It saved my wifes life and turned me from right wing to liberal. Still embarrassed it took a personal situation to make me see truth.
When we adopt the rhetoric of our opponents they win.

While some Republicans are pro-birth, all Republicans are anti-life.

(11,949 posts)When my wife needed an abortion to save her life you bet your fucking ass I was pro abortion.
When a women in a real bad spot is able to end an unwanted pregnancy she is damn well pro abortion.
Safe, legal abortion is a good thing.
Acting like Abortion is some necessary evil plays into the narrative of the theocratics.
Because when you say it is a necessary evil you are aligning our side with evil. Next they will be aligning the pill and condoms as evil and coming after them. Because they were both illegal or at least repressed for a long time.
That has been their tactic for 40 years.
