Current Events > Do you personally know a lot of people who are against abortion?

(+) Yeah! (+)

i do not know that many personally

I know many that are personally against abortion but I don't know anybody that would want that belief imposed on other people through laws.

nearly my whole family. it fucking sucks.

Yep. Most of my family members are against it, and I have a huge family. My friends are pretty evenly split.

Mostly some of the religious people I know. So my parents and brother. Sister is sane. I do have religious friends upset about it as well.

Some, yeah.

My mother used to be pro-life before she realized the intent was to control women and not to protect the unborn.

Just old people who call themselves "religious" but haven't set foot in church in 3 decades.

I have one friend who coincidentally became more pro life the further down the alt right pipeline he went.

Yes, my whole family is and it sickens me. Hearing my dad cheering this ruling disgusts me.

Sadly, he's the more reasonable one of my parents. He's not afraid to vote Democrat, at least on the state level, since he rejected the last Republican candidate for governor and is looking like he'll do it again. My mom always votes red and is a "single issue" abortion voter.

The super religious nuts in my family, but thats it.

Yes

A lot at work. Not necessarily people i know but in the cafeteria theres always politic talk going on and you cant avoid it.

I know some.

I have one friend that became super pro life after becoming Catholic like 3 years ago. As an ex Catholic myself, I'm super close to just cutting her out of my life.

You can be religious and not go to church. I haven't gone to church consistently since the early to mid 2000s.

Part of the reason I stopped going was because my church couldn't separate politics from religion. I was walking in one day and was caught off-guard by an ad they had plastered to the door: "George W. Bush invites you to join the Walk for Life."

Not a single person I know is against it.

Even the few religious people I know support it (if in a limited fashion - generally that it should be a right, even if they wouldn't get one themselves)

I know two women who wouldn't abort if they were pregnant, but they would never even consider making abortions illegal just because they don't approve it for themselves (personally).

Every person I know is pro choice.

Man, I'm so glad I don't live in the US where fascists and religious lunatics take over the country.

Dear americans, fight that shit back to the shithole it came from. Go vote! Encourage others to do as well!

These days I just seem to know a lot of people who are against whatever they're told to be againstm

My entire family are fundamentalist Catholics except for me, so yes.

They were quite literally jumping for joy when RBG died.

A lot of people are religiois but dont go to church. Because of all the pastors in the news for bad reasons and the catholic church having guys touch little boys, i have noticed a trend of more people leaving the church and pursuing a personal relationship with god instead.

I work with A LOT of religious conservatives who make their political views well know almost every day.

So, yes.

Living in New York, their view on today is "Well, nothing with change here, so you have nothing to worry about."

I know many. A large percentage of them "surprisingly" also have been divorced and either have children in jail, dead, or distanced from their parents.

Ill say this, the people that I know that are against abortions have actually had an abortions.

I think for some women it does kinda traumatize them, and Ive seen some women have major regret doing it.

All my siblings, as well as my bro's wife and kids are pro choice

I can think of a few, but not very many.

not off the top of my head. If I find out about any, they will lose the ability to have any contact with me at all.
