To discuss and even to have to ask for the freedom for abortion is humiliating and ridiculous. To woman, it’s self-evident that no-one or none of the laws should constrain her right to use her body as she wishes.
In the analogue world, religious societies forced their members to increase the population in order to produce foot soldiers to fight on behalf of God. In addition, after the first industrial revolution, capitalist countries increased their populations for the sake of cheap labour. İn the digital world, there is no need to increase the population of men and women.
Woman’s body is more complex and sophisticated in design than one-dimensionally minded man. The vectorial sum of emotions, desires and perceptions related to the senses, and the analysing and synthesising capability of woman, is not well studied by men’s science. It is also neglected by religions. By underestimating the complexity of woman’s body, religious-minded man considers woman’s body to be a reproduction factory. Woman’s body comprises both the reproduction factory and the labourer within.
In the digital world women will decide, for themselves, how to use their bodies without having to take account of men’s dictates and laws. So women are the only ones who will decide whether or not to have children. It won’t be their husbands or lovers or fathers or the law-makers or the moral arbiters or those who speak for God, who decide. Having a child won’t be the ‘natural’ result of sexual activity.
