I didn't say that racism and anti-abortion are equal, I am hinting that anti-abortion often has sexist tendencies.

Now, don't get me wrong, I have no love for the American rightwing, but I definitely think that that's a rhetoric that is both heavily overgeneralizing and to the detriment of constructive discussion. 

 

The central piece of the abortion discussion is if the child/fetus, in that instance, can or cannot be qualified as a being with similar rights to a human. If you take that as true, then abortion is obviously wrong, if you take that as false, abortion is obviously fine. That's what needs to be discussed. Name-calling is uselessly provocative.

He said he supported capital punishment, so obviously killing is fine, so there would have to be other reasons for it. The only one I can think of is sexism.
