"Forced Childbirth" vs "Pro Life"

Mon Mar 13, 2006 at 03:09:58 AM PDT

As noted in mcjoan's post, Digby has stumbled across an excellent meme: forced childbirth.  

More on the flip.

This is a visceral way of describing the intent and focus of laws such as was passed in South Dakota.

"Pro-life" these folks are not, because they are almost always "pro-war" and "pro-death penalty".  Even "anti-abortion" does not describe their agenda accurately.

They are in favor of forced childbirth.  What better way to reassert flagging male domination?

We should make sure this forced childbirth meme becomes standard usage.
