Women have always resented "intrusion" of
"bedrooms and wombs" - for all the *effect*
that resentment has ... while "pockets and
gun cabinets" have traditionally been
men's "property" ... and since the great
majority of politicians and law-makers have
always, and still are, men, what does that
say about what our patriarchal *system*
does to both women and men ?


The problem with this is the generalization that all women feel the
same way on this issue. Millions of women are pro life and resent
being told how they feel by the activists. It is such a highly charged
personal issue that we also can't assume that all republican women
are pro life, or that democrat women are pro abortion rights, it crosses
the barriers.
