I consider myself slightly in a conservative, Christian viewpoint camp. I say slightly because as I get past middle age, all those views or opinions have shifted.
I’m not a huge fan of abortion, but my opinion is slightly more nuanced and that’s not a topic I think will be fruitfully discussed online.
Button line, seeing things like this however make me slightly lose my fucking mind.
Insert huge rant here about hypocrisy and unreasonable people, laced with outrage and much profanity.
I know others in my circle who also feel similarly. My hope is that people might know even church going conservative people think this is fucking bullshit and that piece of shit attorney general need to go. Fuck him.
As a Christian myself I’ll leave it at this, if ANY of this was actually about reducing abortion than these people would be pushing for things like increased access and funding for proper Non-Abstinence based sex ed, universal housing, food stamps, mediaid, a higher minimum wage, and drastically increased parental leave, as these have all shown time and time again to have a far greater effect in reducing abortions than legislative bans.
Yet strangely the same people and politicians who claim to care about abortion as a major priority are more than happy to oppose the Church’s position on most if not all of these other matters.
I also think a long this line as well.
Depending on how people frame this, I’m not interested in hearing people say what others should not do, I’m only interested in hearing how they’re helping.
If a vocal opposer isn’t first offering education, support, food, care, or otherwise bettering someone’s circumstances, I don’t think they are helping. Feels more like judging, and I’m not interested.
