re: #76 LudwigVanQuixote
Ohh I agree with you. It does certainly have to side effect of “punishing sinful women” as they see it. This is very much like the way they tried to prevent the HPV vaccine (another thing I hate W. Bush for).
However, the root of it is a deep seated fear of female sexuality and independence. In this aspect the far right in America most resembles radical Islam.
Goes all the way back to witch hunts. Strong women, sexuality - all like waving a red cloth at a bull for some people.
