Notes to Self

The problem is that when you get people to think about this logically, they’re pro-choice.  But when you appeal to them emotionally, they’re all too easily sucked into hating on sluts, believing female sexuality is dangerous, and wanting it to be controlled.  When asked specifics about how it should be controlled, people balk—-they want it to be controlled, but they don’t want there to be actual force involved, in part because most Americans have female sexuality as part of their own sex lives, and they don’t want their own bedrooms invaded.  The key to creating a sex panic is making the panickers believe this is about Other Women.  And unfortunately, 65 Democrats are convinced that this amendment is about punishing Other Women, not their own voters.
