Yes, it is very hard to leave your tribe. It is your husband, your church, your community. If you leave that, where would you go?
Add to that the denial-ism of “it can’t happen to me”.

Wisconsin Lawmaker: Contraception Makes Women Too Uppity | Crooks and Liars
Wichgers cited anonymous religious leaders (undoubtedly fellow Christofascists) who claimed that contraception led to an increase in infidelity; government control of people’s family planning choices (making people take contraceptives against their will); the proliferation of STDs; men devaluing women and women thinking that they are more powerful than nature. He explained the last one by saying that when a woman becomes pregnant, that’s nature taking its course and a woman who takes a contraceptive is trying to deny nature
e. Funny thing is that he never addressed the times where “nature” occurred because of incest and/or rape. Wonder why that is…

This article appears to be focused primarily on whether state officials can win re-election after a more or less extreme prohibition on abortion is adopted. He doesn’t seem to address at all the question whether a Republican candidate can be elected president with abortion restrictions in half the states. Takes a somewhat even-handed approach to the question of whether the anti-abortionists are “winning.” Then blows it by suggesting at the end that the anti-abortionists’ “moral” position will prevail, though as a tactic they will sometimes allow a limit of 12 weeks to be enacted preliminary to ginning up support for an absolute prohibition.

An opinion writer forced upon us by the New York Times, a Ms. Hadley Heath Manning, makes a similar argument. Yes, she admits, women having the ability to plan pregnancies through birth control has had some benefits, but oh, the slippery slope to emotionally distant relationships and the obstacle to women’s emotional fulfillment!
By the way, the Times is permitting no comments on this article.

For the same reason they want to prevent women from getting birth control, but expect health insurers to cover the costs of Viagra.

Why do these people do something more productive with their wild imaginations…like write fantasy novels or something?
