t represent the
only childless Americans.
Men have had the opportunity to avoid the responsibility of
parenthood for years. Women haven’t. Now they face opprobrium by their personal
decision. That should lose the cult half the vote in an election.
It won’t. Cults demand obedience to doctrine over any sense
of personhood.
Finaly, the Cult accepts, by non-refutation, the concept that
those who have no children don’t deserve the honor of having a stake in the future of America.
Really?
