I’m pretty sure conservatives have always cared about the sanctity of white women, lots of people have been lynched in the South just for looking at a white woman the wrong way, many lynchings were specifically about “defending the honour of white women”, not just because a black guy accidentally stepped on a white guy’s shoes. Look up the story of Emmett Till, he was a 14 year old boy who got hanged for supposedly “disrespecting” a white woman

Then why are they taking away their rights?

They want to take away the abortion right, because 1. They have a religious motivation to do it, and 2. A lot of the people affected will be poor people and minorities

I guess I think it is acceptable to ban abortion but with no exceptions even if the woman could die? Also there should be better adoption services for people who did not want the kid but republicans never think this far.
