Francisca SinnOne example - Republicans’ abortion bans are not “pro-life” policies, & the proponents are not “pro-life”. Pro-life would be protecting the mother’s private choice always & recognizing abortion as healthcare, private between the person & their doctor. Same w gender-affirming care - absolutely private healthcare.
People advocating abortion bans (bans at any stage of gestation) are “pro-forced-birth”, pro-putting the state between a patient & their doctor, & pro-torture.

Conservative language tends to activate a swing voter’s conservative morality. Similarly, liberal language tends to activate a swing voter’s liberal morality. The repeated use of conservative or liberal moral language is often the decisive factor in whether an independent uses a liberal or conservative moral system for a given election.
