Frink, I appreciate how much you have shared here. But there is no talking about it constructively because you always get so offended.
I’m offended by Lindsay Graham, and specifically his equating this issue to all the other civil rights issues of the past. I don’t believe a woman should be able to get an abortion at 37 weeks just because she’s changed her mind.
But many liberals do believe that. And I see nothing wrong with the equating of civil rights. Conservatives want to preserve life and freedom, and as I pointed out, Republicans (who were still conservative, even if the party was different then) advocated to end slavery and give women universal suffrage. They see restricting abortion as preserving the child’s rights and freedoms. There is a comparison to be made, whether you care for it or not.
