22. As a woman I MUST take issue with something he said...
Edited on Sun Oct-29-06 12:33 PM by cui bono
First of all, don't call someone who is anti-abortion pro-life. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Secondly, how is someone being anti-abortion advocating equal rights for all? That is denying a woman her rights. Her right to privacy, her right to control her own body, her right to control her own life. And remember, this doesn't only apply to an actual abortion. The anti-abortion movement is also against Plan B, going so far as to recruit people to be pharmacists just so they can deny giving it out even though that is their job and have been ordered by courts to do so. Then there are those who teach abstinence only which studies have shown actually increase pregnancy while denying teens the right to knowledge of how to avoid pregnancy. And let's not forget the extemists who bomb health clinics and murder doctors.

While I agree with all that is said about gay rights, I, for one, will not applaud that post until equal rights are given to all groups, including heterosexual women.
