"You're in favor of federally mandated birth control of an entire gender? How would you feel if the government announced that all unmarried women would be forced to inject chemicals in their body to prevent them from conceiving and could only have a baby if they were legally wed?
No, I'm not in favor of anything so completely totalitarian. I'm sure it was meant as a jest."
and
"I wasn't aware there are no longer women in our government. I don't see how this relates to the pro-choice movement at all. No one has to the best of my knowledge advocated enforced birth control for all unmarried women. Some politicians oppose abortion, some favor limits, some prefer abortions on demand. None of these politicians advocate enforced sterilization, so what "interesting twist" does this put on the abortion debate? I really don't understand the point of the piece. I see that it's meant to be funny, but I fail to see how it is thought-provoking."
