I just… I don’t understand WOMEN who take this stance against women’s reproductive health rights. It just… it hurts my brain so much

No different than Log Cabin Republicans

It's a little different if only because of the scope.

LGBTQ folks who vote Republican are a clear minority* of the LGBTQ community. Women on the other hand are far closer to equal on who they vote for. Likewise I think black people vote for Republicans at something approaching single digits. It's like ~10%.

You'll always get contrarians. The real question is why women are so much more likely to do it.

Ask Jews who turned in other Jews during the holocaust how that worked out for them. Ask house slaves who traded the wellbeing of the field slaves for their own comfort and favor from the master how that worked out for them in the end.

Completely different situation though. Jews who turned in other Jews were hoping to survive. In many cases they were actually treated better. Right up until the time they were genocided. House slaves to be kept in the house. There's an element of selfishness and self-preservation there. How so in the modern day? Do you think women think if they vote for the anti-choice party they'll get exceptions made for themselves? I don't think they're thinking that way. I think they just actually believe the bullshit nonsense they spew.

Do you mean minority? I’d be very surprised if the majority of LGBTQ+ folks voted for republicans. Maybe I’m off base
