It has nothing to do with “infinite social responsibility”. It has to do with the fact that if someone supports a cause that consistently does evil, they share in responsibility for that evil. Voting for Nazis doesn’t get somebody off the hook just because they, _personally_ don’t shove people into death camps. And the “pro life” movement has always gone out of its way to cause death and suffering. ---

Good sarcasm is usually based on reality, not strawmen. ---

Here is a story that is relevant to this thead > **[Mark Robinson Waves Hand By Groin, Says Young Women Must 'Get This Under...](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/mark-robinson-young-women-sex-birth-control_n_66e87182e4b06998fbec7ceb)** > > In a newly resurfaced video from 2022, the North Carolina GOP gubernatorial nominee also criticizes “all this giving out of birth control.” “Pro-life” is not about abortion. _It **was never** about abortion_. It is all about _those nasty girls that get off on having sex – that is just all kinds of wrong_.        For reference, the whole "pro-life\* thing rose up right around the same time as the Equal Rights Amendment was being floated. Gotta get those uppity _fe_males put in their proper place. The way these people swing, next on their agenda is to make it child abuse to let your daughter be like a tomboy. ---

Thanks for that. Until I read that, I was _totally_ unaware that this country had a surfeit of vaginas that were simply running amok. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-the-point-of-abolishing-abortion/1006471.md?page=27)
