The truth behind politicizing the abortion debate

It is so much easier to point out other people’s troublesome behaviors than to confront their own.

All of the people who vehemently deny the rights of others to terminate unwanted pregnancies are doing so for their own self-righteous reasons, so they can feel like warriors for god — it takes so little courage and requires no personal growth to focus on the behaviors of others, while neglecting to focus on their own short-comings.

These self-righteous types actually don’t give a damn about children once they are born, and they especially don’t care about the young women who must wrestle with this dilemma.

4. It's all about controlling women and creating an uneducated, poor work force.

Conservative males fear women, so make them lesser and want to control us. They want to make us slaves to our biology and to them They want to tell us what we can do and when we can do it and expect us to just follow along. Well, fuck them! They want poor women to be forced to have babies who will be undernourished, uneducated and will work virtually for free. That is what they have been trying to implement forever - it worked well for them in the past. Women caring for children aren't as "uppity" either. These are strong features for the rw oligarchs and why they continue to push so hard for this and always will.
