There also is a treatment that stops patients from becoming pregnant. My wife with Stage 4 cancer is going through one and it's by her choice. It's not an abortion. In fact it's even worse. But she chose it for her life. As her partner I respect her choice 💯 percent.
It's about hormone-eating breast cancer. They feed on estrogens. So Leuprin injection is used to induce forced menopause, effectively 'killing' the chance of becoming pregnant. Only women has to go through this ordeal; to forsaken their reproductive rights in order to survive.
So if any healthy woman has a choice to become pregnant or not, it's her given right by birth to make that choice and no other person can deny or force their will on her. No law should govern this but only support it to allow either choice to be taken. That's a civilized world.
And it really infuriates me when a religious faith intervenes with this birth right. Just like what this woman said here. Every word of it resonates with me. No religious faith should dictate what a woman choses to do or not do with her body. #RoeVsWade
And it pains me to recognize that our own laws are also dictated by religious doctrine that justified patriarchal values. Our law states that any form of abortion needs the consent of the pregnant woman AND HER SPOUSE. jaog.or.jp/qa/confinement…
So in our nation🇯🇵, a man's right to dictate a woman's choice supercedes that of her own, because our law is based on a Meiji-era patriarchal values that place men as master of household responsibilities and decisions. So to a large degree, our nation shares the same issue.
The foundation of any religious faith is based on patriarchal values (of course some will disagree & profess they are better than others).
"I may be vanished for doing this, but this is the reality of being a maiko. At 16, I was forced to drink tons of alcohol & bathe with my customers (I escaped). Tell me if this passes as a 'traditional culture'. The photo shows me winning a drinking match against a customer."/1

"Hard to believe this was in 2017. I might get killed for tweeting this, but nothing will change unless someone lets this out. I didn't want to keep quiet about others attempting suicide or going mental like every single year. Kyoto's a scary place. But don't get mad at me ♡"/2
