The right to dash weh belly

Dear Lisa Hanna and the   youth group, The Jamaica Youth Advocacy Network (JYAN), I see what you are trying to say about the “outdatedness” of the “abortion law ” and the  rights of women but  some  of your arguments for the changing and the ultimate legalization of the act (abortion)   need to be revisited and subsequently discarded. The Offence Against the Persons Act , even though it states that abortion is illegal,  does allow it in cases of rape,incest,abnormal defects of fetus or danger to the mother. Changing, adjusting or legalizing  the abortion law or the act of undertaking to allow for termination of unplanned  and “unwanted” pregnancy because it contributes to poverty, is an argument that I personally think  is just plain ridiculous.

I do,however, agree that a woman should have the right to choose whether or not to bring forth a child in this world, but I do not agree with the utilization of the legalization of abortion as a means to  stem the  social problems of teenage pregnancy,crime and poverty.Why is that,  policy makers and law makers, always try to fix a problem rather than to prevent it? And why is it that  the  blame  is solely on the shoulders of the  inner-city  youths ?Is the problem not , extended to rural areas too?I know it does and so it’s time to stop picking out these teenagers and crucifying them as not every person that comes from the ghetto is a “bad seed’.

According to Madden (JYAN), a  research done  by his organization in 2005(nearly 10 years ago on approximatley  600 patients  at Ward  5 (‘abortion ward” ) at victoria Jubilee,) revealed that all person were from inner-city communities, single, and a third were teenagers,”.Additionally, about 40 per cent had a previous termination of pregnancy and 30 per cent had two or more previous abortions http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/news/Youth-group-calls-for-legalisation-of-abortion#ixzz2WhyG6Pft. Even though this is a small sample when compared the approximately 3 million people living in Jamaica, the  figure of 40% “repeat  offenders”  clearly paints  a telling picture :  the legalization of abortion WILL NOT solve the  social problem of teenage pregnancy or”unwanted pregnancy” and so  it is the imperative that “root” of these social  problems be  identified and addressed.

Rather than encourage our teenagers to have abortion because the  child is  going to be “unwanted” and will eventually not be cared for and thus left to be a criminal thereby contributing to  the  cycle of poverty , why not  consider the  making legislation from the following suggestions:

1. Make the use of chastity belt legal   and obligatory to wear  from  the start of  menses to the age of 18th.

2. Make it  mandatory by law for teenagers to  be given the one year injectable birth control. (the abstinence make sense campaign hasn’t done much  to prevent  teenage pregnancy so  divert the resources to this suggestion).

3.Make it legal for  carnal and Incest offenders to be castrated :).

4. Give the teenagers free lunch money and pocket money so that they stop having sex with the taxi drivers and sugar daddy for such.

5. “Invent”some deadly  teenage sexual transmitted disease ( that only teenagers get from having unprotected/protected sex as a means of deterrence,thereby scaring them into abstinence .

Such measures, though unconventional ,will  ultimately put a dent in the social problem of teenage pregnancy and subsequently the doing away of this “unwanted child phenomenon” that  you, Hannah spoke about.As far as, preventing unplanned and unwanted pregnancy for the rest of the population (18 and up),all mi haffi seh is dawg nyam fi suppa.

My pussy is not a charity

 

Jamaicans  are quite unique. There is nothing that a Jamaican cannot  Jamaicanize, You name it; dancing, singing, running and or course, begging, we will put a Jamaican twist to it and run with it.When it comes to freeness, be it near or far,  wi a di fuss one inna di line. We like money , we like to spend other peoples’ money. So we always  have someone a foreign  to beg  a change  , a barrel, a blackberry, if it exists and in style we want it and we a go beg it (with the exception of a few Independent Jamaican like myself)So, it is no surprise  that Jamaican men believe that charity extends to every  aspect of life,especially when it comes on to the pussy.Simply, dem have rights to every woman pussy because it is free for all, so any and every somebody can come join di line fi di freeness.

I recently had several, (not one , not two but SEVERAL ) run ins with some of these men  that I begin to wonder if there was some kind of mark on my forehead that said ‘ Welcome, if you are in  need , I am the one indeed”.On one occasion , the minute I got home a sat in front of the mirror and thoroughly examine whether the look of desperation was plastered all over my face,  if I looked  horny or if I had simply just grown uglier  because I just couldn’t figure out why these men believe that familiarity automatically translates into them being in my league and having the right to invite themselves for  a helping of MY PUSSY.It is not the mere invitation that gets me angry but constant, blatant, non hesitant demand being thrust upon me without them even taking  any time to consider that maybe the ring on my finger and the protruding stomach  are signs that translates to “OFF LIMITS” and not “SAFE TO PROCEED”.

How dare they think that because I take public transportation, walk the public streets amongst the masses that I automatically hand them a license to harass me, preposterous!!.I have no problem with them saying Hi, How are you and bye but not Hi, How are you, Can I come over for a ride?

Why is that they think that the dick is a gift from God and that I need it? Why on earth do they insist that I want to  have sex with them , inviting themselves for breakfast, lunch and dinner? Isn’t the serious, don’t fuck with me disgruntled  bitchy look that I wear on my face any indication that I want nothing to do with them?Of Course not! Why should it ?.

Yet they don’t even ask me for my number and don’t even know my first name and they don’t even tell their names because clearly I must know it already  because they  think they are that important to me.  But why should they  even get to know me when obviously they  heard through the grapevine that I was running a charity where there is no need to exchange names or qualifications since there is no form of classification or elimination. Or is it  simply that It was never about me  but their satisfaction, their innate right to the freeness between my legs , so I should just spread and lay  still on the bed.

 But I have news for them, I don’t run a ramping shop, a charity shop or a sex shop between my legs. I am not a teenager with hormones I can’t control so I won’t just smile and enjoy the ride for the free taxi ride or a lunch money.

My pussy is NOT a charity so your cock  will not be getting anywhere  near it , in it  now  an d for ever more , as long as I live so help me God
