@lovelylovely

unfortunately it's often they go to another state and get an abortion, or secretly take a pill

then they loudly announce abortion is a vile sin

that's the republican way: utter hypocrisy

if pressed on the topic, it's "my abortion is ok and your abortion is wrong"

the question on abortion is not how to engage people with different views

the question is how to engage immoral people who represent views they wish to enforce on others, but not themselves

The Women Who Leave Anti-Abortion Picket Lines to Get Abortions

The rank and file of the so-called pro-life movement is full of people who need reproductive care—even if it means literally leaving a protest outside a clinic to ask for it.

@benroyce @lovelylovely it's because for them it's a special situation, a unique tragedy that makes it ok, while they can't understand that this might be the same for other people.
It's the same mechanism that makes people take care of a subject as soon as they or someone close to them are affected.
It's a general failure of empathy. Somehow a part of the population never learned to empathize with humans outside their immediate social circle.
