Morning After Pill in Chile Stirs Debate

The morning after pill in Chile is causing a debate to erupt. The Catholic Church believes it's a form of abortion. Conservatives think it's wrong to give the pill to women and girls. People argue that it's promoting sexual activity. Yet while they're bitching and moaning about it, they're not even taking into consideration that children are having children. They're not taking into consideration that some of the people receiving these pills are victims of rape. But why the hell would they care about that? After all, isn't bearing children a woman's purpose in life? Who cares how you become pregnant!! Just have the damn baby because otherwise you're a murderer!!

We live in a screwed up world when a church thinks it can dictate what is moral and what is not. We live in a screwed up world when a church and other people think it's okay to force women and girls to have babies that they don't want. We live in a screwed up world when a church and other people condone rape if a pregnancy is involved. They may not openly condone it. However, by saying that the woman or child should have that baby even if they were raped, they're condoning the rape. We live in a screwed up world when a church and other people think that they have a right to control our lives, and go so far as to think that they have a right to control our bodies.
