I wish I could have named this post something like “Is It Really Possible to be so Willfully Ignorant?”. But as we all know Lori Alexander of The Transformed Wife makes up odd ideas by taking scriptures out of context so often the answer is sadly a resounding yes. Yesterday Lori spoke of how men did it all, yet women disrespect them continually. Women invented abortion, men invented everything else.

I guess Lori skipped ‘Hidden Figures’ and ignores the ranks of female scientists, architects, doctors and inventors anyone with Google can easily access. Her father needs to bring a law suit against whatever university Lori attended because she clearly learned nothing. It was a waste of his money. A large refund is in order.

First Lori starts with the idea that women are taking advantage of all the cool stuff men do, like butcher meat, farm animals, building houses, well you get the drift. These are all things that apparently Lori labors under the idea that you must have a penis to invent, build, or labor.

Then we end up here, with sex yet again. I swear, church people think and talk more about sex than the average adolescent boy. Why does everything in their world always boil down to sex?

While women may have invented that suction device it’s largely meaningless compared to the history of abortion. Abortion has been around for one very long time, to the beginning of history. It wasn’t even illegal in our country until the 1800s. But that never stopped anyone. I have seen statistics that indicated that by as many as 20 to 25 percent of pregnancies were ended up abortion. It wasn’t even that difficult to do, abortifacients were easily available labeled as various tonics for ‘female trouble’

You cannot tell anyone with any level of certainty that most abortions are female invented or created. All these patent medicines were undoubtedly invented and made by men in factories built by men. That’s not even mentioning the loss of infant life at the hands of male doctors.

If I could I would force Lori to take a long stroll through one of the Smithsonians, I believe it was the American History Museum. At one point they had a display of life in the late 1700s. Explanations of day to day life and the implements needed.

The most horrific display was a male doctor’s special childbirth kit. Not only did it include things like forceps and speculums, there were other items to make one cringe. I remember pointing items out to the docent and asking what they were for. There were various devices to crush the bones of an infant, and pull it out, piece by piece, should something go wrong in the delivery, in an effort to spare the mother’s life by ending the child’s. Implements, all designed, made and used by men.

Let’s get this straight, both men and women have invented items and used them, for abortion or not. It’s not a one-sided simplistic divide like Ms. Alexander says here. She would be well served to at the very least do more research on things before just spewing them out.
