In reply to the discussion: 'Pro-Choice' Americans At Record Low, Poll Finds [View all]truthisfreedom
(23,543 posts)There are billboards everywhere claiming zygotes (the moment of conception) are babies. It's ridiculous. This is the "guilting" of America by religious disinformation.
The number of women who need access to legal, safe, and unhindered abortions has not changed.
The number of crazies who insist that women can't make decisions regarding their own pregnancies has remained the same as well. But they've gotten so insanely noisy that we're seeing these changes in the polls.
Abortion is legal. That's not going to change. More male repukes cheat on their wives and get women pregnant than Dems, I can assure you that. They're so repressed that they're totally gung-ho about cheating on the side. And they need abortion to remain legal and accessible so they can dispose of their awkward mistakes asap. We won't see repukes making abortion illegal anytime soon, on a national scale. But we will continue to see them use this as a wedge issue.
Abortion is legal. As a Secular Humanist, I know it's a woman's right to terminate pregnancy. A zygote doesn't even know that it exists. But a woman most certainly has to deal with the realities of life, and it's her choice. It's her body. It's her right.
And it's Constitutional.
