Do you just not believe that they believe what they say they do? That they may say they think that it's tantamount to baby killing, but are in fact lying to conceal a secret agenda of oppressing women?
But as I've said before, if this is "just semantics", it's really important semantics. You called him a misogynist. If you're a misogynist, it means you hate women. Now you're saying maybe he doesn't truly hate women, but it doesn't matter.
Either it matters if people are really misogynists, or it doesn't. If it does, then it matters that you use the word properly to apply to people who really do hate women.
I think it matters, and that this sort of thing really desperately needs to stop. The reasons Mike Pence shouldn't be making policy in the USA are real, significant reasons we have to talk about honestly and accurately, not hysterical ones where he's some sort of cartoon villain.
Your uterus has nothing whatsoever to do with your ability to talk about ethical topics that might affect you rationally. Hell, if anything would be misogynist, it would be to suggest that biological differences between men and women lead women to be unable to objectively and dispassionately consider the issue because they're too blinded by how it might affect them personally.
... Ugh. I hate this stuff. The other side might be wrong, but they're not the SS. I think it's hugely important, but I just hate that it seems to need to be pointed out. Thank God for Jonathan Haidt. I'm fine if you're done.

Wow! A Mansplainin' double down on the second bold!!!
A misogynist isnt someone that only 'hates' women. According to wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misogyny it includes "hatred of, contempt for, or prejudice against women".
So while Mike Pence doesnt 'hate' women... he absolutely has "contempt for and prejudice against women". How do we know this as fact? Look at his policies he's tried to push in Indiana.
