To those on the Left, they don’t see it as twisted at all (the defense of their choice in abortion versus their insistence that we have no choice over an invasive medical procedure on our own bodies.

One of the most powerful of human traits is rationalization, a process which often involves the fitting of information to justify a situation, even at the expense of truth and reality.

When we on the Conservative side attempt to rationalize things, there is no doubt we are subject to the same flaws and mistakes Leftists are. In our defense, we look at past performance and history, real cause and effect, and do it all in the framework of the Constitution of the United States, so I believe that more often than not we avoid those types of mistakes.

Leftists, who disregard the lessons of history, are ignorant of cause and effect and uninterested in it, and discount the framework of the Constitution have no such governors and make the same deleterious and destructive mistakes over and over again.

In the case of Abortion versus Masking/Vaccination/Quarantining, the comparison is illustrative.

To a large number of those on the Left, a nine month old baby preparing to exit the birth canal is not a human being. So to them, it has no rights, no need of protection, is no more than a “clump of cells” and therefore, the choice is only the woman’s and nobody else’s. The Left views the Pregnant woman as defenseless, the abortionist and the surgical instruments as their defender, and the baby and conservatives as the enemy.

To many of us on the conservative side, that nine month old baby not yet born is indeed a human being and worthy of protections. That nine month old baby inside that woman is utterly helpless and dependent, and as it is indeed human (to US at least) it’s protection with our society as its protector is not only worthy...it is mandatory. In this event, Conservatives ostensibly view the Baby as the defenseless, Pregnant woman and society as as the worthy and mandatory protector, and the Left, abortionists and surgical instruments as the enemy.

In the case of vaccinations, masking, and quarantines, the Leftists themselves in their minds are the totally vulnerable ones. They feel that they are utterly helpless and dependent, and as it is their individual lives that are human and precious to them. They view the government as their not only worthy but mandatory protector, and they view Conservatives and the Covid virus as the enemy. (I it also interesting to note that Leftists do not view Communist China as an enemy in this)

Interestingly, to many of us on the conservative side, we view our rights, liberties, freedoms, the US Constitution and even the very existence of our free country as being utterly helpless and dependent, as fragile and under attack.

We view it as utterly dependent on us to maintain.

We view Conservatives (and like minded patriots) as its worthy and mandatory defenders of those helpless things, and we view the Left, the Wuhan Virus, and Communist China as enemies, enemies with full malignant and predatory intent.
