[Peace-discuss] Anti-lactating feminazis

[Scott Edwards]

I believe there was a reference to abortion somewhere....where was it...oh 
yes, here it is:

>"The religious right supports women
>having children in the first place, as opposed to the
>left which supports slaughtering them on the altar of
>abortion."

As for feminism as a research perspective, I am aware. As far as what JB or 
the wider public understands feminism to be, I haven't a clue anymore.

best,
