Being anti-abortion in other words is one major way they can bolster traditional patriarchy. If that's the case, then why are so many pro-lifers women? From my experience, the most vocal (and annoying) pro-lifers are women. Are these women wanting to limit their own freedom? Are they wanting to be subservient to men? Why?
Because they're likely Christians. They'd probably give up any basic freedom if they believed it pleased God, and they believe that abortion is explicitly condemned in the Bible. (Which it's not.)
Is The Bible Pro-Life?
