[b]I'm still waiting for a pro-life person to explain why NY's law about abortion being ok if the mother's health is at risk or the fetus is not viable is so much worse than WV, AK, MS abortion law that allows for full term abortions even when the mother's life is not at risk[/b].  No prolifer has addressed my numerous post about this. Why is that?[/quote]
Still waiting for prolifers to address this question.  If you can't.. then just shut it about it NY.  You don't have a leg to stand on here.[/quote]

As of Dec. 2018, this was the breakdown of registered voters in WV:

D - 41.66%
R - 32.52%
Mountain (Green) - .18% 
Libertarians - .53%
no party - 22.25% 
other - 2.85%

Ds outnumber Rs.  The Green party believes in a woman's right to choose (even supporting free abortions for women living in poverty), and Libertarians don't believe in governmental interference.    "No party" can shift either way, I assume.  However, nationally, more Ds than Rs shifted to "no party."  So we may be able to safely say that "no party," in this case, supported the new abortion procedures.

Perhaps many in WV view themselves as fiscally conservative but socially liberal . . .

But that doesn't answer the question as to why OP and these other prolifers think NY's law as its stated is so much worse than WV's law that allows for full term abortions without the mother's life being at risk.

It does, however, answer the question as to whether more people think abortion should be legal vs not.[/quote]

I don't think many bothered to look at comparisons. There's an entire chart showing which states offer which "levels" of abortions (for lack of better wording).  If people looked at the breakdown of these states, I think they'd find pockets of people in the middle who would sway in favor of such measures. That would give "anti-NY" posters something to think about in terms of creating false generalizations.

So while a state may be "red," there are different levels of red. As mentioned above, I can be a fiscal conservative but my social beliefs are liberal, which means I will vote in favor of these measures.

I personally don't think people fit into one category, but this country is so f-ing crazy that we've divided along party lines to the point of imploding.[/quote]
