Reply #39: I'll take that bet.

And I only need to ask one person. Reproductive freedom is top on my list of important national issues. If I don't get to choose what to do with my own damn body, nothing else really matters does it?

And your stipulation "they have to say the morning after pill" is absurd. That's like saying no one cares about torture at Abu Ghraib because "war in Iraq" doesn't cover it.

Asked that question, people will naturally choose a larger issue. Just because they don't cite the specific doesn't mean they don't care about it.

With the nomination of Roberts to the Supreme Court and the repeal of Roe within striking distance, women are waking up to the full body assault on reproductive rights going on throughout the country.

Why are we losing elections? Because we eat our own about shit like this. Do you really think Sen. Clinton is incapable of working on more than one issue at once? We complain about our own representatives when they don't act on our issues, we complain when they act on other people's issues and we complain when they do act on our issues that they didn't do enough or didn't do it soon enough or weren't in the news prominantly enough (as if they have any control over that.)

I appreciate that you don't care about the morning after pill. Fair enough. But the only person presuming to speak for all women around here is you. And your presumption is presumptious.
