"I agree completely. Only then can you actually care about the world as a whole (the 'bigger picture' as it may). I mean, we might not be able to affect the world as a whole, but it's good to try! And most women can damn well contribute more than our wombs."
I think you're making a pretty narrow minded and unkind assumption here. I would think a young woman who wishes to be able to make decisions about her own life and body without pressure and judgement from "society" would extend the same courtesy to women who may make different decisions than you. And I assure you any child bearing woman damn well contributes more than her womb when she conceives, carries, bears, and raises children. Women have to have babies or the human race dies out; how women choose to do this(or not) and live their lives should always be her choice, and should be respected by others.
