[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The more people said “abortion isn’t a motivating issue”, and “inflation is the biggest issue for voters”… as if having kids has nothing to do with your finances. I just felt more and more insulted.
I can’t have been the only one.

Inflation was the biggest issue— for old white male voters. Political pundits, on both sides is the aisle, are a bunch of older white guys talking to one another.  People see the world through their own lens.

[b]Every woman in the country who has ever been pregnant had to imagine themselves dying in an emergency room while some lawyers decided whether the doctor was allowed to save their life. Leaving their existing children motherless, their parents childless, their spouses widowed. A vanishingly small number of those women thought “but at least the gas for my hearse might be fractionally cheaper[/b]”.[/quote]

My anti-abortion mother, who fell for the whole “dems want abortion legal up until birth” nonsense spouted by Republicans over the last few years, started singing a different tune when I reminded her of my lifesaving (and fertility-preserving, thankfully) medical abortion due to ectopic pregnancy and her own experience with incomplete miscarriage and infection when I was a young child.  She never thought through the fact that overturning RvW would put lives at risk.  [/quote]
