I am responding to this part of your post: "What is harder to understand is other women who go along with this. But let's face it- lots of women are religious. Religions are male dominated and highly skewed to favoring male objectives. So religious women have been co-opted by a male power structure they don't even think of as male (why this obliviousness to the obvious male bias I'll never know)." I would like to give you my non-religious perspective on this. The ONLY reason I, as a non religious woman, am against abortion is because I am not convinced that an innocent life, who didn't do anything to anyone, is being taken. It honestly has nothing to do with religion or male dominance...it's simply my conscience having the slightest doubt that it may be a life being taken. If I could resolve in my little mind that an innocent life was not being taken, then I would feel about abortion as I do cosmetic surgery (which is, "Go for it if you want to, knowing the risks involved.") And this does not mean that I think less of women who have had abortions, it's simply a hurdle in the abortion issue that I can't resolve in my non-religious mind. Take care....and thanks for posting your opinions.... Greta
