Yet pro life conservatives are also usually the ones who have a problem when women do the responsible thing. I got surgically sterilized which you think people would consider responsible if they genuinely believe abortion is murder. You can’t “kill” a fetus if you’re never pregnant to begin with, right?

And I didn’t know a single conservative person at the time who didn’t have something nasty or hateful to say about my tubal ligation, some of them violently so. It seems the real crux of the issue is them believing pregnancy and motherhood are some sort of obligatory duty of women, and having contempt for women who opt out or avoid it, regardless of whether it’s via abortion or other means.
