Where in this article does Shannyn say that she hates all men? I'm a man; I don't feel hated after reading this article. Do you have any female relatives in your life? I do. And let me tell you: if any one of them were raped and became pregnant as a result, or if any one of them stood a significant chance of losing their life as a result of carrying the pregnancy to term, I would beg them to have an abortion. Thank goodness that they have that option in today's world; in tomorrow's they may not, unless we do something about it.

If you have done any reading about "rape culture," which Shannyn mentions in this article, you would learn that yes, men besides the rapist themselves are part of a vast cultural system which continues to objectify women and makes sexual assault possible and all too common.

I think characterizing women who have abortions as "murderers" is incredibly unhelpful and short-sighted. It is a profoundly difficult decision that some women have to make.
