The pro-life movement's obsession with the victimhood of the abortive mother does not square up with the attitude of the abortive mother where it matters the most--at the abortion clinics.

By this "murdering the unborn" rhetoric you're a murderer every time you refuse to sleep with someone during fertile periods. Because then the egg and sperm that all could be children die before they get the chance to be born.
Now put your money where your mouth is and whore yourself to some incels.
Funny, they don't look like "baby-murdering" doctors to me. They look more like the people who have to run the gauntlet of the taunts, pleading, and intimidation of the protestors outside abortion clinics in order to obtain a legal, and sometimes life-saving service. If they spend their Saturdays helping scared and vulnerable people through that intimidation, more power to them.

You remember Marlise Munoz? She was legally dead and had a DNR in effect. But because she was pregnant Texas overturned it and after offhandedly dismissing legal framework kept her braindead body hooked to machines so she could carry the fetus to term against her wishs and her family's protests. The fetus died with Marlise, however, and what 'grew' was a rotting cyst. Even when this showed up on ultrasound the state and the Moral Majority would not relent. A fetus that was dead by all definitions having no heartbeat or brain activity had more rights than a woman technically alive as long as a machine performed her vital functions or her living husband and extended family as the next of kin legally entitled to make decisions on her behalf concerning her wishes.
So what you said is quite literal: Women have about as many rights as their corpses when it comes to childbirth as far as these yokels are concerned. They don't have the right to abort, die themselves unless murdered for considering an abortion, or even to remain dead of other causes.
They are baby incubators even if there is no baby to speak of. Their bodies are for others to decide the use of in all things.
So why aren't you looking after all the unwanted babies in the world, o pro-Lifers ...?

...thought not.
People who work at abortion clinics can testify that anti-choice women visit them to have abortions (but want to be let in the back so that no-one sees them; as if all the other women who have abortions wants to be seen), and are later back to protest again. THEIR abortion is a good abortion, because THEY have a reason. All the others are just sleeping around and killing babies for sport.

I know the answer, of course; they can't persecute any women doing this, as it's (probably) mostly men deciding about the lack of clean water in Flint.
Confused?
