There is a group in the USA, whom I have called the American Taliban, who wish to keep women subordinate. One way to do this is to ban abortion, require women to give birth to the fetus who resulted from a rape, and do ban all contraceptives. This seems a bit short sighted. There will be more children born, unloved, and nothing will stop sex happening between males and females, married or not.
There are some champions in Congress though it has not reached the media. While the attack on abortion is seen by many as an overreach, the Right Wing has not appreciated the value that abortion is to our society..
Planned Parenthood suggested that people count the number of protesters of the pill (it turned out there were 115) and make a pledge to Planned Parenthood who then received over seven thousand dollars which will go to buy contraceptive pills to be given to women who cannot afford to pay for them
It should make the media ashamed of their priorities. That they make Anthony Weiner's sexual hangups more newsworthy than the sneaky progress being made by the Right Wing to rid our society of abortion doctors, abortions, and contraception, all of which will force women to be barefoot and pregnant far too frequently.
In terms of our current economic system, the 'little woman' in any class below the pretty rich cannot afford to stay home and raise children. Even if the family income is such to allow it, it may take women out of the work force who are contributing significantly to our society. Are we really going to let ourselves be led by this fringe group who ignores our laws and constitution? In those backward states tryhing to change these laws, where are the protest voices?
