to slander feminism like that. I did not react well to the "you are a man so shut up and/or follow the orthodoxy" lead of your post.

My gender should not be an issue. Neither should the fact that drug laws are not gender specific. Your argument was that "abortion laws take away my right to make personal health decisions". I said drug laws do the same thing. There are still alot of other freedoms, including the right to lobby to change drug or abortion laws.

I am not sure if health insurance is a red herring. It is an important issue to me, far, far more important than abortion. Given a primary choice between a candidate who is concerned about the uninsured but not strongly pro-choice, and one who is totally pro-choice but ignores the uninsured, I am going to vote for and campaign for the first one. However, if my candidate loses, I am not going to help the Republican win even if the Republican claims to care about the ininsured. As Bob Geiger wrote, NARAL is being short-sighted endorsing Republicans.
