Yet another anti-choice movement

The American Life League is rallying a protest on June 7. What are they protesting, exactly? The Pill, which apparently (and I use that term loosely) "kills babies."

I am utterly gobsmacked by the blatant lies and misinformation, which is usually the case when I run across anti-choice and abstinence-only propaganda. But Feministing made a good point: these folks are pretty straightforward about their real agenda. They want to eliminate women's control over their own reproductive choices, rather than merely attacking abortion. In some way, it's... strangely refreshing to see that laid right out on the table.

I'm curious what these folks would recommend for, say, polycystic ovarian syndrome, which affects a surprising number of women in the US. Hormonal contraceptives are often used in treatment, and regulating the menstrual cycle chemically can provide dramatic relief of symptoms.

You know what else cracks me up? They're convinced that Planned Parenthood is pushing birth control for financial gain. HA!

There's also the fact that quite a lot of pregnancies are spontaneously aborted by the body, before the woman experiences symptoms or even suspects that she might have a fertilization goin' on. I wonder what the ALL thinks of this. Clearly, women's bodies "kill babies," and they must be stopped. DOWN with women's bodies!!
