How can someone be both pro choice and oppose right-to-work laws? (michigan news)

You voted for this

I’m a union member. It’s not to get a job, it’s to get good jobs with companies that value safe more than production. Also, if I get laid off, I have options.

Better yet, how can someone be pro-choice yet oppose the death penalty?

To be fair, this cuts both ways. I'm pro life but don't trust humans or our legal system to end another person's life and will gladly take the down votes from people who seemingly love the death penalty.

you make a valid point, but your logic does not fit the narrative of the other side.

They are pro death of an unborn child but pro life for a criminal.

I support organized labor to the depth of my soul. I grew up in a building trades union and have studied the labor movement in depth and you could not find a person who supports the rights of workers to collectively bargain. That being said right to work laws and labors opposition to them says more about ineffective labor leaders than it does about capitalism. Labor should have never gotten into the business of compulsory membership. At one time in the history of the labor movement it was illegal to belong to a labor union. During that period of time labor made its biggest gains in the history of labor in the US. The reason is simple...they offered a better plan for workers. They earned more, they had better conditions and more job security. Labor then shifted to politics instead of labor action. Labor leaders were thus required to be politicians first and labor leaders second. Labor began to rely on the justice system and legislation over collective action. The same thing happened to the working people who relied on those leaders that happens to all working people who rely on the state instead of each other....they lost ground. It was not long before members in every union in the nation heard their leaders bemoaning laws against labor actions....when it wasn't that long ago you would be tossed in jail for having a union ticket. Labor does not need legislation it needs collective action. Labor can't out politic the politicians and can't out finance the bankers....labor has tried for about 70 years and have almost ceased to exist. Relying on compulsory membership to bolster numbers instead of providing a better life for workers is a crutch that is crippling labor in the US. When it was illegal to belong to a union in much of the nation folks lined up to join because labor offered a better path....now that labor relies on legislation you can't find many folks willing to join a union. Labor needs to quit politics and simply do what labor has always done...insist on a living wage and tolerable working conditions.

How can your president be catholic and support abortion?

The bargaining unit already has a right to vote whether it is union or non-union. Right-to-work gives people a second bite at the apple when the unit is already union and allows them to free-ride on the negotiated wages/fringe benefits and union representation.

it defies all logic to deeply believe in your heart that it is not the government's business to dictate your medical decisions, but it is the government's business to dictate your decision on what organizations to join

Don't forget those same individuals that screamed "My Body, MY Choice" wanted to force everyone to get the vaccine...
