QUOTE: "Many feminists insist that
abortion is necessary for women to participate freely and equally in society.
Anyone who disagrees, they argue, has merely adopted patriarchal standards and
accepted women's 'place' in society. Yet this argument demonstrates how deeply
the roots of sexism run in our culture.
Its premise is a sexist one-- that women are inferior to men and that, in order to be equal, we have to change our biology to become like men -- wombless and un-pregnant at will. What other oppressed group in history has had to undergo surgery in order to be equal?"
