I think its weird that this person is positioning their argument as if the only people who don't think is a big deal as they do are people with "no skin in the game". "All people who disagree with me are male" is pretty easy to prove wrong. Though the "men trying to control women's bodies" narrative has always been pretty stupid-women are anti-abortion at a similar rate to men.
The usual "reason" folks like this offer for pro-life women is that either we're ignorant ("You need to, like, learn about feminism, k hon?") or that the men who want to control our bodies also somehow control our minds. Thus, men are capable of not only having different opinions and perspectives, but formulating them; women, on the other hand, can only receive these opinions already formed, and are either enlightened by the correct one or subjugated by the wrong one. And if we are subjugated, we lie helpless in our tower, waiting for our white knight to come and free us from our prison--and if we resist, we must be forced out of our towers for our own good.
Talk about internalized misogyny...
