Subject: RE: BS: The God Delusion 2010
On the abortion issue, it is always assumed that if you are pro-choice you are also pro-abortion. This is not true. Abortion is always a last ditch effort and not a first choice
for any woman. It's a very hard decision to make in the mind of a healthy woman.

However, to outlaw abortion is to deny a woman not only the right to choose but to
negate the very difficult decision as irrelevant. In that sense, it's a dismissal of
women and their needs by ideologues who are general white, overweight males who have at the bottom of their reasoning a political agenda. They don't really care about women or
babies but are using the abortion issue as a political tool.

It is true that many of the outspoken critics of abortion are women. But they all have
a political agenda whereas the pro-choice women may not.

Having an abortion is not an easy decision and the so-called "pro-life" groups trivialize
this by their close-minded political agendas.
