A woman who is pro-life is probably married and Christian, Catholic or Mormon, (or influenced by those spheres). So yes, in a sense she is sexist, reflecting back the misogynistic tyranny of her faith, still paying for the sins of Eve.

TLC: I'll take them one at a time ... First, regarding my opinion on your postulate regarding a 'pro-life' woman ... is she sexist? If said woman personally is 'pro-life' -- meaning that she herself as one individual chooses to reject abortion, then she is actually 'pro-choice.' OTOH, if said woman wishes to impose her opinions regarding abortion onto OTHERS, then she, indeed, is sexist. See what I mean? The issue of law regarding abortion is about women's rights. Duh.

TLC: Hate crime legislation in TX. The W killed a hate crime bill here with specific intent to deny homosexuals 'rights.' Here's a report on it ... if you 'require' of me to find links to articles about the W's veto at the time, will have to wait. Perhaps you're interested enough to check out yourself. <snip> Bush's record in Texas on gay and lesbian issues, Maxey says, is atrocious -- and somewhat in the closet. "Bush was responsible for killing the hate crimes bill, and that debate was totally around the issue of whether sexual orientation would be contained within it ... On the issue of gay adoption, Bush took the position that gay people were not fit to be parents. But all those occurrences were behind the scenes. He's not Jesse Helms," Maxey says, referring to the outspokenly anti-gay North Carolina senator, "but he's certainly not a friend to the gay community." Link to full article: salon.com 'b-i-a' ###
