I think that you're parsing it too much. I certainly "get" why people who are anti-choice are anti-choice -- as in, I grasp the crux of their argument.

With that said, I think it's really little more than mostly misogynistic, controlling, straw-man bull$hit, so therefore, I don't understand how anyone could be anything besides pro-choice.

So while I'm obviously not agreeing with Irish on the issue itself, I certainly can understand where he's coming from, even if it's from the complete other side -- how outrageous it can feel that there are actually people that don't agree with you on an issue like this.
