#44 geoffgo — “Promoting and supporting abortion is inarguably social suicide.”
It’s also something you can’t win on. Ever. Work yourself to death and finally outlaw it, and it won’t matter: it’s 1-2 days pay for most middle class citizens to pay for a flight out of the country. Pills are cheap, and procedures aren’t expensive. Even if you “win” you still lose. You stop nothing. The best you can attain here is alienating much of the populace.
Do you get this? Your personal belief has absolutely no bearing on reality. None. I don’t care what you think, or how you got there. Neither do doctors in Panama and a variety of other easily accessed places.
Now, please tell me why I should be saddled with your poorly considered social belief system if I’m trying to cast a vote for decent fiscal policy and geopolitical approach. That was my point, which you simply refuse to understand: the voting public should not be forced to also accept **your_personal_beliefs** in order to cast a vote for the leadership and safety of the free world.
I used to ask why on earth would people like you waste good political capital and taint a party and candidate with an issue you cannot possibly win, no matter how you slice it. The answer is clear: you’re so wrapped up in your ideology that you can’t even begin to understand at what level it ought to apply. Truth is that you didn’t realize how simple it was to defeat anti-abortion stuff; you didn’t think about it. And because of your ideological blinders, it wouldn’t occur to you in a million years.
Even then, I expect that you and others of your variety will sputter on about how I have no values, accuse me of lefty atheism, and so on. (Note that what *I* believe about abortion hasn’t been mentioned, although I expect that the more dimwitted naysayers will automatically assume that I do abortions as a side job and blather accordingly.) And none of you can counter the brutally simple fact that plane flights are dirt cheap. And that’s the only argument that has any bearing.
Abortion? You lost. Deal with it.
Accuse away.
