But pro-life positions and religious opposition to parts of Obamacare don't come from a place of hating women, they come from religious arguments...
Most religious arguments usually get around to hating women.
No. I'm a religious pro-lifer and have no problem with Women. I care about the life of the fetus. Most pro-lifers are the same way, though there are select cases of sexism that unfortunately get taken as examples of the movement as a whole by trigger-happy politicians.
I think he means that some of the "rules" or behaviors encouraged by various religions have a sort of archaic bias against women, at least in comparison to views and behaviors accepted in the modern word. Something that may have been seen as OK back then is not today, which can be said about a lot of things.
But I have to say, I'm not sure religion is really the cause or origin of this. The major religions are old, very old, and they were influenced by the views of their time. Women in a lot of societies have almost always been on some sort of unequal footing since the dawn of technology and increased productivity. Go back to a lot of primitive agrarian societies and you see much more equality, which was steadily eroded as those societies evolved and advanced forward.
