Reply #34: I beg to differ

[nadinbrzezinski]

For the foot soldier in the abortion wars it has a religious component, but for those who designed the wedge issue as a wedge issue it is economic.

Allowing women, especially poor women, to have control of their bodies IS AN ECONOMIC issue of immense proportions and lessens the control of a patriarchal society... my ooops, I did not mean matriarchal but patriarchal.

Those who design these policies and issues are that cynical... and they use language to divide and chiefly control... and ultimately for economic control.

It is no coinicidence that this war against abortion in the US has reached its peak under a very conservative, some might even call it Radical government, whose goal is the privatization of all services and the end of any safety net.
