Let me see if I've got this straight
My right to marry another woman is not to be questioned, because it's an inviolable equal human right to register one's couplehood with the state so that one can enjoy the social and economic advantages single people don't get. To disagree with this is illiberal and unprogressive.

My right to an abortion, well, maybe that's a different story.

Excuse me, but what the fuck am I looking at?

1. It's easy to explain. In *'s America, if you're a woman and get
knocked up, you lose your civil rights until you give birth.

5. Now you got the concept. Only the government can torture your
"baby", not you.

2. It's open season on women. I guess....
We are ranked a lot lower on the spectrum than we knew -I'm beginning to realize.

I'm still in shock that it's apparently ok with the majority of the public and the media that fetuses lives are now deemed more important than women's. I knew it was always that way with the right wing - but what shocks me is the silence and the lack of concern amongst others.

4. I don't believe the majority feel that way, the media portrays it that way...
the powers that be want the little woman back where she belongs simply because women ask more questions then men and they hate that..
