‘I am not going to take the religious belief that murder is wrong out of my politics.’
the opinion that abortion is murder is not limited to the religious; I am not a theist, and I consider abortion for convenience to be murder in the first degee...
It’s a losing issue! Young women who might have crossed the aisle to vote for us this year (college loans, woke teachers, fiscal issues...myriad of reasons why) are not going to now! Also when the Dems say that Republicans will “take away” this and that...people will believe them now because the SC took away legalized abortion. Lastly, states are legalizing it left and right...it will not put even a small dent in the number of abortions performed. There are many people that should not be reproducing anyways!
Agreed to a point - but I was responding to the assertion that my “religious beliefs” should not affect my political ones, which is absurd.
