- Actually he seemed to be saying that he supports a policy
- of mandatory abortion and sterilization for Mexicans. I
- suppose he has some other ethnic groups to which he would like
- the policy applied as well. That is not a "pro-choice"
- position since it removes the opportunity to choose for a
- number of people. It is more in line with the "pro-life"
- position as it seeks to make one option alone permissible
- by law. A long time ago my girlfriend in college told me
- that opposites tend to have a great deal in common. At
- first I thought it was some kind of koan, but I soon
- saw it made a great deal of sense.
-
- An intelligent person would say, by the way, that the usual
- definition of pro-choice is to support the legal availability
- of the option to have an abortion.
