The War on Peons Fucking at Pandagon

The War on Peons Fucking at Pandagon: "So there you have it–anti-choicers are anti-sex all right, but they’re also anti-marriage, anti-child and anti-woman in real life terms, not in airy, abstract religious horseshit terms. They want sex to be a point of tension, not joy, in couples’ lives. They want children to be so numerous they can’t be cared for properly. And they want women to be resigned to a choice between being treated like whores or treated like incubators. The religious nuts in the anti-choice movement are deeply un-Christian, siding with the powerful against the weak, accepting whole-heartedly the idea that happy coupling and sexual pleasure should be privileges granted only to the wealthy."

yes! yes! yes! the anti-choice movement is anti-women and anti-sex. So maybe some of my friends are right that "keep your laws off my body!" isn't the right approach, but when you are in a battle for control over half the human race why pretend it's a battle over something else? The bad guys need to pretend it's about "the culture of life" because if they said it's really about control, they'd lose. We can only profit by pointing out the reality of the debate.
