I really do not know how any woman could ever vote for a conservative right wing politician.
I haven't heard a conservative british politician saying anything like that about abortion! Yes england is very pro choice and you don't tend to really get that much crap for having abortions. Why would a conservative government want lots of women to have unwanted pregnancies? Labour is more pro on giving out benefits etc, whilst conservatives usually lower taxes but it's a lot harder to get help/benefits, seeing as conservatives tend to be pro working for what you get why would they want a load of mothers who aren't ready for children/don't want them who'd probably need benefits. Not really in their interests. Then again, if a politician in the Uk said something like that they'd probably be thrown out!
I don't really want to get into politics, it just annoys me when people have the attitude of "blame the conservatives!" labour can and has been just as bad and worse. I prefer to judge not on labels but on the actual government, their personal values and who's running it. I don't think being right wing has anything to do with whether they'd believe in abortion or not.
Do not forget that in the uk our first and only female prime minister was extremely conservative, so I hardly think they're against women's rights. Just sayin'.
Luna your post made me laugh! That is very very true. To be honest, I can understand that a lot of women wouldn't mind being looked after and just being expected to keep home, and with women's rights they do have that choice, but seeing as she's clearly speaking out etc, I don't think she as a person could be kept quiet with that. It took women a long time to get the vote, I know in the Uk it only got passed through after the war because women had been running the country, after that they couldn't really argue, it seems silly and pointless to try and fight against it.
