Anything to blame their decision on someone else. Top level rationalization here.
This is core to MANY conversations where decisions can be made.
“What would you like for dinner?” “Oh, anything, I’m good with whatever.”
This answer seems like it’s enlightened and will avoid conflict. Even the respondent will feel quite good with it. But what it really does is place the blame on a possible disappointing outcome on someone else.
And it works both ways. I’m currently waiting for my mom to get her new eyeglasses. She asks me what I think of each frame. It’s easy enough to give that answer, but more harm is being done than good.
If she doesn’t like the glasses after a bit, she’ll have a scapegoat. She’s removed her fault for the decision.
People ask the question to remove their potential blame for a potential bad outcome. People answer for the same reason.
When it comes to abortion, these animals are having calm discussion where they pretend to apply reason and wisdom in KILLING AN INNOCENT HUMAN BEING.
And thus, all of what I said goes away. But the cowardice demonstrated in this conversation remains.
All pro-abortion women say that men are responsible for OPPOSITION to abortion.
Some pro-life women say that men are responsible for SUPPORT of abortion.
Both groups blame men for the thing that their group doesn’t want and divest women of moral culpability for their own actions.
According to all pro-abortion women, women who abort are not morally culpable for doing anything wrong, because according to them, there is nothing wrong with abortion in the first place.
According to some pro-life women, women who abort are not morally culpable for doing anything wrong, because although abortion is wrong, the women simply must have been made to do it by some big bad men.
