Why do anti-abortionists pretend to be pro-life when in fact they hate doctors?
They don’t hate doctors per se, just doctors who perform the abortions. Some anti-abortionists, like the shooter, are hypocrites, just as you say. Evidently they think that two wrongs make a right, and they don’t see the contradiction in their beliefs. What I also don’t understand is why many members of the pro-life crowd don’t care much about a person’s life after birth, but that’s a wuestion for another thread.
