We need to turn these men around. Maybe the key would be to keep reminding them subtly how unchivalrous and unmanly it is to send your mistress for an abortion. In the old days, kings and rich men paid for their bastard children and even put them in their wills.
Among the elites of whatever party, narcissism is an Achilles heel. It opens the way to other avenues of corruption.
“Abortion is the ultimate backstop of sin.”
That’s a neatly turned phrase. I usually go on and on about how contraception, antibiotics, and abortion facilitate promiscuity. Yours is better.
“Maybe the key would be to keep reminding them subtly how unchivalrous and unmanly it is to send your mistress for an abortion.”
Not to mention how unchivalrous it is to have a mistress in the first place. Whatever time, affection, and resources a man has rightfully belong to his wife, children, and elderly parents.
A man who has a mistress is stealing something monumentally important from his children.
“narcissism is an Achilles heel.”
I wonder if it isn’t the same as the sin of pride, in its theological definition.
Dang, that's good. I have always asserted that abortion was for men. "Backstop" for players. Still, I don't fault Trump for dog-whistling the social conservatives. I like that he's out to defeat the party of Cecile Richards.
