Pro choice stitching
With a capital CHOICE!
This is the latest cross stitch from Rachel and it’s certainly created a wee stir. Which is good to see! I think my favourite comment from the long discussion on her post would be this one:
I’m anti-abortion…
but until all the more than half million or whatever kids in foster care are love, cherished and adopted…
and until BOYS (cause real men don’t force themselves on a woman) stop forcing themselves on women…
and until parents start treating all the children they already have as the precious beings they are…
and until the children with the raging hormones learn to manage their feelings…
I will remain PRO-CHOICE!
Amen sister!
And this is all very appropriate timing for us in Melbourne as the decriminalisation bill is almost at it’s third reading. Those of you who care about this might want to drop a line to your local representative and give them your view. Some people think this law change is going to increase the abortion rates, where the reality is that the law change is just going to make the law fit in with current reality. Which means better regulations to better protect women’s reproductive health. That can’t be a bad thing.
Hey and speaking of woman-inspired cross stitch, Cat’s got ANOTHER pattern out! Grab it here.
Anyone else out there got any prochoice crafts to share?
