Why are conservatives disproportionately against women having the right to abort a pregnancy...

Saw it best expressed here:


They’re only “pro-life” from conception to birth.

There's a biblical view of having as many descendents as there are stars. An unattainable goal, but one which is promised in their religious fairytale. So to live up to that, anything that makes more is good in their mind.

I just find it more contradictory that many of those in the same group are also highly for capital punishment and have many allowances of killings, such as holy wars, than others. If you want to increase your numbers and killing babies is bad, then killing anybody at all is bad too, isn't it?

I think a lot of it goes back to the Christian influences that conservatives embrace. Christianity has long taken the stand that sex is bad unless it's in wedlock and for the purpose of procreation. In their minds the things you mention promote sex for pleasure, not procreation.
I thought society had long moved past demonizing sex for pleasure but it's made a roaring comeback.

Because they like to control people, especially women. Abortions, sex education and affordable birth control all give women choices.

Killing an innocent human being is wrong.

Because it’s all about men dominating women, and all of those things empower women so they’re not absolutely dependent on men.

Because it's not about saving babies, it's about punishing women for having sex and using children as the instruments of discipline.

Thanks for BC!

They see women as inferior and want the government to control their bodies.
