The Republican response should have always been along the lines of, “Our country decided to legalize abortion in 1973 with Roe v. Wade; my personal beliefs have no bearing on this. But if you look at (then continue with negative attack against other guy on a tangential issue)”
I may be wrong on this, but where are the female politicians calling for an end to abortion? I know there are a few out there, but most of the time it seems to be the men who are in front of the camera or at the podium. On the left, the women are always hollering about the “right to choose”
I really hate to say this, but young women today don't have a choice women a generation or so had, and that's the right to say "No" to premarital sex. These days, with few exceptions, a woman either gets dumped for refusing premarital sex, or else she agrees with her boyfriend to have sex while they're "dating" in the hopes that the sexual relationship will eventually lead to courtship and marriage.
So, these women are hollering about "the right to choose" (contraception, abortion) because they no longer have the original choice of saying "No" and still being able to get married.
Women these days -- especially young women -- have no idea how truly enslaved they are.
Yes, that is a very good point. I can’t think of many visible pro-life women politicans. I’m not even certain that there are any.
It does seem to be men only, are almost all men...and they are arguing for women to give up a right already granted them, which seems like a difficult sell. It’s the old how do you close Pandora’s box once it has been opened, or how do you put toothpaste back in the tube.
It is almost like men arguing that women should give up their right to vote, which is not going to happen. I don’t believe it’s a winnable argument at this point, especially not when the other party is just waiting to demagogue the *** out of it as soon as it is even mentioned.
