If either of them it would be "Help her, god damn you, she's suffering!"

If it was anyone else it would be "It's god's will, kiddo, so stop screaming and praise the lord."

Maybe some of these guys should consider "choosing" not to have sex. That would certainly prevent a lot of unwanted pregnancies.

The most popular guy there was standing holding a sign that said: "Men who don't support abortion rights can go fuck themselves." Women were cheering the guy and patting him on the back.

You rarely hear the subject of "men" come up in any discussion of pregnancy or abortion. Its like the women got pregnant all by themselves. Then women are made to somehow feel guilty. What the hell!

When his granddaughter was pregnant by a black or latino man....he would drive her to the clinic for an abortion. He is as phony as they come.

To me, if you care so deeply about children and unborn lives, but have ZERO adopted babies that you care for and raise as a matter of principle...well, then I kindly invite you to have a nice tall glass of "STFU!!" and get back to me after you DO adopt a few unwanted pregnancy children. Otherwise, men like that need to stay out of women's uterus and reproductive issues, period, full stop, no pun intended.

Like so many on the religious right, this issue is NOTHING about the child or the life being "saved" and EVERYTHING about control and punishment / slut-shaming women incessantly. They don't really care at all about the welfare or existence of the child - if they did, there would be howls of protest DAILY about the state of the public schools and the lunch programs that in some cases will be the only warm meal that a child receives. They care deeply about the fact that a woman had sex - either by choice (Read: the slut was throwing it around and DESERVES a pregnancy to teach her a lesson) or by force (Read: that slut was dressed provocatively and should have known better and had it coming to her for refusing to be modest like me, the pregnancy will teach her a lesson and punish her for such choices too).

These Luddites and prudes can all STFU and either start massive adoption and child care initiatives or just admit they are truly anti-women and anti-choice because it lets "those undeserving women get away with sex".

Many of these same mewling jackasses were the ones demanding to "show me the birth certificate" as well...so, my retort is simple: "Show me your papers please." (Adoption papers that is...)

As a way to save children and live a full pro life existence. The problem is some of those kids are taken from loving families in the developing world. (Rates of US adoptions are very low)

When you're not one who can get pregnant, it's so easy to be anti-choice.

Idiots like anti-abortion guy in the picture, or the fuckwits from Westboro should be mercilessly mocked. Expose them and laugh at them. Take away their power to influence.
