Well yeah that's because the majority of people aren't fucking morons and know that it's just a simple medical procedure and isn't murdering babies like brainwashed dolts think it is. Also that it will continue to be done whether it's legalized or not so it's better to be legalized and done professionally as to not harm the patient or cause any extra unnecessary stress like someone throwing themselves down a flight of stairs would cause.
republicans sure hate it when women are taken care of.
It's a handy thing for the right to stir up people over it as they don't give a shit about the baby or the mother. They're happy to implement it as it will get them votes with the only consequence of putting some women in medical danger. It's a no lose prospect for them.
E: sorry should have said the political leaders of the right to differentiate from the cattle, i.e. right wing voters.
Around 6 in 10 Americans think their state should generally allow a person to obtain a legal abortion if they don’t want to be pregnant for any reason...
Folks need to make sure they're voting in state elections, for representatives who share their views on abortion rights. Can't just wait for POTUS or SCOTUS, it's gonna have to be done at the state level.
Exactly. State level politicians have more control over your life than federal. And they are more accessible.
Hell, if you wake up early enough, you can drive to your state reps office and shit in her purse if you want and only be 30 minutes late to work.
That's what finding out that women are unnecessarily dying and taking the fetuses with them anyway will do.
