You notice the new trend of conservatives being like "I'm pro-life but I think everyone should choose for themselves?"

There is always a gap between the theory and practice of most people's politics though.

The centre-left supports the actual (corporate liberal) centre-right because its 'electable' and social democrats have low expectations.

Libertarians support the war on Gaza because of reasons.

People who think they are pro-free speech defend bigotry but ignore actual political censorship.

The list goes on

@samueltyler2 Oh, [b]trust[/b] me, they’re not tired of [b]being[/b] racists. But they sure don’t want to be called on it.

@samueltyler2 POSIWID

@GlitterEater I just looked that up and it is awesome!

I feel like there is another name for that...."pro-choosing" maybe? "Pro-decision?" It's on the tip of my tongue.

@GlitterEater they can't possibly use [i]that[/i] term though, so they'll have to find a conservative spin on it ... like pro-liberty or something

and considering they've never actually been pro-[i]life[/i], only pro-[i]birth[/i], that will still be in keeping with their previous mantra, i.e., it will still be rugged individualism, not *gasp* socialism, [i]after[/i] you're born ... socialism is only for the wealthy, corporations, and churches

@BlueGreenGrey actually they would be better termed as anti-abortion. Pro Life should encourage support for children, not restriction of Medicaid, not opposed to supplemental food.

Honestly, I'll take it.

If they [b]truly[/b] believe that, they’re actually pro-choice, so there’s no problem. A lot of women who wouldn’t choose abortion for themselves still believe in it being an available choice for other women.

Desperate for votes so they lose their previously held principles

That's a democrat 😂

@iamonfire696 The ones who can afford that are a minority within the electorate. They need the votes of the (many) poor ones too. It's those that they're losing.

iamonfire696 · 41-45, F

@Elessar the poor ones are too unintelligent to understand what they are actually voting for and that is sad.

I’m still waiting for that second half, which would mean these new draconian anti-abortion laws wouldn’t keep popping up.
