I am woman, hear me roar!Feminists, wanting to rid themselves of the 'weaker sex' label, fought to be seen as strong, as being able to confront adversity head on and not conforming to societys dictates: "I am woman, hear me roar!" But ... should she fall pregnant when conditions are not perfect, suddenly she is weak and 'cant cope with another child', 'cant face raising a child without a partner' or 'cant afford it'. Implied in this is that women do not have any capacity to handle adversity without resorting to killing. The pro-abortion lobby consider women such poor decision-makers, so fragile and easily confused that they need not be provided with information relevant to their future health. The implication is that women are helpless, empty-headed, cowardly, submissive and hysterical. In medical practice information re detrimental physical/psychic effects and particularly medical risks are not provided as likely to "compound the problem of medical attendance, increase patients anxiety and intrude upon physicians' exercise of proper professional judgement." In a brief to the US Supreme Court, a physician claimed: "In medical practice there are few surgical procedures given so little attention and so underrated in its potential hazards as abortion. The womans ambivalence is dismissed, risks downplayed and any real discussion of foetal characteristics/alternatives avoided. The only medical procedure where normal requirements for informed consent prior to undergoing medical procedure are suspended. Courts have disallowed printed information on foetal development because it would confuse/punish her and heighten her anxiety." Abortion is part of the female-body-as-recreational-object syndrome. The idea is that a man can use a woman, vacuum her out, and she is ready to be used again. Ready abortion legitimises male irresponsibility and paves the way for even more male detachment and lack of commitment.
