3. True
Women have fought so hard for reproductive rights, and this emotionalization of the fetus is extremely effective. No matter how many times we point out women have died, or have been disabled, or have suffered catastrophic illness because of pregnancy, it seems not to matter as much as how early as fetus starts it's atavistic movement, or does the fetus feel pain or what 'rights' does a fetus have. Completely surreal. Women, human beings who are donating their entire lives and bodies to pregnancy simply don't matter to these people. Press the argument, and it becomes one of sexual activity, and then you're back in the misogynist virgin/whore bullshit.

It's very frightening.
