<blockquote><p>I can&#8217;t reiterate enough&#8212;<span style="font-weight:bold;">every single person declaring that the Palin family deserves privacy on this needs to answer for the privacy of all other women in this country.</span> Do I have privacy? Do I get a right to make my own decisions about my body away from the prying eyes and grabby hands of right wingers? Anyone who supports restrictions on women&#8217;s access to birth control and abortion has forsaken the right to hide behind privacy on this. I&#8217;m sorry, but that&#8217;s how it is. Anything short of that is saying that people in power have privacy and rights, but the rest of us don&#8217;t, which is un-American.</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;"></span>I really have nothing more to add, except go listen to the podcast, which is excellent as always.</p>
