again, i'm just completely floored by how thoroughly you're missing the very VERY elementary concept of opinion. my opinion, according to what i believe is ethically sound, is that preventing women from having access to basic contraception is in and of itself a misogynistic policy. period.
and let's be very clear here. you extrapolated that into the whole abortion issue. my statement was that bush's new policy, which seeks to find a means of restricting BASIC CONTRACEPTION for women (meaning only means that women can utilize) is inherently detrimental to women. it oppresses women in a way that no other subsection of humanity is oppressed. and that, according to my ethical code, constitutes absolute hatred of women.
in all the years i've been posting here i've never see you ask for something quite as dumbfounding as "factual" support of this type of assertion. it's like you've made a conceptual error and you're stuck in an illogical loop.
you don't prove ethics. if i were to say that i felt it was inherently amoral to utilize the death penalty and that a society that applies the death penalty is inherently hateful, would you ask for "proof" that the society is hateful? you want proof? my proof would be that the death penalty is inherently hateful and thus any society that applies it is hateful. do you see how that works? do you get that there's no "proving" an ethical assertion?
it's elementary, man. the fact that you're missing such a rudimentary concept makes me want to bang my head against the keyboard.
