You also make the assumption that pro-life men date and marry uneducated and simple women. That is narrow-minded and bigoted. You must live in a solipsistic universe.

I am most definitely of the opinion that demographically speaking, pro-choice women are smarter and have about twice the income on average as the pro-life crowd.

A lot of pro-life blather is basically centered around elevating non-working women to the level of the successful ones. Since the womens movement was fairly recent, you have a lot of men and women that are not comfortable with the outcome and those people tend to rally around the pro-life cause, since women's rights changed the balance of power quite a bit. Eventually it will go away but it will probably take a while. Thats what the whole "repeal of the marriage penalty" was all about. Repealing the marriage penalty is actually a subsidy for married people, social engineering style. Married people should pay the same taxes as everybody else of course. But anyway these guys like Rush Limbaugh want to marry non-working women to make them feel better about themselves. But then they have financial problems making things work, and they have to create tax advantages for themselves. Thats the way I see all of this.
