Americans, mostly women, are becoming more liberal: Gallup - Lemmy.World

American political ideology as a whole has shifted left in recent years, but women are becoming even more liberal, according to Gallup. The survey data, released Wednesday, shows that while the country remains largely center-right, the percentage of those identifying as or leaning liberal has increased over the past three decades, and is now just 1 percent under it’s all-time high. Roughly 36 percent of adults identify as conservative, 25 percent as liberal and the rest identify as either moderate or unsure, according to the poll. When broken down by gender ideology, women in the youngest and oldest age groups said they were more likely to identify as liberal. Women ages 18-29 were 40 percent more likely to be liberal in 2023, a slight decrease from 41 percent in 2022 and 44 percent in 2020, but still higher than the 30 percent in 2013. Those ages 65 and older were 25 percent more likely to identify as liberal — a slight increase from the 21 percent reported in 2013.

Who woulda thought that taking away women’s rights for their own bodies would have blowback?
Your rights end where another person’s rights begin. An unborn child is a person. And when you have to weigh a trolley problem when the mother’s health is in life-threatening risk it’s so serious thing that you have to consider. Abortion should be legal for situations where the mother’s health is in literal life-threatening risk but even then it’s a very serious choice.

Even if we grant you your invalid position, you are still wrong. So close. You claim the unborn person has rights, but so did the mother.

In no legal jurisdiction in the United States is one person ever required to give up their bodily autonomy for another. This the mother, according to your argument, is under no legal obligation to provide the other person, according to your argument, the mothers body for any reason. If the mother wishes to discontinue the use of her body she can. If the other person dies as a result of this decision, the mother bears no responsibility.

This is well understood case law and common law.

GTFO with this terrible argument.

It doesn’t matter what the law is. Laws can and should be changed when they’re unjust.

You’re fundamentally radical and not living on planet Earth that you think this way about pregnancy. It’s the product of a degenerate and corrupt mind that has allowed you to justify unjustifiable immorality.

Lol. This isn’t my argument. This is your argument. You just don’t understand it or the hypocrisy you live with on a daily basis.

You are right that it’s fundamentally radical and can be seen as atrocious. Fundamentalist religious whack jobs like you made it up.

You should repent of your sins. And I’m not a fundamentalist in the slightest.

Painting everyone that disagrees with you as a fundamentalist allows you to dismiss their arguments easily but it doesn’t change the arguments.

You don’t like being called a fundamentalist because you know they are abhorrent.

You don’t like your own argument. You can’t even stomach the inkling that your own hypocrisy.

Most of my best friends are atheist and agnostics and I’m actually a liberal Christian.

You know how I know you are lying? Because your first reaction to me expanding on your argument was to tell me I am a sinner.

If you treat any of your “friends” that way you are truly a terrible person.

I don’t hate you. But your advocating some really messed up stuff. It harms other people. And it makes you unhappy. You’ve been deceived. You should snap out of it my friend.
Are you familiar with the statistics and the science about this. You know most people that transition go on to live much happier lives. I know I have

Lol. This isn’t my argument. This is your argument followed more completely.

You don’t even know what my argument is or what my beliefs are. All I have done is point out your own hypocrisy.
