(28,784 posts)and Hitchens was wrong about the description of abortion in the early stage of pregnancy and I don't consider anyone who opposes abortion to be "pro-life" since outlawing abortion is merely "anti-woman" and the objective to encourage contraception may be achieved without including religious beliefs that the majority of the population disagrees with (i.e. that a church, rather than a doctor, may make the best informed decisions for a woman in relation to child bearing.)
To be fair, why don't the anti-choicers go after parents and attempt to create a law to force them to donate body organs to their children? Why is it only women who are forced to be organ donors in the eyes of the religious?
The entire anti-choice logic is grounded in sexism.
