This is an unpopular view among my fellow liberals but think twice before assuming a pro-lifer is anti female sexual freedom. They may be but there is also an intuitive objection to abortion which is on the very liberal care/harm foundation. Note I said 'intuitive', not rational.

I disagree for the reasons I gave. Asserting the opposite isn't much good. Give a reason why you disagree.

Demanding control of another woman's body, using laws and legal consequence that will leave a pregnant woman with less bodily autonomy than a corpse is the deepest way to rob her of freedom. If you're anti abortion and act on that only by not having one would be the exception.

But we're talking about motivations for opposing abortion. Whether its because you want to control women's sexuality or because you think of embryos as babies and motivated by a misguided protective empathy.

As long as your "reasons" only apply to you. We do not accept misguided protective empathy for scientific fact when we are talking about public health and a persons right to control the use of their own body. People in America are free to do things others think are wrong.

This again is a different argument to motivations. I am talking about motivations and you entered the conversation by saying the motivation was to control women's sexuality.

You said it is not always to control a women's sexuality i.e. sexual freedom. I agree, however I'm saying it cannot be divorced from taking away a woman's freedom. Sexual or otherwise, just freedom period. Does that clarify at all?

If you agree, we don't disagree,
