The problem is that she frames the issue in similar terms as rape or other heinous behavior. It's like a prolific raper going on tour espousing the evils of rape.

I'm not accusing or equating her to such heinous behavior, but it's her own logical inconsistency that moves her rhetoric outside of serious consideration and closer to lunacy.

It's not enough to be passionate and intend well about something; you've also got to have solutions that work in a world that places constraints on reality.
