I would encourage you to read the post more carefully. It doesn't say anything about how many men oppose abortion. It's making a claim about how many abortion opponents are men. Therefore, the 21% left over in that statement are in fact women who, most likely due to religious brainwashing, oppose abortion.

Correct.

And you'll note that the article I linked to was about women who oppose abortion, who, in fact, seem fine with getting one themselves.

I'm somewhat confused as to what you thought I was talking about.

Oof. Looks like I'm the one who looks silly now.

Wow... I'm in the 21% who don't oppose abortion and I also don't go to clinics to harass the doctors, so apparently the story has at least 3 halves.

if you don't oppose abortion then you're not in that 21%
