    Now you're getting it!

    You are correct Disgusted.

    But this is just our current "leaders" plan to deal with terrorists, who, as we've been indoctrinated, I mean , told, hate us for our freedoms.

    So, in order to stop Taliban-type governments from hating us, we will emulate the best of their cultures - the criminalization of being born female.

    Once women have no control over their uteri, then we can get rid of all those pesky laws requiring women be treated as full citizens with right to work for equal pay, right to education etc. We can then look to the bible so the males will know how much they can get and who they can sell their female children to. Or we can emulate the Saudis and not even bother with birth certificates for what is born female. Women will return to having 3 choices in life: wife, nun, or prostitute.

    I hear women are happier with few choices anyhow.
