Procreation Topic as Recreation for Men

It seems the issue of contraception and abortion has become a bit of a playground for male government officials. There is much media attention and debate over the topics, and women's rights are being viewed as problems that men must take care of.

Below is a link to an article that serves as a perfect example of the ridiculous blather surrounding the issues. Here is a direct quote:

     "This week the Georgia State Legislature debated a bill in the House, that would make it necessary for some women to carry stillborn or dying fetuses until they 'naturally' go into labor. In arguing for this bill Representative Terry England described his empathy for pregnant cows and pigs in the same situation."
