Anyone could walk away at any time from a woman who is simply trying to live her life the way she thinks most wise.

And therein lies the crux of the issue. They don't want women to be the ones making decisions about how to lives their lives.

I swear, sometimes I get the feeling that they love the prospect of women living in abject terror of having sex, any sex, at all, any time, anywhere, with any man, because we won't have access to abortion OR any kind of contraceptive if these anti-choice fanatics have their way.

I also note they love to play things down don't they?

""Nothing in the new regulation in any way changes a patient's right to any legal procedure," he said, noting that a patient could go to another provider."

Yes! It's just like the UK where we can simply go to another doctor! Lying sacks of shit.

Yep. It works just fine if you live in London where there are hundreds of doctors within easy travel range. Not so good if you live hundreds of miles from any alternative.

I sent an email via the NARAL link there, wrote a not-very-articulate email to the @hhs.gov email address, and am planning to forward this post around to folk.

By which I mean to say, thank you.

I hate to be argumentative because it's something you're so passionate about, but anyone has the right to refuse to do something they think is wrong. It's not about whether or not abortion is right or wrong, but what each individual person thinks. That in itself isn't misogyny.
