[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Roe isn't going anywhere. The sky is not falling.

[b]Conservatives are pragmatists. They don't like abortion, so they tend not to have them.[/b] They also recognize the tremendous value in keeping the numbers of liberals in check that abortion provides.  Margaret Sanger knew what she was doing when she founded PP. [/quote]

True, they just pay off their mistresses and girlfriends to have them.[/quote]

Most of my conservative friends top desire is to make abortion illegal. What they do t realize it is the law will eventually affect their daughters who are dealing with difficult pregnancies or miscarriages, but won't affect rich Republicans who will fly their mistresses and daughters to places with abortion.

They also live in areas with lots of[b] poor people [/b]who will no longer be able to have abortions if their state goes in that direction. Resulting in [b]lots more welfare it lots more crime[/b]. Guess they will get their wish![/quote]

Is this what liberals think?  Poor = welfare = crime?  That's kind of harsh for a party that claims it's "progressive."[/quote]

Actually liberals have a fairly nuanced view of wealth and crime. We recognize that wealthy criminals like Donald Trump get away with white collar crime like bilking the nation of hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes owed.  Poverty, squalor, and the despair caused by hopeless circumstances of a life without opportunities increase the odds of illegal actions, and then poor people get tossed into jail at much higher rates than others, in part because they don't have the finances to pay for lawyers to avoid prison the way someone like Trump and his felon employees do.

Also poor (and black) people get harsher sentences for drug offenses than rich (white) people.  Look it up.[/quote]
