Never understood why conservatives were so against abortion again, seems like such a non issue.
Each person against abortion would have to tell you their specific reason, because there are many justifications given. The main problem is that they change their excuses whenever it benefits them. These are the main ones I've heard or read.
The Bible is against abortion / the Bible says abortions are immoral / it's against religion
The people who use religion as their excuse for being against abortion do not follow every aspect of the Bible or even understand the religion they are part of. They pick and choose what parts of their religion they care about. It's an excuse, not a reason.
Each fetus is a precious life that needs to be protected
Anti-abortionists claim to care about life, but if they're MIGA, they most certainly do not care about life. They certainly don't care about children after they're born. They want to cut any government assistance that single mothers might receive to help raise their kids. They cheer on ICE agents killing American citizens including parents, throwing immigrant children into camps or separating them from their families, and depriving them of any assistance. MIGA loves the idea of alligators eating immigrants who might try to escape from "alligator Alcatraz." MIGA celebrates when liberals are killed. It's not about protecting life. They aren't against hurting or killing people.
What about the Iranian schoolchildren Trump's war killed? Or the kids that died in Afghanistan and Iraq from the US's 20-year war? They're brown, foreign, and not in the womb anymore, so who gives a fuck, I guess. It's not about life, it's not about kids, and it's not about helping people.
They realized it was a way to trap christians in their party.
Yep. Ultimately, it was to bring the ultra-religious into politics so they wouldn't support Democrats anymore. After all, supporting the Dems means going against their religion.
It's also about control. They want to control women. They blame women for getting pregnant and say she needs to live with the consequences of her actions, as the anti-abortionist injects themselves with another insulin shot for their diabetes that resulted from being a disgusting, fat fuck for years. They say if a woman doesn't want to have a kid, then she shouldn't have sex, but the right-wing incels hate women who don't have sex with them and kill women as a result. They are against abortion for rape victims,
even though many women will be victims of sexual assault or rape. (
A)
Nearly half of women and more than 1 in 6 men experienced some form of contact sexual violence in their lifetimes.
More than 1 in 5 women and 1 in 31 men have experienced completed or attempted rape in their lifetimes
More than 4 in 5 female rape survivors reported that they were first raped before age 25 and almost half were first raped as a minor (i.e., before age 18 )
Multiple women in my life were raped, and abortion prevented some of them from being forced to have children they didn't want, ask for, or consent to.
Pro-life people aren't "pro-life," they're anti-abortion. Shouldn't a pro-life person, Idk, care about all life, not just care about a fetus?
