My understanding is that privately Dworkin agreed with her. I know close friends of Andrea who shared with me at their kitchen table in the late 80s the same concerns.
You can continue with the "FFS" and "what you're selling," but obviously I'm not some right-wing maniac who's trolling for Pat Robertson here. Why is that tone necessary?
I won't engage in these discussions anymore, because I don't think you're doing it in good faith--for us to learn from each other to move forward on behalf of women's (and human) empowerment. You seem to be so certain of your position that you belittle informed people with a deep understanding of women's issues simply because they question you.
We're on the same side when it comes to the voting booth and free/unrestricted access to BC, abortion, and pregnancy care, and we can leave it at that.
