1) Anti-choicers are misogynists, no ifs, ands, buts, or discussion.
Why?
Simple really. If they cared about "life" they would be for forced organ, marrow, and blood donation. Well especially pro forced blood donation.
Why? Well each time you donate blood you can save 3 lives. EACH TIME. And you can do it every 6 weeks or so depending on how much you donate, what kind of blood you have, if it's plasma or blood, etc.We are talking about 26 lives PER YEAR for the average healthy adult. Compared to pregnancy blood donation is
A) Less invasive
B) Less expensive
C) Has less of a toll/recovery time
D) Hurts far less
E) Is less traumatic both physically and emotionally
F) Requires minimum workplace accommodations
G) -Also- may require, or be strongly advised, that you dramatically alter your lifestyle especially regarding "high risk" behaviors.
But most importantly
H) Also would affect men.
So naturally, even though it "saves lives" at very little real expense, and is thus the DEFINITION of "Pro-Life" they NEVER argue for it.
Because it affects men.

They also are not for "sexual purity", as many anti-choice Christians claim to be. Why? They don't ever whine about paying for men's Viagra, meanwhile if a woman wants her insurance, that she pays for, pay for medication that she needs which prevents pregnancy, it suddenly becomes an issue. Because it affects women and not men, directly.
2) What kind of speech do YOU hear from anti-choicers?
I hear quite a bit of "Keep your legs closed you filthy whore" "If you have sex you consent to pregnancy!" "Don't spread your legs unless you're gunna have a baby!" nonsense. Basically a lot of slut shaming against women, that never even acknowledges that it takes two to tango. If a woman gets pregnant it's ALL her fault. But no, they don't forget men, they also have a lot of "What about the father? Shouldn't he have a say?"
"It's not fair to men that women can kill their babies but they have to pay child support if they run off!" "Women should have to get consent from the man in order to have an abortion!" Which all ignores that pregnancy happens inside a woman and never inside the other party.
3) Take a look at a great deal of their artwork. Most of it highlights the fetus, often making it seem much more developed than it actually is or claiming it to be younger than it is, while ignoring the woman completely.
Look at their more graphic works, you will see most are given a bogus story, and most don't go into WHY the woman had an "abortion" to begin with.
Look at their graphics, they portray women who abort as careless, easily controlled, or just a prop for the fetus. In many graphics they only include a zoom out of the uterus and no depiction of the woman whatsoever. Why? Because they just don't care about women, at all. Or if they do, they just don't like us.
Oh I'm sure I could come up with countless examples, however I'll just leave more to blog about later depending on what I run into.
