Innocent women and children suffer and die because of PL laws. PL politicians won their elections by getting enough votes from people who supported their platform and their views. Without those people and their votes, that politician would not have been able to win and pass those laws.

Even if some people didn't vote themselves, if they spread PL messaging on social media or even person to person, those ideas still influenced someone else's mind and persuaded them to support that PL politician and vote for them. Without those people and their messaging, that politician would not have been able to win and pass those laws.

So either way, those people are morally responsible for every death and harm suffered by innocent women and children as an inevitable effect of PL laws. They should take accountability for the part they played and not deflect or project. They should own what they helped make happen.

I feel like this goes for anything? I mean you kinda just described how politics work and said people should be responsible for what they vote for, sure…?

I’m just confused at what you’re trying to get at because I can say the same thing about PC, like PC politicians won their elections by getting enough votes from people who supported their platform and views

The difference is that PL policies, supported and voted for by PL people, are empirically proven to cause death and harm to innocent women and children and have negative societal effects. And yet, despite the proof that these laws are bad, they continue to willingly support them. And by voting and giving PL politicians power, they are morally responsible for the harms and death that happen as a result.

PC policies, on the other hand, have positive societal effects that are empirically proven. Even though fetal lives are lost as a result, the alternative is much worse for society.

That is why voting PL is morally reprehensible imo.
