"I hate hate hate the way that people equate 'anything we can legally do to discourage abortion, no matter how much it treats women as The Enemy and basically nonpersons' with 'respect for life'.
"Because, I'm sorry, NO. If you *actually* have respect for life, that doesn't end at birth. If you have respect for life, that includes respect for women. If you have respect for life, that includes respect for Iraqis. If you have respect for life, that includes respect for the poor. If you have respect for life, that includes respect for the victims of torture. If you pass laws against abortion, all that proves is that you can pass laws against abortion. Well, good for fucking you."
