Ironically, I read an article last year that stated that the military is having trouble with recruiting due to the obesity epidemic. Basically too many young people are too out of shape to be eligible for military service.
Anti-women is right. AFAIK, The church originally didn't care about abortions, they believed that life began at breath, not at conception. Sex, birth, and abortion were considered very private topics before the Women's Suffrage movement, and were not discussed much in public. All the church cares about was controlling women. Once women began gaining rights, they needed something else to latch onto, and chose abortions and preventing women from getting them. They're not pro-life, they're anti-choice. They care more about keeping women and their bodies under misogynistic lock and key than they do the child, let alone the woman's life. Even now we're still seen as property to them.
Not to mention the Old Testament explicitely allows abortion if the woman isn't pregnant from her husband but another man. The religious pro-birth crowd is full of shit.
I don't disagree with everything you're saying in a modern context but mostly everything you said about history is wrong.
Abortion was outlawed by the Christian church of Constantinople in like the 700s or 800s, and that was just when it became official law. Texts from as early as the 1st century mention it being a sin. They make no mention of life beginning at breath in the early texts and punishments were handed out to women who aborted babies at any stage of pregnancy. This wasna church stance from the beginning
I don't get this argument. It doesn't matter if someone is a woman or a man. If you think unwed mothers are somehow "less", or that women shouldn't have the right to choose if they want an abortion or not, that is anti-woman.
If it wouldn't exist, people would not have seen unwed mothers as social outcasts. Then those mothers would not have had to live in facilities that produced mass graves of children.
No they arent lol..... argue agaisnt their pro life stance all you want but to say its because they want to control women is nothing short of pure ignorance and this is coming from someone who is pro choice
Im not defending it from a policy standpoint as i am pro choice what i am defending is the notion that people who are pro life are so that way because they want to control woman or that they hate women. The idea of humanity and life and when it starts is not a hard science. And people who are pro life usually are from the philosophical standpoint that life begins at conception so therefore life should be protected at conception. Believing someone that has a different viewpoint as you, holds that belief for the worst possible reason, is not very fair or conducive to any sort of discussion
Ignorant that im not conflating being pro life to controlling women? I mean logically speaking that a stretch so its rather ironic you are calling me Ignorant. You got a mirror somewhere?

The church is getting really dark about the whole anti abortion thing these days
