You have made some true comments about our State regarding the far right taking over our State Government. But I do take offense to your statements "Surely - in a state where book learning is viewed suspiciously...." and "the regional belief that female identity and self-esteem are tied to marriage and motherhood." You can find young women in any state in this country that have that belief, it is not just "regional". I am not sure where you have run up against the "book learning" attitude, it certainly wasn't in the larger cities of our State. And lastly, the statement "Their legislature is not made up of..........or even particularly learned individuals" Can you not make your point without insulting the very women you champion for and their reproductive rights?
