    Our Bodies, Ourselves

    Excellent post on culturekitchen by Lorraine Berry. The title is What is Mine. Here's a bit but the whole thing is worth reading.
    I have heard progressives repeatedly offer dumping Roe v. Wade as a means of appeasing the right wing in this country so we could take our country back. Sorry. I know it would be convenient to dump parts of us to take back the country for the left, but bodies are not negotiable. Bodies matter. They matter when they're being restricted, and they matter when they're being exterminated. And you know what? History shows us, time and time again, that those who seek to control bodies eventually want to destroy them.
