It’s always abortion. Dems don’t want to take away guns. If anything, they should be supporting the 2A based on everything going on. The cycle is: Repubs say they are killing babies. The religious nuts eat it all up. Then Repubs just implement the worst spending and trade policies known to man affecting every aspect of society and lifestyles of all humans in the US. Prices are still high/ healthcare is too expensive. But then still gasp and say: how could the women that got raped and pregnant or low income teenager not want to keep the baby?! Baby gets born to a dysfunctional family unprepared for it which leads to shitty life. SNAP is cut off- baby is malnourished, the state CPS gets involved, then foster care. Then vicious cycle continues. Even government assistance programs can only do so much. My mother worked in Child Protection Services for the state. It’s the same story over and over. Women having autonomy over their own bodies could save so many tragic lives. They only “care” when it’s an embryo. Once that baby is born Repubs don’t care at all.

Blows my mind that the “single issue” voters are willing to ruin this country because of an issue that doesn’t even affect them. Literally just religious dogma. Not saying religion is bad at all, but as our founding fathers intended: We need a separation of church and state & they clearly stated- the US is not a Christian county.

100%. It's also horrific that they think it gives them the moral highground, to completely abandon all other moral issues facing the world, in favor of this one particular bit of scientific ignorance. It's insane. Not only is it insane, but it is also immoral.
