She lost me here:
“Birthright does not lobby against abortion. They don’t picket at clinics, or take any government money. They don’t vilify women who have abortions either. This wonderful charity was created before abortion was legalized, and it was solely designed to provide support for mothers”
The pro life bigotry comes through
And what pro life or anti abortion group is getting government money?
I don’t know, I think discounting the entire article on the basis of that (I didn’t see it as “pro-life bigotry” as you did) is a bit like throwing out the baby with the bathwater, so to speak.
I didn’t see it that way.
I admit, I almost felt some repellence at her usage in her narrative of the example of a pregnant cat being spayed, but in retrospect, I think that is acceptable because even if one FEELS it and is going through it (as she did with her own abortion) that person doesn’t actually SEE it happening. Humans are very visual, so it doesn’t surprise me that having an abortion would be one thing, but SEEING one, even on an animal, would be quite a different thing.
I would disagree with discounting the article, stanne. I think it has merit. But we may disagree on this.
