reproductive destiny and bodily integrity is not thier own, it's nearly impossible to control where that idea goes. A lot of people in this country don't want to see gay people reproducing. The idea that people of color have as much right to thier families as anybody else is still fairly new, and the idea that people of subpar intelligence and the impoverished can't be forcibly sterilized by the state is very new.

How many people in this country believe that only white christian suburbanites are fit to raise children? More than you think, as anybody else who's tried to adopt will tell you (though if you're anything else, it's easier to get the kids nobody wants, the sick ones, the old ones and the brown ones- a lot of people don't care what happens to them if they don't have to pay for it anymore.)
