Yep, you pegged me good. I've never seen that behavior, but I think if some of my other female family members had lived, I would have experienced that kind of attitude.
That said, I still can't really understand it and it scares me because that line of thinking is so ignorant and so destructive. It frightens me such thinking is used in the creation of laws that govern the health of ALL women.
I guess it's just more evidence of the deep, true ignorance in this country, and the way people have been trained to cut off their empathy and find an enemy in almost everything.
