- Sheesh, and to think that *I* get accused of "cheap emotionalism"
- because I use the term "child" instead of "fetus". Ms. Regard goes
- whole hog here, using heavy emotionally-laden terms like "breeding
- animal", "misogyny", "chattel", all the while ignoring the simple
- fact that the vast majority of women in America do not support
- unrestricted abortion-on-demand. Are the women who oppose abortion
- "misogynists", Ms. Regard? Do they think of themselves as
- "breeding animals"? Surely you must have a better opinion of
- American women than that.
