Natural rights pre-empt man made rights

The attempt to interfere with women's natural and biological right to perform the function for which they alone are capable, the ability to bear children, must be the ultimate male misogynistic insult. Making child birth a hardship by failure to support the programs that honor this unique female capability is the equivalent to exclude females from society, and make them irrelevant to survival of human culture. Forcing them to choose work over the poverty of having children and putting children at risk is a total conversion of the natural order of the universe. Preventing them from caring for the children they make and to insure the safety of the children they have is dangerous to both, and favors the imperialistic pursuit of profits over the validation of mankind. Accepting a 50% divorce rate putting women in poverty, and accepting gay marriage threatens to turn mankind into an exercise of convenience and comfortable lifestyle rather than dignify the principles of creation by honoring the natural right of females to sexuality, to prevention, and to pregnancy as their biological right by virtue of their biological makeup. Ignoring that choice, women have been made little more than pawns in the industrial machine through which men justify the pursuit of profits to the exclusion of all else, and not intended to become the foundation of family formation and sustainability. When women are urged to find comfort in female companionship rather than male companionshp, the basic Godly contract of natural creation has been altered. Preventing women from sustainable work that puts them and their children at risk ignores the basic right of all human beings basic survival rights, and part of the larger scheme of ignoring those rights in favor of imperialistic schemes.
