That has been the one deal-breaking issue that keeps religious people in their fold. I am three decades past my child bearing years, I have no children, and this whole issue is tiresome. They only started it to get the Catholic vote away from the Democrats anyway. I just don’t give a shit anymore, sorry girls you should’ve voted better. Nobody listens to us old farts. I guess they have to find out for themselves.

As someone that grew up prior to Roe v Wade - it was welcomed by most people I knew and then the GOP found out they could make it a political issue. This nation has been on a downhill slide since the election of Reagan and it just gets more loony every year.
