I never thought of comparing a fetus to a parasite. It’s a powerful metaphor, that should get people’s attention. The fact that the right wing evangelical christians have been “pro life” (yet pro death penalty) and against birth control shows ignorance. Especially when they won’t commit to protecting the rights of the woman, or to provide care for both mother and child. I advocate that if you’re pro life, you should sponsor a child until they’re 18. Bringing a sense of humanity. Finally, to realize and accept what a woman goes through in the medical/psychological aspect. Health issues trump an ancient ideology.
Thank you for your subscription and your comments. Indeed--but it really isn't a metaphor,. A fetus is a parasite until it isn't. Try reading my article "War in the Womb", that's what happens in a human pregnancy....yikes!
