=Title of Speech= Babies are evil.

=Text of Speech=

Babies are evil, we need to eradicate them. You think they are cute and simple, but I don't think any of you have experienced a crying child pull a knife on you. I digress. We obviously cannot get rid of babies, but I do think that overpopulation is becoming a big thing. I think that women need to get more of a choice with motherhood. From birth women are conditioned into growing up and starting a family. Maybe your parents will push you into getting a job and being successful, but ultimately, they want your grandchildren. Despite the advancements of our age, women in many countries still have no control over their reproductive rights. Countries in central Africa are filled with women too scared to use birth control, either because all the amazing missionaries told them it was a sin or they risk spousal abuse, which their tribe will justify. Men have an expectation of women to supply them 10 sons, and it's their fault if they don't, when men are the ones that supply the Y chromosome. Even in your perfect American society, women are still shamed for having sex yet are expected to have children. Even women breastfeeding in public is something of a problem. Why can’t mothers feed their own children without men freaking out about breasts in public. It’s pretty obvious who is being immature and impractical in this situation. Women can be trapped in an abusive relationship where they are forced into pregnancy. Abortions are a social stigma that people are trying to outlaw. Women need a way to control their body and make sure that unwanted children will not crowd the world. So many women fill hospitals because of botched abortion jobs done by themselves or alley way "doctors". I want to live in a world where women get to choose whether or not they have a child, despite it being influence from society or a husband that deems women unfit for anything other than raising children. I want to live in a world where couples outside of heterosexuality are accepted. A woman may not want a husband, a woman may not want anyone. Even in a same sex relationship, people still assume the women want children, they ask which one is the man of the relationship, assuming that women always want a man in their life and that even in a same sex relationship, they have to abide by the heterosexual rules of a man working and a woman looking after the children. A woman living her life her own way should not upset a man. It only looks bad when men have to get loud to show their control over a woman’s reproductive and personal choices. I want to live in a world where polygamy is acceptable. And I’m not talking about the gross old men with ten wives, I’m talking about couples that communicate and express their love. Polygamous relationships are proven to be much healthier than monogamous, there was an article about it which I enjoyed and is linked with my speech. When people communicate and LISTEN, that is when good stuff happens. Only when men settle down, will they realize how silly it is to impose their ideas on women they have never met. Motherhood is sacred and beautiful, but women should not be forced into it. Mothers should raise their children to be whoever they want. Mothers should make sure that their children do not become the next generation of misogynists. Parents should raise their children as children, not as pink and blue. People should treat humans like humans and not as a mother or a worker. In the world I grow old in I do not wish to be pigeonholed because I am a woman. I want to be as damn successful as I want and not have my authority undermined because I am capable of bearing children. I want men to know that the vagina is extremely powerful and could crush a penis with it’s muscles. I want people to realize pussy does not mean weak. In this world I want to see happy mothers, not mothers chained to their home with five children and another on the way.
