This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Abortion isn't a left/right issue, but a socially progressive/conservative issue. Left/right are being used in this context to refer to economic composition.

As leftism is historically the revolutionary position, and rightism the conservative, you can technically call abortion protections left, but in this specific context economics are at play.

That's where the whole idea of "socially progressive, fiscally conservative" positioning comes from.
