See. Another place where the left lost me.
I used to be pro choice. I still sort of am.
I am pro having a CHOICE.
The current left? They have moved on to ACTIVELY ENCOURAGING abortions. It's disgusting. I'd rather vote for the people trying to ban it, than vote for people who are actively encouraging it like it's a good thing. Disgusting.
So yeah, I'll team up with the pro life crowd.
Yep; I wasn't exactly thrilled with the pro-life protests outside my highschool when I was young, and think women should have a choice.
However, I think women should have to have a valid medical reason for an abortion, and not just 'nothing wrong with her or the kid, just doesn't want a/the kid anymore', when adoption services are a thing.
Going into full 'treat pregnancy as an illness, rather than a blessing' territory the Left have is way, way too fucking far.
It's just another eugenics/population control device they want to use against the underclasses, so the elite's 'chosen' are left with a small, manageable serf class to take care of things they won't do themselves, and do not trust or want robots doing.
And they are willing to play the long game to do it, counting on the public to not question certain narratives or 'government data'.
They even have people like Sotomayor saying overturning RvW would "leave a stench and cause the membership of the Court to be changed" (court packing threat) and that saying "evidence of fetal pain is not proof of life" because she wants to ignore the advances in medical tech and knowledge of fetal health that have emerged since the original RvW decision.
The liberal justice used her questions in a hearing on a Mississippi abortion case to urge her conservative colleagues to follow precedent, not politics.

"Will this institution survive the stench that this creates in the public perception?" the justice asked about Mississippi's efforts to overturn Roe v. Wade.

They are also saying that trying to overturn this opens the door on same-sex marriage being yanked, but I think that's a red herring because pretty much no one in power or influence on the Right has any desire to fight that battle again, despite some fringe loons who want to do away with it.
