Why the fuck do they care so much about abortion anyway? The odds any of them will ever get pregnant are pretty slim.
The pro-abortion faction is sustained by several foundational myths:
1. At any moment, a woman may meet a man and the two will find each other so mutually desirable that they couple without taking any precautions. The woman bears no responsibility for any consequences.
2. The world is full of violent, unconstrained men who will rape women at a moment's notice.
3. The morning after pill doesn't exist, or is forbidden, or is more dangerous or stigmatized than an abortion.
4. Pro-life politicians unanimously believe a raped woman should give birth to a child, and a woman with a risky pregnancy should give her life if that's what it takes to give birth to the child. Therefore, their proposals never include exceptions for rape or maternal health.
5. Pro-life politicians are motivated solely by religious interests, either evangelical or Roman Catholic Christianity. They do not consider things like neurological development or viability. Therefore, their proposals never include exceptions based on development of the fetus or the possibility of independent life.
6. Unwanted children are doomed to a life of misery and suffering so great that they would prefer death, and this can be predicted with total accuracy before the child is even born. There are no services or resources for these children, and there is no way to place them in a better home.
7. There exists a slippery slope from abortion restriction to the Handmaid's Tale.
The extent to which these myths propagate unchecked determines the scale and zealousness of the abortion movement.
