 I notice that you also didn't use the word abortion in this argument 

Why can't we just have precision when we discuss these matters? Thats more what I'm trying to get at here

I don't think they are "against women" I think they are against aborting babies?

 I can use abortion just fine. I am happy with any abortion as long as the woman has the freedom to choose it.

 Happy is too strong. But Ok with it.

 Yes I think it's much more honest if we discuss it like this instead of saying "reproductive health" or "against women" - it's a precise thing we are discussing, not a category of health or gender. This is my point, that we try to use Word games to avoid just having a clear discussion about it, more just trying to demonize each other. It just muddies the waters

 It's because for men, it's only about the abortion itself. For woman, it's so much more. The abortion tiself is just a very small and quick component to the entire process.

 Kill a baby, get better life. Ancient cultures also had child sacrifice like this.
