Thank you.

>It's erosion of human rights of the women, starting from the end where the propaganda can rouse up the sensitivities and paint the defenders of freedoms as butchers. The other liberties will be much easier later - you have been accomplices on this one, there's no stepping back now. If you think banning abortion is the end of it, then letting them be doctors or lawyers is just as bad, because these lawyers were defending abortionist doctors who were also women or pro-choice or pro-fem themselves... if you let them take any male job it's as if you have... etc etc, I can imagine what filth the propaganda may dig up.

>All the stuff I lined out after "next thing you know" have happened in cultures where Christian faith ruled - by either having the king's power derived from divine blessing, or by virtue of having a state faith, or by simply having that sort of tradition - and that was before the women's liberation (which still isn't quite finished).

>I dislike abortion because it's traumatic and because I think it can be avoided in most cases, by means of contraception. But that's where the right wing and I part ways in this dislike: they are against it, substantially, because it gives the women the freedom of which they are afraid. A free woman, which can choose when, whether and with whom to have offspring, is not a sheep in need of a shepherd. She may even become economically independent, and that in sufficient numbers to shake the balance of power. Which has already started happening all over the world for the last forty or eighty or hundred plus some years - various places, various degrees, various timings, same whole.

>Now these guys would want to revert all that - not by openly saying "women should be re-enslaved" nor "women should not have any say in these matters", no, they paint it as a battle for life. You may buy it because they have swept the trace leading to this. But this is not 1984, history is not changing with each new edition of Pravda/WallmartStreeetJournal, and it can not be erased. And while a lot can be said about the wheel of history, one is sure: it's knowing hard to make it spin backwards.
