Colombian Marxist Rebel Group takes 'Pro-Choice' to the next level
In a piece titled, "In A Rebel Camp in Colombia, Marx and Free Love Reign," The New York Times describes sexual relations between FARC rebels as something that merely requires the "permission" of a "commander." The Washington Post subsequently points out the troubling nature of such hierarchical relationships in pointing out that women fighters get certain "special privileges like a ‘staff’ job, better food, alcohol or medical treatment, ability to have children and leave them with their families rather than with complete strangers, or the commuting of a court-martial sentence." The Post even cites the account of a young FARC fighter who was told she was going to a doctor for a check-up regarding her pregnancy and walked out only realizing afterward that her pregnancy had been terminated without her consent.
