The leadership loves it because it plays at the emotions of their voting base. It is THE easiest thing to get their voters motivated.


Similar to 2nd amendment and the right. Its just low hanging fruit for emotionally weak people


Anyone that doesnt have guns should go get them. They won't take them away.


that being said, anyone that isn't solely focused on things like the economy and mutilating kids, is emotionally weak imo.

You’re right. It’s a lack thereof.


Sure. Not being constrained by religion is a positive.

everything the left supports is to eliminate the concept and principle of personal responsibility for one's actions.

view their policies through that and it will make more sense.

It empowers women. Women love power. Men bend the knee for women.

i'd argue it empowers men.

Dave Portnoy went off on the ruling about controlling women. He doesn't give AF about all his hoes, he just doesn't want to have to lose his net worth to their babies.

all the corporations promised abortion vacations. because $2k and a week off is a lot cheaper than paid maternity for 6 months.

It's sustaining their biggest voting edge. Women have voted Dem all of my life. Blacks vote Dem in a larger percentage but there are a LOT more women than blacks.

If the majority of women were opposed to abortion the Dems would not care about it.

The reason women vote Dem is cultural. It goes back earlier than the national right to vote. Women in the dozen states that allowed their vote in local/state elections demonstrated that they want LOTS of govt to take care of them. Personal freedom and self reliance scares the hell out of them.

To reduce what they consider undesirables. It's mainly aimed at poor people. Poor whites, poor blacks, poor browns.

If A poor black woman gets pregnant and if she's unfortunate enough to wander into a planned parenthood , planned parenthood will basically become a lil devil on her shoulder, whispering all the negatives involved in having a child.

Abortion is a prerequisite for a continued subversion of natural law.

Interesting. Do you think that's why it's so important to them? Seems to me to be a more gut-level kind of thing

That’s something they put in the brochure.

To the urban-successful women? Yes 100%

Having children destroys potential career advancement

Do you think I'm making that as my argument or the Left's argument? Because I'm explaining how it's viewed by the Left

For most folks who think abortion should be legal, it has very little to do with religion.


But by the same token it has very little to do with their stated reason as well…they sure as Hell aren’t pro-choice beyond the narrow scope of abortion or any other hedonistic act. We know it stops there as evidenced by their reaction to Covid dictates and not only abiding by them without question but also browbeating those who didn’t.

Supporting individual rights doesn't inherently necessitate support of progressivism.

It's no wonder so many of you fail on this issue. For most folks who think abortion should be legal, it has very little to do with religion.
The rejection of God is at the heart of it, even if those who support abortion don't overtly think in those terms. Worship of self is a rejection of the God who is owed our worship.
