Why are so many women fixated on killing babies? If reproduction isn't desired, there are lots of methods of contraception.

You don't see organizations running around the world violating local laws to treat car accident victims. You see it with abortion because it makes a political statement and you know it.
If reproductive health were really the agenda, they'd get a hell of a lot more bang for their buck educating people on how to avoid unwanted pregnancies. Putting a Gdasnk woman on a ship and sailing out into the Baltic in order to suck the baby out of her costs a heck of a lot more and is a lot more risky than educating her to avoid the pregnancy in the first place.
Don't get me wrong: I'm not in favor of making early term abortion illegal. But this is more about politics and embarrassing countries that limit abortion rights than it is truly about reproductive health.

On the contrary, I don't believe any such thing. Advocating a political position is neither inherently right nor inherently wrong. If the position is morally right, then advocating the position, perforce, is morally right and vice versa. Abortion is an extremely complex topic and I don't blame people who advocate either position.
Your post reinforces my perception that WoW is more about politics than health.
