Fewer People Are Identifying As 'Pro-Choice' Than Ever Before

harping about it.

My sister takes birth control, because her heart cannot tolerate a pregnancy. She adopted two kids. Still, she supported measures to eliminate abortion in my state of MS, and would also make many forms of birth control illegal.

Why? She's an idiot that does not see where fascist Christianism leads. My mother tried to talk some sense into her, since I wouldn't be here had it not been for a D&C (abortion under that law) my mother needed to have due to a bad miscarriage (and the hospital she was in wouldn't give to her because it kept "reading" the fetus as alive, despite the fact that mom was going into sepsis). My father had to move her to a different hospital because he didn't want my sisters mother to die, but she probably still doesn't realize the impact of it because she's an ideologue that really doesn't live in the real world.

It would have consequences for her, but in the church, she listens to whatever pastor is up there preaching no matter how awful the eventuality. She's too short-sighted to realize what will happen once abortion is outlawed. They will (and already have) come for birth control. She doesn't care, I guess, though, because SHE has the resources to deal with such a situation. Poor women do not, so it is irrelevant to her.

That small-minded arrogance about her is why she and I are not close, and why we cannot discuss politics. EDIT: Not to mention that the policies that she is for would have rendered our mother dead before I could be eventually conceived. Just small-minded - not uneducated, she has a Master's degree - just willfully, blindly choosing to be an ignoramus.
