Pro-Life Men Hate Women, Love Clumps of Cells

[Brenda]

Vance Boelter murdered Rep. Melissa Hartman and her husband Mark.

He was an "evangelical pastor" they say.

Why are these pro-life men so extremely violent?

They will NEVER be in a situation like women or doctors are who make decisions about abortion.

How can they love the clump, or even fetus, yet HATE THE FEMALE SO MUCH SHE SHOULD BE MURDERED?

Thanks Supreme Court for siding with the monsters.

1. These men don't care anything about abortion.

It is just an excuse to be violent, cruel, angry.

2. A clump of cells

could be male. If the sex of a fetus could be determined by them at fertilization, aborting female fetuses would be A-OK with them.

They think women are less human than men.

4. Never thought of that.

15. I wonder how they would feel if women aborted male fetuses

After all, women are the only ones who can carry a child to term. Men are afraid of that power and have been for thousands of years and that is why they always try to control women through religions and politics. It will never change.

If women really wanted to control the world as much as men do they could abort their fetuses and only deliver females. The males will be nothing but sperm diners. Maybe we should give that a shot for a few thousand years and see what happens to life on Earth. I imagine the animals, plants and the general life of most humans would be improved.

3. Stop calling them pro life. They are anti choice

[ananda]

5. ... and pro death.

We live in the throes of a death cult.

I would like it to be over soon...

6. Religion

7. They want to enslave women through our female parts.

They don't see us as human. We're nothing but an incubator for their sperm and a source of unpaid labor, expected to be submissive and subservient, and disposable when they decide that they want a newer, younger model.
I fervently wish that I could give women everywhere the gift of self worth and self respect so that none of us would ever accept being treated worse than trash.
If enough of us refuse to have anything to do with the type of men who want to enslave us, they would finally die out. They need to be refused the opportunity to breed. We do NOT need any more of them!

8. Their hatred is NOT about zygotes, embryos, and/or feti.

It's about control and the status of women.

An obsolete, antediluvian, ancient, antiquated, antique, archaic, etc. viewpoint that daughters and wives of the property of men. Women (wise enough not to marry) or widowed should not be permitted to be financially independent or allowed employment. Women are equated with slaves. No personal autonomy. Their purpose is to bear children and raise them according to the dictates of men. And of course, only men should be permitted in government of all levels.

Control women's fertility and thus, control women.

The whole purpose is to change American Society.

10. Thanks for a great reply.

I think the patriarchal religions seem to be having a come back but with hellish changes.

Ugh, I was going to try and list them but it makes me sick because it is so real.

[meadowlander]

9. They don't care about the clump of cells either. They just want control.

[Starbeach]

11. They All Got Here

through the female body. Show some respect.

12. These types have a screw missing.

Bad term? Not sure how else to explain it.

The "evangelical" men who I've known have a real issue with having power over women. Women, in their view, are to be "submissive" because the Bible says so. How dare ANY woman not do what God says!!! And most assuredly, how dare ANY woman enjoy sex.

When they don't get compliance from ALL women, their weak little egos get all moody and strange, and they have a need to "show those damn women who is boss"!!!!! I see it all the time with men who insist that their wives have a gazillion kids. Keeping her barefoot and pregnant is what they think they're supposed to do. It reaffirms their weak ass masculinity.

So, this dude's screw finally went missing and he acted on his craziness. He's not mentally ill; his ego just got torched in some way and he's acting out trying to show how tough he is.

Now, you should know that I am a Christian myself. A red letter one who likes the love and compassion part. I do not believe in any sense that women should be submissive. I think that part of the Bible, just like many others, has been "modified" through the ages to give men an excuse to try to make women do as they want.

I hope they find this bastard and nail him to the wall by his balls. It surprises me that they have not already located him. I'm sure he's "getting off" by thinking he's getting away with this.

13. This attitude is based on the Garden of Eden story.

A story that never happened, was intended as an allegory or a folktale, lies at the basis for this type of hatred toward women.

The Bible cannot be taken literally. The "evangelical" branch of Christianity is a bastardization of it, created as a response to the modern world.

14. Not surprised.
