    Yeah, they’re never actually against abortion. Most of them are usually totally okay with situations like the baby is going to suffer needlessly and die at most a couple hours after being born, or the Mom will literally die carrying this baby to term, or any number of the times abortion is not just an option, but the best course of treatment to save a life.

    They’ve just got it in their heads that 99% of them are “loose” women who “can’t keep their legs closed” and are using abortion to “avoid the consequences of their actions” and don’t understand that there’s literally no way to ban it for them, without also creating a de facto ban for time sensitive medical situations like my wife’s or that friend of your sister.

      Also, there are literally birth control pills that are common and ubiquitous. There are IUDs. If they really want a medical procedure, you can have your tubes tied.

      There is a pill you can take the day after.

      Even if it is a “floozy”, what the fuck makes you think abortion is the birth control of choice? Who do they think is out there wanting to have as many abortions as possible?

      It’s just so incredibly dumb.

        Some Christians are against birth control too. They think sex should solely be for procreation, which is also one of their arguments against homosexuality

      There’s a propaganda film where a woman at an abortion clinic meets God and he talks her out of it. There is a background character in the film who is implied to be a regular at the abortion clinic and treats abortion like something she just does every month like getting a haircut. Conservatives think there are really a lot of people like that
