When Trump said if abortion is made illegal should women be punished for having abortions, and he said yes. And then a whole bunch of “pro-life” GOP types threw a fit and exposed themselves as total phonies.

Not so fast.

"Pro-life GOP types," even here on FreeRepublic, tend to be of the "Soup-kitchen" variety. They're "pro-life" as long as you agree to make provision for the care and feeding of the woman.

Point out that no man can force a woman to get an abortion, nor can he prevent her from getting an abortion, or suggest that giving men the right to "paper-abortions" will restore the natural societal dynamic of reproduction, and you will experience a level of hate and condemnation seldom seen outside of liberal echo chambers.

There are definitely a number of things that one can say to cause a firestorm here.

You have to agree 100.00%, or you are the enemy. But that’s cool. I don’t want to cause trouble in that regard.
