It was always one of the reasons I viewed Republicans and the overtly religious askew.

The "abortion issue" never was and never will be about "life'...it is control and power and i defy anyone to prove me wrong by producing a list of all the laws they have passed to help mothers and children AFTER state-sanctioned and forced births...they never were "pro-LIFE" and ALWAYS were ANTI-WOMEN, period, full stop.

Catholics and Evangelicals.

Cheapest way to get votes and warriors all around the globe is to appeal to people's emotional attachment to religious dogma.

Church leaders will then do all the legwork and advertising for you at no charge....

It seems to be a trait of the pious guardians for the unborn to be heartless bigots who wealth shame those in need.
