Or the women who can't leave their state and have been sent back to their cars being told "wait till you are bleeding to death, then we can give you one". Yeah of course the current consequences are devastating and real, but it's an invented issue. Prior to Roe vs. Wade almost nobody had a political opinion about abortion. Everyone thought it was just a medical thing between you and your doctor; nobody (including Republicans and evangelicals) considered it morally wrong. Republicans were looking for a new way to rile up evangelicals since segregation was on its way out, though, and this is what they picked. Despite a few early hiccups, it took off with a boom. I don't mean it's fake like it doesn't have real consequences, though. --- http://imgur.com/SYiqIRC ... Copied to Clipboard!

And, above that you have some pro lifers who secretly would get an abortion if it applied to them while restricting it for others. Disgusting, people should be mad at that. A pro-lifer is at least internally consistent when they also support sex education, birth control and all other measures that reduce the likelihood of unwanted pregnancies, not to mention post-birth maternal care. At that point it becomes somewhat believable that they actually care about the unborn rather than just restricting bodily autonomy. Problem is that such a pro-lifer is so damn rare that theyve earned the more accurate designation of pro-birther,because its the only logical conclusion when taking all their views as a collective. --- "The US is not a single country.

Class essentialism is stupid. Especially since there are plenty of poor people who ally themselves with the super rich anyway, due to being stuck in the past (communism ew!) or afflicted by temporarily embarrassed millionaire syndrome. It isnt 100 mega rich vs the poor, its 100 mega rich and millions of sycophants and the right-wing media machine vs the poor. --- "The US is not a single country.

It's like a litmus test for the quality of an individual. I actually disagree here... on reproductive rights, a lot of these "pro-lifers" are just indoctrinated in with their religious beliefs. Most have never thought about it, many are elderly women or men who don't have to worry about becoming pregnant. As such, many are traumatized from childhood to believe these things, and that going against their religious indoctrination will result in their loving god sending them to eternal damnation and suffering at the hands of evil beings he allows to exist in a dimension of eternal, unimaginable torture he created specifically for his creations that don't worship him hard enough. --- If what you believe is truthful and just, you shouldn't have to posture as someone or something else. ...

If they change their ways they will be good people, but right now they're bad people through ignorance. It makes their actions bad and we should call out and fight against those actions (through activism, voting, and legislation), but does it simply make them bad people? I think it's a little more complicated than that... sure many "pro lifers" are very deliberate and well aware of the impact of their advocacy, but many are simply indoctrinated and traumatized, and I think it's more helpful to try and find the difference between the two categories and work with that in mind. --- If what you believe is truthful and just, you shouldn't have to posture as someone or something else. ...

@topic yes, considerably. Trans rights come close, but at the risk of trivializing what trans people are going through right now, that's an issue that requires constant hammering from demagogues like DeSantis to remain relevant in the public mindset; otherwise conservatives simply go back to generally not thinking about it. Trans panics have come and gone in waves over the past few decades, but thankfully don't seem to have long-term staying power.
Abortion, though, that's a wedge issue that has become firmly ingrained into the American right-wing's collective conscious thanks to very effective propaganda. Unborn children are the ultimate innocents in their eyes, and too many of them simply cannot be reasoned with on the issue; to them, if you support abortion rights, then you are a baby-killer and a bad person, period. It's now become a moralistic shield for Republicans to protect themselves from any genuine self-reflection on the rapidly deteriorating state of their party: "no matter how badly the GOP screw up, Democrats still support abortion, and they won't get my vote because of that." --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. ...
