Republicans oppose abortion, and also oppose things that prevent abortion, like birth control and sex ed. Not really worth engaging with a conservative about PP and abortion until they decide to start taking it seriously.
Dear
TheOldSchool
Birth Control THROUGH GOVT is not the way Conservatives believe in preventing abortion.
Nor are Gun regulations imposed through Govt that treat law abiding citizens
the same as criminals, by depriving liberty or property without due process
(or compelling interest by the LEAST restrictive means).
Just because Conservatives do not believe in regulating health care,
including reproductive choices, through govt
is NOT the same as not supporting health care and prevention of abortion.
The problem is liberals and conservatives have different beliefs about
limits on govt authority. We need to address that, and agree on solutions
that don't impose one set of beliefs over another, and quit blaming
people for the wrong reasons. Liberals don't believe in "babykilling"
just because we don't want to criminalize and penalize women
which isn't the best way to prevent abortion. Likewise Conservatives
don't believe in letting students die just because of rejecting gun bans
that aren't the best way either.
If we are going to complain about people not caring,
where does it start and stop? Should we blame each other
for using cell phones and wearing clothes made by slave labor?
Does buying products from China mean we don't care
about human rights abuses going on there? People even children
being worked to death under slave conditions, or for pennies on the
dollars going to fund the Chinese military?
Does using the internet freely mean we don't care about
the trafficking, blackmail and extortion going on by people
who abuse the internet for criminal fraud and sex abuse of children?
Just because we don't want our freedoms taken away
because of the wrongdoing and abuses of others
DOES NOT MEAN we support enabling those crimes!
