76. She's deluded if she does.

It's clear that they don't give a rat's ass about abortion per se, or saving babies. If they did, they would push policies like sex ed and access to contraceptives, and they would care about those babies after they were born. This is straight up about controlling women.

Why the great feminist and supporter of women and children can't see that is but pathetic and revealing.
