An excellent list! It will obviously not surprise you that I hadn't really thought about item #4 before except in vague ways. Do you prefer the European system, where (in many countries) it seems you're sort of. . . shuttled down a particular path and trained in a career?
Yeah, people need to approach abortion from a practical perspective. What is your goal? What would you like to happen? Would you like there to be fewer abortions? Healthy, safe women? A decrease in teen pregnancies? And then think about what's the best way to go about reaching those goals. I'm very into the practicality approach to legislation - what will this actually DO, how will it affect people in practice, not how good (or "moral") it sounds in theory.
Awww, I wish things would calm down too! Both so you, you know, wouldn't have to deal with the crazy stuff but also so I could hear your thoughts on these ideas! Thanks for taking the time to respond to this one! :D If I ever see you post an entry like "ahh, I have so much free time and mental energy" (haha) I will be all "SO. MY ENTRIES."
Was there anything in particular that struck you? Especially if something stuck out as crazy ridiculous, I'd love to know! XD I'm also always interested in how "heavy feminism" comes across to people who don't think about it much.
