Leaked Supreme Court Decision signals majority set to overturn Roe v. Wade

The thing is, the Christian fundamentalists in the U.S. weren't anti-abortion until they became highly political in the 80s.  And, most Catholics don't believe that an egg and sperm cell magically cause a soul to be created at the moment of conception, even though it is the official church position.

But, get political power involved, and it has become new religious dogma.

This is why I hate political parties, particularly in a duopoly.  A small number of extremists can hijack the entire system.  Almost everyone if fine with early-stage abortions, and is squeamish about late-stage abortions.  Instead we get "abortion is murder" and "any moment before 9-month live birth is a good time for an abortion".  These views do not match the views of most people, but these are the party positions.

This is absolutely true, prior to Jerry Fartwell and the "We Pretend To Be Patent Holders On Morality", conservatives were far more likely to argue that religion should stay out of politics. 

But the duopoly argument is misleading too. India has hundreds of political parties and they have a higher rate of poverty and pollution.

I do agree though, with wiggle room that the vast majority of Americans support keeping abortion legal. The only argument is context of time and the problem for me attacking privacy rights. It is a myth that pro choice advocates go door to door and smile and say, "Go screw and get knocked up so we can have a keg party over it." All we are arguing is that we do not live in a perfect world where every pregnancy will be healthy and every baby will be wanted, or put up for adoption.

This same party that wants to spy on a womb they don't own, are also the party that says "Fuck you, you're on your own", for both the baby and the female, once the baby is born.
