I think it's a safe bet that the "pro-life" contingent won't really want to force their own daughters to carry unwanted pregnancies to term and go through labor and childbirth, with all of the additional consequences that entails, either.

What do you think?

1. Jung Psychology
We upset them because we really are the prolife party. We are the ones who want health care, housing, care about our fellow human, want to cure the sick with stem cell research, want to help poor people, and never wanted to invade an unarmed country. In short we the party of "life."
Thats why the hate us remember what carl jung said that which truly upsets us most in others is a reflection in our selfs. They talk the talk but they know we walk the walk.

2. Yes. They are only pro-life...
when that position allows them to have control over other people's freedoms.

They aren't willing to sacrifice anything for their beliefs, and I'm wondering if that unwillingness to make personal sacrifices extends to making sure their own daughters will not be subjected to the harshest consequences of overturning Roe v. Wade. In other words, I wonder if many of those "pro-lifers" wouldn't do everything within their power to make sure their own daughters could get an abortion if they needed one.
