That “antiwoman” charge sticks in my craw, too.

Even though I know it doesn’t apply to me or you or a lot of prolifers….

It so often prevents the accuser from even acknowledging the possibility of other–let alone–intelligent and humane–motives for the “enemy” stance.

It puts us “enemies” in the position where we can recite long litanies of how we have advocated for women’ rights and wellbeing–and then we will be told we are manipulative liars.

Or, failing that, nothing we ever say or do will count for sh*t, unless and until we change our evil antichoice ways.

Because the misogyny accusation is a tautological dogma, and it is wielded like one.
