Joy Pinto, a pro-lifer and Catholic radio host from Alabama who runs Her Choice Birmingham Women’s Center, made some comments at a pro-life convention that have drawn the vitriol of pro-choicers.
Pro-choice people cannot believe that Pinto had the audacity to leave her home last week, much less broadcast that she is a Catholic, a moral absolutist, and a woman who believes that women deserve better than abortion.
Pinto told supporters at the National Right to Life Convention that she believes the real “war on women” comes from forces who push abortion and contraception on women: “There is a war on women, but we are not the ones waging the war,” she said.
