Burn your Burka



I am not from France, nor do I speak their foreign tongue, but one cannot ignore their governments attempt to ban the wearing of a burka in public.
I personally would never partake in covering my entire body in cloth and hiding my eyes with a mesh veil, but I also do not make decisions based on an organized religions beliefs.
I'm not convinced that this ban is beneficial for a woman's right whatsoever, if it’s not her husband and family forcing her to cover up then it’s the government forcing her to take it off.
What ever happened to freedom of choice?
Woman can choose to wear a bra.
Woman can choose between wearing pants or a skirt.
So why can’t ignorant woman choose to be deprived of an identity?
I am again (like so many other controversies) playing the pro-choice card.
