I despise abortion, but I despise liars more, because they harm every true purpose.

*every true purpose*?

Just what is that gobblity gook supposed to mean?

What exactly is *every true purpose*?

"What exactly is *every true purpose*?"

American Heritage Dictionary

Purpose: noun

1. The object toward which one strives or for which something exists; an aim or a goal: "And ever those, who would enjoyment gain/Must find it in the purpose they pursue" (Sarah Josepha Hale).
2. A result or effect that is intended or desired; an intention. See Synonyms at intention.
3. Determination; resolution: He was a man of purpose.
4. The matter at hand; the point at issue.

In this case the purpose would be to discourage or eliminate abortion, as method of birth control for example, or a convenient way to avoid the consequences of ones choices and actions.

A phony purpose would be to use abortion as an issue to put over one's political agenda, which I suspect ninety percent of those who claim to be against abortion most vociferously are doing. You are a good example, I think. But that's only my opinion.
