I'm not debating choice on this thread. That's a non negotiable to me. I am open to discussing policy. That aside, I was being honest and sincere too, TLC. Oppression from within seems highly effective. The best manipulators let you think it was your own idea. I try it with my daughter. I once heard a Mexican say that maybe Mexicans aren't temperamentally suited to owning guns. That is how he justifies the civilian gun ban in Mexico. But the effect is an unarmed discontent (over other factors) populace. (Kind of like saying let us be healed, let us be bipartisan and work together, letting go of the rancor of the last month.) I'd like a profile on women who are against choice. Who are they? What kind of jobs do they hold? Religious background? Educational level. Monetary circumstances during their youths. Exposure to other cultures, awareness of poverty, say through international travel? If that would help me understand how can they justify imposing their will on my body, I want to know all about them. I have a feeling the real deal here is religious, and about keeping women down. Have they never been in a difficult situation? Even if they have, have they no empathy? The deprivation of choice seems very intrusive and punitive. Much like most religious doctrine. joelle
