Those on the pro-choice side have been working hard to change the language of the debate away from babies and murder to the choice of women to control their own bodies. Anti-choicers do not want this; they want to keep the focus on those poor fetuses and poor babies to keep focus away from the truth that we – but many others – cannot see. (Or in some cases refuse to see.) It is about control, not murder.

Control of women.

Punishment of women.

Punishment of women who dare have sex out of their strict boundaries, who dare have it for reasons other than procreation, who dare practice autonomy of their bodies, who dare claim ownership of their sexuality.

Punishment for those Jezabels and whores.

Punishment of women who will not become mere breeders for God's Army.

I’m sure many of us have heard of the Quiverfull movement (which quite frankly makes my skin crawl), which is just one extreme example what many are taught in the corrupted evangelical churches, women were created to birth, sex was created for procreation.

I have been told outright by evangelicals that women do not own their wombs, God does.

In fact I know some people that frankly don’t care if a birth is risky, or the product of a rape, if a baby could be stillborn or a mother’s life put in danger. They believe if God wills it, the birth will be okay; if it is not God is punishing the woman and she obviously then deserves it. I will never, ever understand anti-choice women who believe or swallow this crap; I often wonder who in their lives made them feel like they have no rights, that they're so worthless.

Punishment.

And Control.

Don't ever let them fool you that it's about the babies. That's why they don't give a crap about a child after it's born, or already-born suffering children; all that matters is the womb and it being used for thier will.

Not pro-life.

Pro-control.

Anti-choice.

Anti-women.
