They also want to fill their religious adoption agencies with unwanted babies. They are LEGALLY ALLOWED to discriminate against non Christian families. I believe a Jewish family sued over it a few years ago, but I don’t remember the outcome.
Those adoption agencies work closely with so called 'crisis pregnancy centers."
People are leaving churches and they need to fill them up by getting a monopoly on adoption and adopting out to only white Christian families. It’s disgusting honestly.
I am a supporter of access to abortion. I want to get that out of the way before going into the reasons why making access to abortion a central campaign issue is a bad idea.
Yes, most people support the right to choose. But how many people base 100% of their vote on keeping abortion legal? As a ballot initiative, access to abortion does well. As a central issue for a candidacy, it’s poison because the reality is pro-choice single-issue voters don’t exist.
Pro-life voters are by far the most powerful single-issue voting block in America. Millions of would-be Democrats who truly, honestly believe abortion is murdering babies put aside everything else to try and stop it. It’s how the Republicans can get away with having policies that are so harmful to children after they’re born. No other issue exists as long as abortion is on the menu.
How many current Harris supporters would vote for Trump if their positions on abortion were swapped? Millions of Trump voters would swap.
The GOP was actually a little terrified of Roe being overturned because nothing saps political steam like achieving a goal. Lots of voters in states that now restrict abortion who spent 50 years voting to try and get Roe overturned suddenly felt the freedom to vote on other issues. But with so much Democratic effort being focused on restoring abortion rights, those voters are locked back in as solid GOP votes. The better political move for the Dems would be to essentially ignore the issue on the campaign trail and try to get a ballot initiate through. It would protect the right to choose while simultaneously neutralizing the GOP’s strongest hand.

They just want to restrict access to reproductive healthcare for poor people and minorities. It’s never about “saving babies”.
Yeah, they feel they can go somewhere else but want as many minorities in their communities as possible
Wait…did they think their position through?
