Frankly, I think it's mostly MEN who are so anti-abortion and if they ever had to actually give birth themselves, it wouldn't even be an issue.
I think that's probably true. I understand the number used to be something like 80% of anti-choice activists were male.
It's a control thing... the religious right hasn't been able to stand it since the pill was invented.
And the proof of that? The same people who fight re-productive choice don't want birth control made readily available...... or the morning after pill...
and they preach "abstinence only"... which doesn't work. and is the sex version of fire and brimstone.
Then the harlots are supposed to take "responsibility' for their choice while the dads skip town and don't pay child support...
leaving single moms as the largest single group on welfare.
but the people who fight against your right to control what you do with your body also don't want to pay for welfare either.... or for job training... or anything else that would make the lives of these women easier.
because it's all about exacting pennance for their transgressions.
