37. Well you're off to a provocative start, aren't you? I believe we are at a crossroads of persuasion...

…an opportunity provided by the extreme results of Dobbs.

Most people in this country, including a chunk of Republicans, support the right to abortion and are very disturbed by the overthrow of Roe after 50 years.

Pregnancy is dangerous, and every day there are disastrous pregnancies that threaten the lives of living women who have heartbeats of their own. Every day there are couples trying hard to get pregnant by IVF and part of that process involves the destruction of fertilized eggs. Every day there are women who miscarry and need a D&C or mifepristone.

People who think of themselves as pro-life have not had to contemplate these hazards as anything but events needing medical care, nor consider them as “abortion” for 50 years. Now they do, because the SCOTUS and pig-ignorant state legislators have defined it as such.

Time to rub people’s noses in this reality. Time to make it explicitly clear what the fanatics have wrought. It’s all well and good to visualize perfect little Gerber Babies and get gooey about being pro-life. But confront women and their partners with the reality of the events I mentioned, and the picture changes radically. Then they get it — it’s medical care.

P.S. Please don’t make this an opportunity for blaming “white women” okay?
