What is it with people and making crazy ass assumptions out of things I say? I was watching the pre-elections earlier from the States and as I was watching it just hit me that so many of the candidates that are running are against abortion or does not believe in evolution and they are really open about it and uses this to get votes. I think this is scary. So I made a tweet about it. Later I get this tweet from some randomer who is really pissed off and telling me that I have no right to say stuff like that because abortion is legal everywhere and that Sweden is not perfect (they brought up the fact that Sweden has a law that says that transgender persons have to be sterilized, which I think is rather crazy, it’s funny how this law has been around since 1972 but it just got current right now because someone dug it up) so I should watch what I say.
My first reaction is, what the hell are you talking about? A. I never said Sweden was perfect B. So just because Sweden is not perfect I am not allowed to voice my opinion over something C. It is not like this is a lie or some insane statement, it’s the truth. D. What has this trandsgender law even have to do with this? I said that presidential candidates in the States uses abortion as a tool to get votes. No candidate who is up for becoming prime minster in Sweden would EVER use this transgender law as a tool to get votes. So I don’t see how it is even relevant to what I tweeted other than pointing out that Sweden is not perfect which is something I never said. Why even bring it up? Also Sweden might not be perfect but when it comes down to LGBT rights we are LIGHT YEARS ahead of most countries in the world, also because this transgender thing has become an issue I am about 100% sure that the government will work on a solution, because we might not be perfect but at least we try.
Also, as this person pointed out I am also pretty sure that LOADS of presidents around the world are against abortion BUT, I could be wrong here, only in the States has this issue really become a HUGE vote winning point and a tool that is used in debates and discussions and this is what I am worried about. Taking a life is wrong, but taking away the right to choose is even worse. I have lived in Ireland were abortion is illegal, it is not good and it causes more harm than it does good. We have to have a right to choose. Also during the time I lived in Ireland I saw two elections for Taoiseach and even if abortion rights is a HUGE issue in Ireland I never saw the candidates use it in their debates, nor was their opinion about it a main focus for who people should vote for.
Oh Lord now I drifted off topic a little, but yeah there you have it. I seriously do not understand how people have the time to find stuff like this and tweet back and start shit over nothing, it’s the second time now in less than a month. Maybe I am the problem, I am just too opinionated I guess ^^
If you wish to respond do so in a civilized manner, I am not aggressive here nor am I in someone’s face so I ask for the same courtesy from all of you…
