She was a lot of things, but Nazi was not one of them. You could say she had a few ideas that were similar to ONE of the Nazi's ideas- but heck- most states in the US sterilized retarded people and the insane (and since the process of defining who those people were was a bit ifffy.....)- does that make them NAZIS? No- it just makes them misguided on that issue. Lots of people (outside of the Nazi cause) believed in eugenics. The issue is still with us.

Oddly enough the right to privacy was what finally stopped forced sterilization- and when the Supreme Court "found" that right- it eventually led to support for a woman's right to control HER reproduction via birth control AND abortion. LOL

but I do know that even if you accept the premises of the article, it contains no logical basis to support its conclusions.

Why do you suppose this is so difficult to convey? Making the point of insufficient argument is constantly interpreted as a difference of opinion. Any ideas?
