I guess I’m just not normal (by today’s standards); I don’t understand that type of mindset.
I don’t think most have that kind of mindset but the problem is that they have a position of power that allows them to pressure women and if they are wrong there is no recourse. The one thing that conservatives need to do is focus on strengthening the recourse by providing more legal protections for pregnant women. The left is expert at doing this on issues that matter to them because they know threat of lawsuit and losing $$$ is a big motivator and big behavior modifier. I don’t like it but we can’t continue operating as if we live in a world of perfect.
