A lot of the people who oppose abortion do not do so because they have any real respect for the fetus, but rather because they believe that pregnancy is God's righteous punishment for women who engage in immoral sexual behavior.

It's a control thing.

:laugh:

If by "a lot" you mean "very few"... sure.

Religious people, men and women equally

Not just, however. There are some pro-social people who use rational thought and civic ideals to oppose the concept.

Yeah, I didn't mean religious people exclusively.

Hold on - is your thread about the anti-abortion movement, or anti-abortion terrorists? Because they are exclusive of each other.

The distinction must be made, but they are not exclusive of each other.

They overlap.

Those whom you label "terrrorists" come directly out of the "anti-abortion" movement, make no mistake.

They are not officially endorsed by what you call the "anti-abortion" movement, that would be bad politics, but they have not inconsiderable sympathy from many who simply "oppose abortion" on deeply religious grounds -- but also support the death penalty, war in the Middle East on the godless infidels, and a mother-effing "rapture's coming, so eff it" attitude towards non-Christians, non-heterosexuals, anyone who would preserve any part of the environment, and often enough, non-whites.

They are not entirely "exclusive" of each other, Sir.

You, or another poster here may not feel that way, but many in the "anti-abortion" movement do, and you cannot ever pretend otherwise.

The "anti-abortion" movement includes many who would say about our Constitution that, eh, they obey a higher power.

The "anti-abortion" movement also includes many who would use the power of the federal government to impose their narrow religious values on every other citizen in America, unapologetically.

The modern Republican Party has taken notice, and has used the willingness of many in the "anti-abortion" movement to vote in lockstep, single issue solidarity for any politician who will pander to their views.

The result? A classic, dissolute, not all that bright or experienced, trust fund baby as our President and Commander-In-Chief

The "anti-abortion" movement, while it includes many, many people of conscience, also represents our width swath of home grown religious fundamentalists so religiously indoctrinated that they honestly believe the Earth is 4,000 - 5,000 years old.

The "anti-abortion" movement includes MANY who would deny a women her life if it meant aborting a fetus. They are opposed to abortion on any grounds.

They are dangerous and primitive religious ideologues, imho.

All hail the Flying Spaghetti Monster. :thumbsup:
