Great article. An excerpt:
"The reality is that so-called pro-life movement is not about saving
babies. It’s about regulating sex. That’s why they oppose birth control.
That’s why they want to ban abortion even though doing so will simply
drive women to have dangerous back alley abortions. That’s why they want
to penalize women who take public assistance and then dare to have sex,
leaving an exemption for those who become pregnant from rape. It’s not
about babies. If it were about babies,
they would be making access to birth control widespread and free and
creating a comprehensive social safety net so that no woman finds
herself with a pregnancy she can’t afford. They would be raising money
for research on why half of all zygotes fail to implant and working to
prevent miscarriages. It’s not about babies. It’s about controlling
women. It’s about making sure they have consequences for having
unapproved sex."
