[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stunned? No.  Backlash against freedoms and opportunities has been building ever since those freedoms were supposedly “won”.  
Only complacent people who thought that the proverbial “leopard” would never eat THEIR own faces are likely to be stunned by any of this. [/quote]
I don’t think this is a leopard thing so much as it’s people who just didn’t understand that rights could be eroded.

Of course people had been trying to tell them and some of them did vote for their rights to be eroded, but lots of people just didn’t grasp how regressive Republicans are. [/quote]

I just think a lot of people don’t think through the actual details of how such laws will be implemented.

“Oh, it says there’s an exception for life of the mother!” And that’s the extent of their thought process. Not…and how is that decided? Who decides? How long does it take? What is the process? It’s like they honestly think a woman can say “It’s to save my life!”and there will be no questions asked. People are awful, really awful at critical thinking. [/quote]

To be fair, if you've never been pregnant or are not a medical professional, you have no idea how these things will go down. [/quote]

But at least have the self-awareness to say, “I don’t know how these things go down. Others do and can probably make a more informed decision than me.” But they don’t. [/quote]
