Quite a few people have bought into a false narrative that, somehow, women are substantially pro-choice by a wide margin.
That simply isn't true.
You could not have invented a more misogynist candidate than Donald Trump, and yet he attracted the vote of a majority of white women, leading directly to this outcome.
Pick a sample of anti-choice organizations and look at their leadership.
National Right To Life Committee: https://www.nrlc.org/6-2/national-right-to-life-president-carol-tobias/
Americans United for Life: https://aul.org/mission/leadership/
I don't know which ones are most prominent or most active, but it is pretty obvious that they include a lot of women who oppose choice.
We can ignore that, pretend they don't exist, call them names, whatever... but it doesn't change the reality that there is no shortage of anti-choice women voters, activists, etc.. The real challenge is in reaching and influencing people to change their minds. That is difficult work, so it is better to insult them or pretend they don't exist.
Hardly anyone ever discusses that the first major political accomplishment of the women's suffrage movement, after gaining the right to vote, was prohibition, since the Temperance League and its supporters were a major component of the suffrage movement. Advancing a puritanical agenda has always been a motivating factor for certain women in politics, and that is reflected in the types of prominent women we see in our politics - Boebert, Greene, Palin, etc..
