women of america, have you gotten the creeping sense that something is amiss lately? that some strange movements are afoot?
rana breaks it down for you: guess what? it's been decided that you're not quite human.

Believing that the only people who don't have full human rights are women with a "fertile uterus" is foolish and extremely selfish.
I thought the linked entry was extremely well-put.
However, I'm wondering whether Mike above is thinking of people with physical or mental disabilities who have their rights to bodily integrity challenged frequently. I'm put in mind of a grassroots organization I know of in Massachusetts that is made up of people with psychiatric disabilities - they would argue that indeed, they have to fight tooth and nail to maintain ownership of their bodies.
mike - i'm not sure what's up with taking that tone.
i myself wouldn't argue that they're the only people, and i think if this were pointed out to rana, she'd agree. overall, the post was about a woman responding to a direct threat to her bodily autonomy, and i'm not why that sentiment should elicit the mantle of "selfish."
