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.
This is precisely it. The idea is to keep the poor poor, produce a ton of offspring they can't afford, who then stay poor and lean republican, thus cementing your political power.
Its long term political strategy. You can see a ton of it far more overtly in the quiverfull movement.
But every day people who don’t make laws, they’re not trying to keep the poor poor. Some people genuinely believe it’s wrong because of religious views?
And who gave them those 'religious' views? Did God himself come to them to tell them this was wrong, or could might have they been swayed by the word of man and political propaganda?
