I am a birth control militant. I've become pro-choice over the years, just as I've become more liberal as I've banged my face against sexism/homophobia/etc.
I may have had my tubes tied--an abortion, by these new definitions!--but I have a sexually active daughter and one about to hit puberty. I want them to have the same assurances that their bodies are their own, not property of a theo-fascist breeder state, that I did.
Conscience clauses are always invoked to harm women and minorities. Says a lot about the state of the invokers' "consciences."
