Stephan:   This and the following article have just appeared. And there are several more similar stories, all showing this trend: the attack on the ability of a woman to control her body. It constitutes the rejection of the idea that people own and control their own bodies. I see it as an 'unalienable right.' What is particularly notable about these attacks is that they are 100 per cent the efforts of Republicans. It isn't so much that any given bill will, or will not become law, but that the assault on personal liberty is constant. It is very hard for me to see how a woman can be a Republican, although I know many are.
