Uh, you mean feminists haven't used free abortion on demand as a galvanizing issue? Or that feminists don't count? Sure it's a divisive issue. Lots of issues are divisive and rightly so. The critique of capitalism and imperialism are divisive issues. The abortion issue divides people with different views about the social role of women. >d. Defining the issue in a way t ...

Not at all. I'm militantly anti-Malthusian. I like people. I like big cities where lots of people are collected, which is why I live in one. I hate cars though. They foul the air, kill lots of people, and lead to the ...
