Mike Pence is actively and continually legislating ways to take away a woman's right to choose. That makes him misogynistic.
Again, the pro-life movement would be really impressive if they actually carried that pro-life argument into areas of life other than mandating that a woman carry a pregnancy to term. But they don't. So I can't accept that it's a moral issue if those people can stand by silently while children in Flint, MI have been dealing with lead poisoned water for years.
You can't claim to be pro-life and end it at childbirth. That is what Mike Pence and many pro-life groups do. That is not pro-life. That is pro-fetus. There are a multitude of good things that "pro-life" groups could be doing. Closing down PP is not one of those good things. Preventing a rape victim from having an abortion is not one of those things.
Bottom line of all of this, however: Pence is actively legislating to limit Roe v. Wade's scope. That is misogynistic.
Being pro-choice while personally having an issue with abortion is not.

I'm speaking in a vacuum and not with regard to Mike Pence. Mike Pence is a regressive #######.
