it is not enough to just oppose anti-woman measures that place the Daddy State in control of her body. All opposiiton does is maintain a status quo; it gets pushed back further and further, but never makes advances.

Liberals need to embrace and push for greater reproductive freedom and bodily autonomy. There's no way around this. If all we do is oppose the right's agenda, we will lose. We have to seek advances; if this gets us labeled "pro-abortion," then fuck it, I'm pro-abortion.
