The pro life movement gets weirder all the time. The new or perhaps not so new schtick by pro lifers is that women who are interested in pursuing education and career over having babies and being subservient to husbands should not be having sex. In their view women ONLY achieve nirvana and completion in motherhood. That is they should only be in the kitchen.
So that is another reason that there should be no abortion or even contraception for that matter. Unless you are ready to have a child every time you have sex, then you should be required to abstain.
What part of keep your asinine religion to yourself do they not understand. Until we are willing to get into their face and shout them down and run them off, they will persist and even become more aggressive. At this point women are losing the battle for their rights thanks to the churches and fundynuts.
In this last election more anti women's rights politicians were elected. And they represent the most extreme elements of the party. And there will be national personhood legislation proposed in 2015. And it will pass the House and may even have a chance in the Senate if some Dems turn and run for cover.

I don't want to shut them up-- I want to make fun of them.
Saver our energy for when they try passing laws. (Which, admittedly, is often enough.)

(21,115 posts)they want to punish women for enjoying sex. They are angry that "other people" are having good sex lives and they aren't...so that shit must get regulated! and Ultimately....they want men to never have to feel responsible for "illicit" sex....that must ALWAYS be the woman's fault....so if they falter in their fidelity to their spouse..."they" are not responsible...."its that trashy female's fault not mine". Its related to the mentality that believes that if you regulate Gay men...make life hard for them harass them back "into closests" ....they will "stop having homosexual thoughts".

(6,342 posts)It just never made sense to me. What's so sinful about a woman having an orgasm?

(3 posts)a long time ago people thought that a woman had to have an orgasm when conceiving, because that would produce a healthy baby.
Unfortunately they then discovered that the female orgasm wasn't necessary for that...

(28,552 posts).... it was never about babies, it was ALWAYS about sex. In these folks' eyes, sex is only for procreation and the "punishment" for having sex is having babies. When you abort, you circumvent that process.
That is why "pro lifers" don't give two shits about a child once it is born.
