Clearly his entire line of thinking is that women shouldn't be allowed to make that kind of decision for themselves, that women should obviously be mothers at home, that the idea of women in the military is absolute madness. It all adds up to a whole lot of misogyny to me. It's bad enough that this man held so much power over Indiana, I don't want him affecting SCOTUS choices.
That's not what he's saying at all. He's on the record that he supports a woman's choice. He is able to separate that from his personal beliefs.

I like that personally.
