But it’s not about actually saving lives or preventing abortions, it’s about punishing people for being people.
I disagree with you on this opinion. I don’t remember anyone ever saying it was being done to punish people for being people. If I’m wrong, please direct me to who said it and where so that I may correct myself.
Of course it’s not explicitly stated because that would look awful. No party is going to come out and say “we’re doing this to be mean” because that’s fucking stupid.
But realistically, it’s either that or they’re more dense than osmium because the way they’re going about it (cut funding and preach abstinence-only) is not only unrealistic and entirely out of touch with reality, but incredibly stupid.
Nobody goes out to have an abortion because it’s a rip-roarin’ good time. People do it because they have no other option. You give them options before it comes to that and the worst-case scenario will decline.
#1. I never said abortion is a rip-roaring good time.
#2. Even when all options are on the table it is never guaranteed that it reaches all the same people that need options.
#3. I didn’t see anything about an “abstinence only” policy anywhere. I also never suggested it.
I don’t know why you’re making this into a person attack, because it isn’t. I’m talking about why the policy is bad and why the current administration is wrong.
