In the political arena, "pro-family" serves as a code word for opposition to abortion, homosexuality, single-parent families, premarital sex, and a host of other things. Frequently, the vision of "family" means men in control and women submissively doing what they are told. In order to legislate their narrow religious morality, they ride out under the banner of "protecting family values."
"[Pro-choice women] do violence to marriage [because they] remove the right of a husband to protect the life of the child he has fathered in his wife's womb" - John Wilke, former president National Right to Life Committee.
"A woman's nature is, simply, other-oriented...Women are ordained by their nature to spend themselves in meeting the needs of others." Connaught C. Marshner, The New Traditional Woman
"The woman who is truly Spirit-filled will want to be totally submissive to her husband...This is a truly liberated woman. Submission is God's design for women." Beverly LaHaye, The Spirit-Controlled Woman.
"Almost all abortion doctors are Jews. Abortion makes money for Jews. Almost all abortion nurses are lesbians. Abortion gives thrills to lesbians. Abortion in Orange County [California] is promoted by the corrupt Jewish organization called Planned Parenthood...Jews must be punished for this holocaust and murder of white children along with their perverted lesbian nurses." - Tom Metzger, White Aryan Resistance.
