@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 Yes, this seems cpmmon. I know an antiabortionist evangelical family who nonetheless helped their ~19 y.o. child get an abortion

There are always "special circumstances"

"rules for thee but not for me"

and this makes perfect sense to them

all you have to do is understand what "rules" means to a #conservative:

rules are meant to control the other class, race, gender, sexuality, religion, etc. that is all rules are for

rules do not bind them in their eyes

this is the foundation of the conservative worldview and sense of "morality"
