Reply #60: Um, people on this board go positively APE-SHIT [View All]

[Warren DeMontague]

when, say "Christians" are slammed for the behavior of a narrow band of fundamentalist theocrats. Certainly, their upset is understandable. But those people, Pat Robertson et al, are actually claiming to represent Jesus and "Christianity".

Now the "Pro-life" movement, which is made up of a lot of right-wing women (I can provide links, if you'd like) as well as men, does not claim to be acting in the interests of "men", or the "patriarchy", or whatever, and yes as a man I seriously resent the implication that somehow I am responsible for their bullshit.

Actually, the topic of the thread is whether or not controlling sexuality is the goal of the anti-abortion movement. (I happen to think it is, at least one big component) If you're complaining about the thread being hijacked-- in response to a post you yourself made, maybe you should check the OP and try to move it back in that direction. Just a suggestion!
