The remarkable thing about the silicone breast implant flap is not who's screaming, but who isn't. Look at it this way. A woman is seated in the privacy of her doctor's office. She's discussing a matter of intensely personal interest. It affects both her mental and her physical well-being.
Some women even believe it affects their chance to snare mates and bear children.
Pretty personal stuff, I'd say. There's a principle at stake here, but the people with the greatest need to affirm it aren't saying anything. And incidentally, if the state can regulate whether or not a woman can put a bag of silicone into her chest, it obviously can also regulate whether she can put an aspirator into her uterus or a contraceptive pill into her mouth. But as sometimes happens when Big Brother decides to protect little sister, without the aspirator you may get the coat hanger. There are 170,000 new cases of breast cancer every year.
