OPinion

Hi to all!

SuziFemAcam’s thoughts sum it up for me: “It isn’t up to me to decide what another woman does with her body.” And therein is the true heart of evangelistic Christian thinking (and the Catholicism I was brought up with) – that women having control over their bodies is a bad thing.

I clearly remember at the age of 7, the Society for the Protection of the Unborn Child showing up at church and planting huge full colour placards of aborted foetuses round the church. And at the same time ranting about the evils of contraception. It’s all about control, through shame and lack of knowledge. I will not bring my daughter up to be ashamed of her body and her sexuality.
