So what is at issue there? Republicans being Pro Life?
Lobbying in every way that women be forced to keep pregnancies of rape, incest, where the pregnancy could kill the mother and in cases of FAS?
Perhaps that Pro Life stance has this message in it: If you were not of that all encompassing point of view regarding pregnancy then in effect it is a way of saying to a woman, "Your best isn't good enough?"
That is the best that she could do in life and it isn't good enough? And that would carry a heavy weight of depression, low self esteem and self hating with it? That message? Your best isn't good enough?
Well all well and good.
But what is the flipside? The flipside are those same people playing the harp every day and saying that people like me aren't good enough? That whatever my best is, it isn't good enough?
I mean sure you can say that whatever comes out of her is good enough. But then don't ever imply in any way that people like me are not good enough. That our work is somehow flawed? When in reality...
