It seems like a stretch, right? Cat’s paws…women’s uteri. But here’s the quote that makes the link, courtesy of the California Veterinary Medical Association:

“Imagine if city councils started telling humans that they couldn’t have legal medical procedures!”

Oh, no! Can you imagine such a thing! What an atrocity! Government limiting access to legal medical procedures!

Oh…wait. That’s what anti-abortion laws do EVERY SINGLE DAY. Every time that a teen can’t get an abortion without her parent’s permission. Every time that women’s health clinics are shut down, protested, bombed, threatened, closed, and legislated against. Because lest we forget — everything that goes on in women’s health centers is perfectly legal.

Anyway, I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but this shit pisses me off. Where is the outrage? Or is it just that denying women access to health care isn’t quite as offensive as denying it to cats?
