Women can only have sex in approved ways. Denying contraceptives is punishment for having sex outside approved ways. Getting pregnant is further punishment. The neo Nazi Christians ultimate control over reproductive rights. And they are determined to achieve their goals by any means possible. What they want is a political veiling of women that echoes the physical veiling of women like radical Islamic sects.
Taken to its extremes these same religionists will demand dress modestly. I just do not believe the women understand the breadth of this effort and how dangerous it is. Remember some GOPPERS have actually said women should NOT vote. Any women who votes for a GOPPER really needs their head examined.

(10,103 posts)This is a really obscene verdict. Yes, I hear the drums....dressing modestly, staying inside the home to look after the children, women shouldn't vote.........and yes, we will go down that path if we don't stand up.
As it is, the government has been taken over by corporations. If we blend the corporations with the religious right, life is going to get very difficult for a long time.

Eventually man or woman, you will have exactly what freedom, rights, and liberties as you can afford. No more and maybe more frightening, no less.
They didn't ban birth control.
They didn't ban it from coverage.
It is golden rule shit, he who has the gold makes the rules.
Don't worry they will become more "enlightened" once they have established a lot of horrid precedents and spread forced medical testing and assorted indignities on males in time, at least those of us without the gold.

(20,755 posts)We've ALWAYS been told:
Who we can/can't have sex with.
Lists of requirements to meet in order to have "licit" sex with an approved partner.
What sexual activities are permitted, and which ones aren't.
What's expected of us in terms of appearance and demeanor, in order to indicate we're complying with these requirements.
And reams of other bullshit crap aimed at controlling us.
Nothing new here. Nothing new at all.
Been going on for millenia.
It's a long struggle, not a new one.
The only thing that ever changes is the rate of increments of progress, and the size and power of the backlash.
realistically,
