In reply to the discussion: Texas governor says rape victims can prevent pregnancy by taking Plan B [View all]ShazzieB
(15,952 posts)32. Yes, most forced birthers believe Plan B is an abortifacient, and want it to be banned.
I think the quote says a lot about how few fucks Abbott actually gives about the so-called "pro life" movement. If he REALLY believed abortion was murder and was motivated by a desire to protect the "unborn," he would be anti-Plan B like the rest of them.
This quote makes it clear to anyone who is really paying attention that he couldn't care less about what happens to fetuses, embryos, blastocysts, and fertilized eggs and is motivated purely by a desire to score political points. Which makes his gleeful promotion of abortion bans that much more despicable, afaic.

It is not about helping women, it is about Republican's tanking poll numbers in Texas.
