No, it isn't. I should rather have said; This article reinforces my view.

OK, thanks. That's what I figured you meant, but I wanted to make sure. :)

Thanks for asking back, K and for clarifying, M. I also wondered.

Patriarchal society, taking the control of their bodies away from the women themselves. It represents misogyny and nothing else. That is and will remain my personal opinion.
Articles such as this one does nothing to change my view.
Calling the repression of women pro-life is and has always been disingenuous IMO. I wonder how many children born because Ann Lohmann couldn't provide her services any more did actually receive support,compassion and help to improve their lives from Mr. Comstock and his ilk? I bet all those male pillars of morality ever contributed was shaming the unwed mothers (and making ample use of their services if they were forced into prostitution to support themselves and their child), and making sure those children felt the stigma of being illegitimate all their lives.

Agree. It's all about control, IMO. I've stopped calling them "pro-life" and started calling them "anti-choice".
