		<description><![CDATA[I feel like I'm writing a eulogy for not only the continued attempts to destroy women's civil liberties, but for the collective loss of reason and logic that clearly has plagued those who seem thrilled that they're turning women into the pitiful birth-captives portrayed in Margaret Atwood's <em>A Handmaid's Tale</em>. I was collecting news to rant about free speech and privacy violations, which are every bit as important to opine about. But since I'd just written the previous post, <a title="Was It Just a Matter of Time Before Breast-Feeding Became “Obscene”?" href="http://intellectualfreedomnow.com/was-it-just-a-matter-of-time-before-breast-feeding-became-obscene/" target="_blank">"Was It Just a Matter of Time Before Breast-Feeding Became Obscene?"</a> and  birth control was coming under fire, I thought I'd go that way.

Before I go any further, here's a quick definition of the word "absurd" (courtesy <em>Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 10e--</em>that's a book, kids):
<blockquote><strong><em>ab-surd</em></strong><em>, </em>adj<strong>. <em>1: </em></strong><em>ridiculously unreasonable, unsound, or incongruous; <strong>2: </strong>having no rational or orderly relationship to to human life </em></blockquote> <a href="http://intellectualfreedomnow.com/remember-womens-rights/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
