"Contraception is the terrain our enemies fight on because it symbolizes an entire world of beliefs and policies surrounding women and children and life and work. They are fighting us on abortion and contraception because these are the tip of the iceberg for all kinds of rights to full membership in civil society. They are also fighting us on child abuse (conservatives oppose all forms of rights for children for fear that these would be used to break up the power of the patriarchal/christian family), on public school funding, on gay marriage, on adoption, on foster care, on taxes for social welfare etc... because all of these permit women, children, and men to fully participate in civil society as educated, healthy, empowered human beings." -- aimai, commenting at Balloon Juice, 2014-02-11 [thanks to realinterrobang for quoting this earlier.]
