re: #58 Obdicut

It also sterilized men. Sorry, dude. Eugenics uses control of female sexuality in order to attain it’s goals. The purpose of abortion laws and other laws affecting female sexuality stemming from socially conservative religion is control of female sexuality. In one case, it is a means, in the other, it is the ends.

Fair enough. I guess what I’m trying to say is… do you really think it just ends with “controlling female sexuality?” That’s it? Like, everyone got together and decided that was the “ends” they were going for? That seems rather arbitrary, no?

My argument as that controlling female sexuality is part of a greater pattern of trying to assert control and influence on society, and that it’s a pattern that seems to quite suspiciously end up in just about any authoritarian group, from new-age yoga cults to fundamentalist Amish.

Weirdly, I restrict myself to the actual physical world when talking about things.

I’ll restrict myself to talking about the strict political subject at hand in the future, then. Waxing philosophical just seems to risk offending people.
