Reproductive Rights
The Childless Woman
There are not too many women with the option to decide whether or not she would like to be a mother.
Many women make the decision that motherhood may not be their strongest suit and decide that being a trophy wife or to be a career oriented woman is the lifestyle that she prefers.
These labels may very complimentary for some women while others may find it offensive as many of us have a preference in our lifestyle because of the decisions we tend to make for ourselves rather than for us.
Unfortunately, as I've said at the very beginning, not many women do have the right to choose.
Some women do not live a life of freedom to choose their fate or to decide what is best for their life.
Culture & Freedom of Choice
As a result, women with fewer rights, women with less choice may either enjoy this or suffer traumatically.
Oftentimes, it isn't always the force of politics but rather due to family dynamics.
A family may have a very strong hold the women in the household. However, this isn't to clearly discuss culture or politics or to say which family is right & which family is wrong. Women do indeed have rights in first world nations; that is the very least to say in the event should a woman ever feel that she has no control over her life due to abuse such as: financial abuse, emotional abuse, or any other crippling issues that she may face due to her dependence on her family since culture has always been the epicenter of her life.
Hopefully, such a woman, if she is reading this blog, may you find the resources you need to advocate for your life and on your behalf so that you may live your best life.
There are also women with the option of going to college and graduating, eventually opening doors to a career. Once she had adapted to the workplace and the responsibilities of adulthood, whether she is living alone or with a roommate. Her independence is very meaningful to her, she then decides whether or not at her age and the stage in her career if she is willing & prepared to live a life in which she is able to bare and care for a child. During this time of opportunity, she must also choose a partner if she has the option to do so. To have a child is a very intimate decision, it is a very personal decision. Many women decide to have a child or not have a child. They must also consider what the response of their partner is, is this partner just a lover? is this partner just a friend? is it a significant other? is it a spouse? a fiance? who is this partner & are they ready for a child?
Career Centered
The next sort of woman is the career woman--she has a career and she lives, eats & breathes her career. She is focused on taking care of herself while also scheduling in everything that is enrichment and everything that is empowering to her career. She has a healthy sex life and she's focused and determined to succeed in every way possible. She pops her birth control at a certain time each day, goes to a discounted fitness class thanks to a handy app & she's got her diplomas framed right above her fireplace from her high end walk-up apartment. She may or may not share this living environment with a fellow roommate--possibly a former classmate or possibly someone else she has just met through an app or a mutual friend or even a social gathering.
It is absolutely not to offend any of the women mentioned above because like every other girl, no gal enjoys an unpleasant label without first hearing her side of the story, as in, a personal introduction of who she is & what she loves most about her lifestyle.
Misc.
Then there's the woman that has finished college or almost done with college, sitting in her apartment staring at her pregnancy results while on the phone with her boyfriend as her jaw drops to the floor. She may or may not have a career. Maybe she's starting out her own business, or maybe this was an arranged marriage. Maybe she just came to the country to get a degree or for a job until she had met someone and now she's pregnant. Does she keep the baby? Does she go to a clinic & seek an alternative option? What does she do?
It is her decision what she does or does not do.
At very least, in first world nations, we attempt to make sure that in fact, it is a woman's basic human right to have access to emergency contraceptives.
If we, as women, enjoy sex then we must also respect that our bodies are made to reproduce.
Our bodies can create a human life & if you choose to or not to have a child--that is your decision.
