(91,047 posts)If you stood on a corner for just one day reading their crappy signs, you would realize that what this is really about is sex and controlling women's sexual activity. Pregnancy is punishment for sex. Bad dirty sex by bad dirty women. I mean it.
If they really cared about babies and their mothers they would support a whole host of governmental social programs, but they don't. All that praying and screeching and preaching is about shame, slut shaming and punishment of women for their bad dirty sexual transgressions, their unauthorized sexual activity.
That's why they are trying to get rid of the most effective methods of contraception: because it allows women to have bad dirty sex and get away with it. Pregnancy would show the world what those women have been up to. Shame, shame.
Once those babies are actually born, do you think these people are in favor of food stamps, aid to dependent children, rent subsidies, subsidized day care so women can work, Head Start programs, a raise in the minimum wage, and mandatory contraception coverage by employers?
Wrap your head around these facts, especially the one about banning contraceptives. Stop thinking they really want "abortion rates" to drop. What they want to do is punish women.
In areas where legal abortions are not available, women will find a way -- the abortion rates will not actually drop, but women will die.
