Anti-Abortion Double Standard
Others have noted the somewhat new (it isn't really) "it's for their old good" forced pregnancies crowd tactic, including "informed consent" meaning "you can't handle it dear, so let's not give you the option for safer health choices." See here for commentary on the NYT article. How often do we truly supply pregnant women with a full and honest account of the perils (including psychological) of childbirth and raising kids that they arguably best not have at that time? Double standard alert?!
