- That is only your *interpretation* of it. What *I* gathered from what she said,
- was an offensive, sweeping generalisation that all men (or most...whatever)
- generally do not want to support their children, ergo "no wonder why women are
- pro-choice" (this is also a gross assumption, since many women are *not*
- "pro-choice").
-
- And By The Way, I have never explicitly "linked abortion with child support".
- However, I *have* linked abortion with paternity suits, which renders your
- characterisation of what I said, close though somewhat misrepresentative.
