In reply to the discussion: As a married woman living in TX, I will no longer be having sex [View all]halfulglas
(1,654 posts)8. The fact is many pro life men "care" about it but it's not something they would fight for.
The big things and the little things tell you that your decisions aren't your own. They look at the statistics that more women die from childbirth than having abortions and agree but they don't feel it deep down. If someone like Serena Williams can come as close as she did to losing her life post partum - healthy, rich, smart - it can happen to anyone. People don't listen to you because you're a woman. And it's going to get a lot worse. Decisions are going to be questioned at every turn. Did you do something to cause this? In vitro? That's going to be the next thing to go. Lysistrata anyone?

No. Allowing males with guns to have dominion over women means they can rape women at will.

It's not about punishment. It's about the fact that sex is now dangerous for women.
