Have you guys seen the abortion movie yet? I know we’re not

abortion movie—because it is the first movie to treat women who choose to have
abortions with the compassion and respect they deserve.

You don't have to have sex to be called a slut or a whore. Any girl who survived middle school can tell you that. But bullies rarely consider accuracy before they resort to name-calling.
According to many conservatives, women who have abortions are sluts and whores. And women who support access to abortion are sluts and whores. Regardless of their sexual activity.
