Why do we not even blink when they label anyone, as they are now, who may not agree with them on abortion, as "extreme?"
IT's a tactic straight from the old Communist Party handbook: smear the opponent.
There is no such thing as 'difference of opinion' with the left... anyone not in lock step with them - or any ideas that differ from theirs , is "extreme" "dangerous" etc.
Saying a thing makes it so in the sheeples minds. That's how the left gets away with their tripe -
Just once, I'd like to see a TV news-person or commentator call 'em on it. Just once say "Why is having a different take on something "extreme?" "Maybe your take on the subject is the "extreme?""
Why The Left Supports Roe ? because they have no respect for choice or for woman’s rights, that is the choice of the unborn and the right of the unborn woman to live so she should choose to do so.
The fact that they feel the need to "protect" Roe v Wade further testifies to how absurd the decision is.
If Roe were overturned. the pro-abortionists would lose support even in the pro-abort states. People do not approve of abortion on demand. They would vote for curbs on the practice. In certain locals, even in a place like California, abortion clincs would be forced to close. Something like local option would become the policy everywhere. So the pattern would be like prohibition BEFORE the 18th Amendment. On the other hand, the continued legality of abortion in some venues would continue to coarsen our views of natal life. The widespread practice of IVF, which applles the techniques of animal husbandy to human reproduction, has created a huge "warehouse" of extra embryos, simply because 1) they could not be destroyed and 2) almost no women want to be inpregnated by another's woman's children. Result: the commercialization of the products of human reproduction.
Here's my problem with the counter to the Roe argument--we should NOT start talking about our rights as limited to what the Constitution specifically states.
The 'reasoning' of Roe is correct, it's whether or not one agrees that the unborn are deserving of protection and whether or not states have the power to regulate surgical procedures or an individual's control over their body.
I think conservatives are waaaay too eager to jump onto that very narrow view of the Constitution. "there's no right to XYZ in there!" is a tyranny-supporting view, in my opinion.

Is it supposed to be some mystery why the left supports Roe? Follow the money and see why.
As Roe goes, so goes the RAT party.
Ergo, Roe is the single unifying cause on the left.
The biggest piece of misinformation out there on Roe V Wade..is that overturning it will make abortion illegal.
Seriously, we have to get the word out and explain that to be a falsehood. You wouldn't believe how many "moderates" on both sides think abortion will be illegal if Roe v Wade is overturned. Once I explain that some states will offer abortions others won't, no one seems to care about the issue.
