I don't think they give a second thought to women because women do not matter to these people. Kids don't matter. All that really matters is them running things they way they want them which is to say to maintain some mythical status quo, where everyone can pull themselves up from their bootstraps and achieve, because America allows this for everyone because its powerful and creates a level playing field. These people live in some fantasy world. I really don't get them at all. I also don't get why we keep even talking to them as if they are logical and rational. The court ruled its done. Let's be about the business of working on this economy and solving our other problems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-32696716375000806502010-01-26T14:37:27.096-06:002010-01-26T14:37:27.096-06:00Amen.

You said it best:<br /><br /><i>The thing is, these anti-choicers don’t want to trust women.<br />Trusting women means respecting women and respecting women means acknowledging all of our rights and acknowledging all that would threaten those in power.</i><br /><br />Yes. They want to control us by telling us we can only have sex for reproduction. That if we have sex for pleasure, then we need to "man up" and live with the consequences. They want to keep us down with forced births, as if that's a good situation to raise a kid in.<br /><br />Ack. Went on a rant.
