Did he suffer great personal trauma in high school when his phys. ed. teacher showed the boys a slide show of photographs of male genitalia that displayed symptoms of advanced sexually transmitted diseases? Did it permanently affect his sex life? Is he now bitter and therefore advocating for a similar approach as a way to justify and enforce female abstinence?
One of the lamentable results of the culture wars is that women have been taught to regard abortion -- a medically profound event that either kills, or pre-empts, a unique, genetically determinate human being -- as if it were merely an act of feminist self-empowerment. Showing a mother an image of her "soon-to-be-dead fetus" will disabuse her of that myth."
uh-oh. It sounds like Jonathan was fed anti-feminist ideology in his mama's milk. That might be the explanation for his holier-than-thou, punitive approach to controlling women's access to medical services.
Be thankful that Kay is only a pissant opinion columnist.

I confess to giving NO credence to male anti-choicers. They've not a womb; ergo, their views are irrelevant to me on this issue.
How does Kay know what a woman, let alone a feminist, thinks and feels? I don't have a gawdamn idea either, but I sure has hell won't pretend I do.
Janet:
Kay would have to find a female human who would have sex with him in order to get an STD...
Looks like the anti-choice authoritarians are in full court press this week...first Bruinooge and his idiocy, this crap and the "prowoamprolife" morons with Op-ed space in the Ottawa Citizen this morning.
At least Colby Cosh is being the voice of reason. And i find that truly terrifying.
