I for one don’t care that they’re old white men. I care that they are old white men who want to have sex with a woman and then leave her to make her “choice”. No self-respecting feminist should support the right of men to be irresponsible.
In the pro-choice world, men are allowed to have a voice when they are pro-choice. In all other circumstances, the “no uterus, no opinion” epithet will be thrown. Tis one of the great laws of the pro-choice universe. The other great law is “this is not a baby” until or unless I want it.
You have to laugh at the lack of logic, otherwise, you’d cry.
When I and my teenage boys participate in Lifechain, we always notice that the only ones shouting expletives and/or giving us the finger are young men. It is a great teachable moment…
Off-topic sorta, but on the tactics of pro- and anti-, what do people here think of Operation Rescue’s aim to post a searchable list of every abortion provider in the US? With photos, addresses, licence plate numbers, etc. Every one, not those with violations of some sort. EVERY ONE.
Your sister-in-arms, SUZANNE, thinks it’s a dandy idea and is taking some heat for her view.

Yep. Pro-choice is dominated by old men. ^NOT
