Don't underestimate the importance of arguing that abortion hurts women. Obviously it hurts the babies most. But the abortionists are lying, too, when they say that they're helping women. They are not doing that, either.

If it helps persuade more people that abortion is wrong, then it's a useful argument. "A woman's right to choose" has been their most persuasive argument, and this helps to show the falsity of the phrase.

"An abortionist's right to make money" or "a liberal's right to have sex without consequences" are closer to the truth of what they stand for any supposed benefit for women.

Good point. Hadn't thought of it that way.

It unquestionably hurts women, if not physically, emotionally.
