5. IMO, people like him are nothing but outrage junkies.

People like that oppose abortion for a lot of reasons, but I think one reason that doesn't get talked about enough is the high they get off their own self-righteousness. They claim they are just trying to protect "innocent lives," but they don't mention how noble and important and superior that makes them feel.

And yes, I know outlawing abortion is about controlling women, but I don't think that's the only thing it's about. For those who enact abortion ban laws, it's mostly about keeping the wimminz in line, but for many of those who support these laws, I think the thrill of seeing themselves as noble crusaders for the "rights" of the "unborn" is a huge factor.
