12 states still have anti-sodomy laws on the books. Who exactly do you think is keeping those laws on the books and telling other people how to live? (hint: not liberals)

You're right. It's not liberals. With that being said, there are some liberal states that still have criminal adultery laws on the books.

If a woman wants to abort her kid, it should be done by full hysterectomy.

I understand "woman's choice." What I do not understand is this...is, in your opinion, a fetus a person or a body part? I'm simply trying to point out that you're avoiding that question.
Technically a fetus is a parasite. It requires a host to survive and grow.

Why is that. Should the man who impregnated her get castrated as well.

That would be an easy way to get men to change their opinions on this topic.

I know. That doesn't answer my question, but thanks for not going off on a tangent that time.

Liberal states, perhaps, but it's not the liberal politicians and lawmakers keeping those laws on the books.

I did answer your question, the answer is neither, a fetus is a parasite.

Men and women have similar opinions on abortion. Some polling indicates women are more supportive of restrictions than men.

Guess who likes the GOP’s 20-week abortion ban? Women.
