It goes without saying that if your mother had considered you a choice and not a person, you would not be posting to blogs. Maha, Mahablog [1], writes:
I’m beginning to think that movement conservatism is, at base, a kind of psychological-sexual dysfunction. You know these guys are terrified of women’s sexuality. They’d have us women in burqas and condone stoning of rape victims if they could get away with it. They’d deny that, but in fact, what is the difference between denying a rape victim reproductive rights and stoning her for unchastity? It’s a difference purely in degree, not in kind, rooted in the same twisted views of women and sexuality
For the math challenged, the difference between stoning a rape victim, and not having an abortion is two lives. The stoning kills two real live human beings.

[3]As for putting the womenfolk in burqas, well it all depends. Elizabeth I don’t want in a burqa. On the other paw, do they have a burqa large enough for Rosie O’Donnel? Ringling Brothers might. If so put Ms O’D9nnel in it: Look I might be a male chauvanist sexist pig, but unlike the governor of New York, I am not blind.
