I'm not sexist. I just see the same facts from a different point of view than others do, and I wanted to address the idea of women who are against abortion as being married and being raised with some sort of Christian, Catholic, etc. background.

brilliant. so you say if "no choice" is a form of hypocrisy, in stead of calling it abortion eh?

perhaps you may want to somehow express your views to the millions of women in third world countries who have "no choice" whether to have sex with drunkard husbands (who frankly, do not want to have sex with a condom). or... perhaps the "no choice" teenagers who got pregnant by the macho boyfriend and the religiously influenced family would rather force a wedding (in the best of cases), before they would face dis-honor of an unwed mother... or worse yet, "no choice" made a "bad" example by their local priest who refuses to "authorize" the use of contraceptives not "authorized" by an old fart sitting in a throne who has never been married anyway.

do these women belong to the "no choice" faction? or perhaps the "forced runner brigade" ?

pro-choice, does not necessarily mean "they prefer abortion"

pro choice represents the free mind to make up one's mind without a government mandate, religious credo, or fanatical irrationality as to what to do with their own bodies.

if you want to call yourself bat-woman that is fine. just don't force everyone to be called what you want them to name them.

if you feel so strongly towards the defense of "unborned" children... perhaps you would choose to adopt one of the many millions of babies born in the third world country who had "no choice" to be born.

then you would have yet another reason to boast in the eyes of the "hypocrites" who chose to call themselves... well "pro-choice".

hmmm i wonder if the "prolifers" are pro-adoption, and if so, how come they do not adopt 5 each. that would certainly cut in their free time to go shoot doctors.

i guess i am going to start calling pro-lifers, doctor-killers, after all, we want to call things for what they are,

YYB did say "probably" and also added probably "influenced by those [Christian] spheres" -- something that is going to be hard to deny for anyone raised in the US, and you'd be no exception if you were raised in the US.

I think the point YYB was making had more to do with equating anti-choice and sexist. But point taken, not everyone who is anti-choice is Christian, Catholic etc.
