Pro-Life Quote of the Day: Ghandi on Abortion

youngprolifevoice:

“It seems to me as clear as daylight that abortion would be a crime.” -Ghandi, All Men are Brothers: Autobiographical Reflections via: http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/765223-i-t-seems-to-me-as-clear-as-daylight-that-abortion

Gandhi was a sexual abuser, an antisemtic and anti black racist, who beat his wife and told women it was their own fault if they were attacked or raped, even going so far as to suggest that the only thing one should do for rape victims is literally murder them (yeah he was so pro life, saying rape survivors should be murdered by their fathers, what a damn icon). He also denied his wife life-saving penicillin because ‘God would save her if he wanted her alive’ and ‘medicine was evil’ but took quinine when he had malaria.

But sure. He was a moral icon you can look up to! He’s so pro life that he thinks murder is totally justifiable so long as your victim was raped first. Oh, and he genuinely believed women to be literal pieces of property so I mean… and no he wasn’t a ‘product of his time’, he died in 1948. That’s really not that long ago.
