Re: Al-Azhar says women pregnant by rape must abort baby
Why are you blaming the West for rape? Please do not suggest it is a an act that the Western “lower moral societies” are promoting onto the holy East.
I’ve been to Pakistan a number of times. Your average Pakistani is not subject to well-applied laws. Your average Pakistani is not sent to school where they COULD possibly be taught to respect the opposite sex. Your average Pakistani is sent to a Madrassah, if they’re lucky, and most are more preoccupied with getting their students to memorize the Quran, only minimally discussing women issues.
This is not restricted to Pakistan - its everywhere in the muslim world. Its actually everwhere in impoverished nations, and WHY is it that nearly every muslim country falls into this bracket??
We have a great deen. We have a book with guidance directly from God. STOP trying to discourage society to take on certain cures for problems, because you’re worried about who’s doing who in the pind. There are separate interventions for those issues that you could be applying. Instead of trying to seek a compromise, you’re suggesting that we tightly restrict the use of the one thing women might have a chance at avoiding even the MERE decision of an abortion. You’re putting women in a majboori, by saying that soceity should not distribute the pill more openly and that society shouldn’t EDUCATE women more about the pill (God forbid, they might actually use it for other purposes like family planning! I mean, you know, every family should have a blasted cricket team even if it kills the woman), and this majboori LEADS women to have to even CONTEMPLATE getting illegal abortions - which not only kill a life, but also put her own life at risk for death.
All for what? Because we’re worried about Paindoo and Pinky who want to get it on in the keths?
Peace again
Society should educate women to keep company and teach them self-defense and teach all the males to be vigilant and lay their security down to ensure the security of others in their communities. That is the best solution it is much better than that providing a pill.
