I've been there done that with them. Specifically, lil_elf and nothingmuch are just insipid drama hounds. I hate to sound mean, but it irks the hell out of me when girls like them take on *this* particular cause and clearly don't know the whole picture. But I digress....I believe you to be 100% correct AND my personal opinion is that you can't address the sexism and abortion issues in our country without addressing the misogynistic way we approach women's health care, in general, concurrently.
I think that community is largely and exercise in futility. They are really screaming because you disagree with a pro-choice article. Period. If you aren't 100% pro choice, w/o apology, abortions all the time, there are a few drama whores who will reply to you ad nauseum with ridiculously silly posts, implying all sorts of yucky things about you. Bleh.
It's funny, because when I've brought this issue up in RL, most people agree and tend to look at things differently.
The whole concept of pregancy being marketted as this horrific thing that we "put women through" just disgusts me, but that's whole 'nother kettle of fish.
