Someone gets the reaction we should have to South Dakota. So I'll let them speak.

This sounds about right to me.

...except that, when I read this post, she states very clearly that her thesis is not at all about abortion.

It seems like people are willing to ignore that to read into it, though.

Try again. It's not that her thesis isn't about abortion. Her thesis pertains to abortion, in that the battle the conservative fundamentalist Christian movement is fighting is not just about abortion, but rather about control. Which is pretty much what I stated. Believing abortion to be immoral is one thing, and using that claim to attempt to exert control over other aspects of people's personal life (i.e. whether to attempt to prevent conception in the first place) is something else entirely.

Please don't accuse me of willful ignorance. I find it rather insulting.
