Well Ya, the GOP thinks abortion is 100% voluntary. It's not! The vast majority of abortions are done for medical purposes and very few are done just because the women just doesn't want to have a baby
But really, it doesn't matter why. A woman shouldn't be forced to carry a fetus for the same reason one of those anti-abortion fucknuts would object to being forced to give someone else one of their kidneys.
You would think nearly half the voting population would agree and not support those that do. But here we are. Boggles the mind.
The only moral abortion is my abortion springs to mind... too bad those laws don't care.
It hasn't been put that way to many of them in the Fox News bubble they live in, which is a big part of the problem. They hear "abortion is murder" and don't think about it further than that.
Total abortion bans are not actually popular among any voters. But us-vs-them extremism works extremely well.
People should have "the right to not be pregnant."
Exactly. But lots of anti-abortionists think pregnancy is a punishment for having sex. Ignoring, of course, the fact that the majority of women who get abortions are married.
I agree. It's pure lunacy to think women in the modern area won't be able to get abortions when cave women 20,000 years ago figured it out. Yes there will be some, most younger women forced to carry a pregnancy to term. But the majority of abortions will go unreported and the GOP will think it's a win. Also, women forced to carry usually have less children over their life than if they were allowed to get an optional abortion. The GOPs main argument is that we need more children to support our nation but abortion bans have the exact opposite effect.
I'm not sure what "cave women" (I hate that misconception) 20,000 yeas ago you're talking about, but abortions outside of medical settings are extremely dangerous, so women getting them some other way or just figuring it out on their own is going to kill many of them.
Once again, I 100% agree with you. It's the GOP that's not reading history books. There was a time in our history abortion was nationally banned. Women will get abortions regardless of the legality and personal health risks. Actually after roe v wade was passed we saw a spike in population growth because spoiler alert, dead and unhealthy women due to a dangerous pregnancy have way less children.
Same here. I'm guessing the term stuck because cave environments are better at preserving remains than most others.
"'Cah-vay Dwellers', wasn't he in-"
"No, it's 'Cave Dwellers', Joel, it's the name of the movie."
That's exactly why.
I does feel like it's not giving our ancestors enough credit, like they were too stupid to make their own shelter and just used caves.
