That’s a lie its only interest is demonising men and trying to create an us and them divide, its also against family values and has no real interest in women anymore, its only interest is to have a go at men for every wrong doing in the world in general !!

Unborn babies don’t have any rights. They are not yet human, so they do not qualify for human rights. In those cases, the rights of the woman carrying the bag of cells have the rights, the same way they would if they wanted to remove any other unwanted bits from their body. People keep ascribing emotion to mindless clumps of cells, usually based on religions containing outdated and incorrect information.

You’d rather the EU make the decisions would you?

What about rights for unborn babies – can you explain what’s so wrong with that?

Feminism aims for everyone to be treated equally, and to have the same rights and responsibilities, regardless of gender. Can you explain what’s so wrong with that?

Can’t have women making decisions about their own bodies, can you?
