The real agenda

Great wisdom from Teresa Nielsen Hayden on the real goals of the far right:

These guys are going after mechanisms of social control. For instance, if they genuinely wanted to reduce the incidence of abortion and unwanted teen pregnancy, they’d support birth control education, which they don’t. If on the other hand you want to make women less uppity, fear of unplanned pregnancy is a great way to do it.

I really, really hate being forced to come to conclusions like this one, but I've been heading towards it for a good while. Why else do you work towards restrictions on abortion and on birth control? So you can keep the little women barefoot and pregnant. It sounds crazy on the face of it, but honestly, it's the only thing that makes sense.
