8. To be fair, it was somewhat unclear

I needed to read it a few times.

My take was: Those who like what this monk said were of the same mind as this monk - and would not have problems with the Anti-Choice movement if they worked to make life better for women and children.

Yes we would, so long as they were fighting Roe. I can agree with this monk that they have some hypocrisy to bash - and I'm happy that a devout Catholic has seen the rampant racism, misogyny and narrowness in the Catholics that have fixated on abortion.

But, no, my problem with the pro-forced childbirth crowd doesn't stop there.

I can also think that if there was a waiting list for every unwanted infant, and our economic crisis was over, that these people are still WRONG for saying that women should be criminalized for not wanting to have a baby.
