Gravatar First of all, it's no surprise that President Bush is opposed to the legality of abortion. He's always said that. His political appointees and funding priorities will certainly reflect that, so go cry me a river, Jessica.

Secondly, the Bush administration is merely giving options to medical personnel who oppose abortion. Jessica is having a hissy fit that someone who doesn't embrace her world view has some legal protections in a federally funded context.

Thirdly, this whole issue (about the Bush administration defining contraception as abortion) is about socialism, pure and simple. If the government wants to tack on strings to a federal grant, then a clinic can circumvent those strings by declining the money!!! The "women hit hardest" by the policy that Jessica opposes merely need to go to a different clinic, if they're fixated on getting abortions. Oh, and another option -- they can utilize contraception in the first place, rather than choosing to get pregnant.

Gravatar Well I like Bush now. I did not before, but anyone that receives a fuck you from feministing must be a Saint. Besides, women always have the same choice that men have - if you don't want to get pregnant - DON'T HAVE SEX!.. Easy - isn't it?

Gravatar Good point Pankaj, feminists will commonly say that when we complain about the lack of choice for men but they cry when there is even a hint of a restriction for women’s access to birth control. Yet again. It is proof that they don’t believe in equality. But rather building women up and bringing men down.

Please add 4 and 6 and type the answer here:

The path to true gender equality

What is equality? We in the men’s rights movement believe in equality of opportunity, that as long as the playing field is level then the outcomes should not matter. The feminists tend to believe that equality of outcome is what matters, that the columns under men and women must match for there to be no more sexism. So what really matters at the end of the day is what you are comparing. Rights or outcomes? This is the foundation of our debate.
