14. ...with a dash of racial insecurity thrown in.
I do believe most "pro-lifers" are a good deal more worried about the "racial suicide" that Pat Robertson spoke of recently.

Having said that, I don't think it's especially smart of us to frame this as a predominantly racial issue. Mostly I think it's a problem of respecting different religious and ethical beliefs.

I'll say it again--most "pro-lifers", I don't think, are hardline pro-criminalization. I think they're just seriously misguided, and think that passing draconian anti-abortion laws will "end abortion."

As if you could ever end abortion. It's nutty. But I digress.
