It's claimed that the pro-life movement really exists because pro-lifers don't want women to be equals with men. 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?

That claim probably isn't entirely true.
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a goddess, I'm a mother I'm a sinner, I'm a saint I do not feel ashamed 
I still haven't really worked out why Christians tend to be pro-life.
Do fetuses go to heaven? They don't believe in Jesus, but they are sinless?

It would be interesting to see what the percentage of men pro-lifers next to women pro-lifers is.
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain
'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House “Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom "If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech  Quote:If that's the case, then why are so many pro-lifers women? Religion. It poisons everything, to quote Hitchens.

Fetuses (fetusi??) don't go to heaven or hell. They don't have souls till their first breath, so they are not marked by original sin. They are no more a person than a wad of hair, a severed limb, or fingernail clippings.
