I worked closely with pregnant women, it's quite common for them to have had a previous abortion. Not as unusual as people would think.

Yes, it can be a point to those who blame only males for opposing abortion or those who never got pregnant.

Those are both very relevant factors, how can they not be? The group that's easiest to judge is the group that you don't belong to, in this case, that group would be women who want abortions.

Because they are not true. Not all males are against abortion and not all women are pro abortion.

Do you mind reading what I wrote and actually replying to that?

I don't know what else you're trying to say.

pineapplebunnybounce · August 21, 2013 at 9:32 pm

I meant exactly what I said. I didn't say all men are against abortion, I didn't say all nonpregnant women are against abortion. I said their being in these groups affect their views on abortion significantly.

I agree that never being pregnant may affect someone's views. My point on this particular topic was that those who say that it's strictly about women's right are wrong since there are women, many of whom are mothers, who oppose abortion.

I know your point. You have yet to make your case, you've merely stated it.
