[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Characterizing women who are anti-abortion as "Aunt Lydias" is not exactly going to win hearts and minds. My mother is anti-abortion and her beliefs are sincere. A lot of it is ignorance about what it actually means in practice to make abortion illegal.[/quote]

With due respect to your mother, participating in the reproductive oppression of other women is very correctly characterized as Aunt Lydia. If that upsets her she needs to consider whether the shoe might fit, not wring her hands about how her feelings are hurt. [/quote]

No one has really explained to these women how their “sincere” beliefs are used to keep women in poverty and miserable. I don’t know that the adult daughter of a forced birther has tried or if her mother is one of the maga-level people who is completely unable to be reasoned with, but OH MY GOD at what point can we begin leveling with forced birthers? Why do we have to pretend along with them that their beliefs are legitimate? There were slave owners who felt their beliefs that they were entitled to someone else’s life were just and sincere and legitimate too. [/quote]
