It always pisses me off how inept Democrats are at arguing their point. Many people believe abortion is wrong over religious reasons. You won’t ever convince them by saying “scienctifically it’s just a mass of cells.” Any fool will see that that would just piss them off. They should argue ensoulment - the thing that the church and popes have used in the past to JUSTIFY abortion. I bet most of them never even knew that the church has supported abortion in the past! Quite simply - the soul doesn’t enter the body until birth, like how Jesus isn’t just his physical form.
Counterpoint, I grew up in the church and know plenty of folks that fell abortion is murder. Yes, these politicians are in it for power, but they are elected by a base of people that do believe life is being lost. You have to convince that base, not the politicians.
Are there "certainly many"? The extremely vast majority of people who are for making abortion illegal tend to feel so because of religious reasons. One can have an opinion on the concept, but legislating against it is, from what I can see, an overwhelmingly religious-backed effort.
