a fundamental right -- to be able to decide whether and when you want to have children.

Seems like women should be able to make those decisions themselves WITHOUT the government being under the sheets with them. I could have sworn they wanted the government OUT of the bedroom. Now they want it IN the bedroom.

I'm seeing another dynamic at work here, one to which the feminists will not admit.

Modern culture contains an unspoken social expectation of sex during dating. Not marriage. Dating.

Feminists don't want to openly admit to that.

With the sex a given, mandatory thing, and no longer a choice, the horse is already out of the barn, and the birth control pills and abortion clinics are an attempt to go yelling and screaming after it while waving a bridle.

Until men and women can step up to the plate in the moral sense, we will continue to hear frightened, defensive language along these lines:

"An emerging trend to extend a right to life before birth, and in particular from conception, poses a significant threat to women’s human rights, in theory and in practice. These efforts, often rooted in ideological and religious motivations, are part of a deliberate attempt to deny women the full range of reproductive health services that are essential to safeguarding women’s fundamental rights to life, health, dignity, equality, and autonomy, among others. These attempts to grant a right to life before birth—and therefore recognize prenatal legal personhood—seek to bestow rights on a zygote, embryo, or fetus that would be equal or superior to the rights of women."
