WTAF. Why are there so many idiots like this? You don't like abortion, don't fucking have one. And if you are male...it's not your concern.
A person I used to consider a friend told me that Donald Trump was sent by God to end abortion. When I brought up several bible verses that directly condemn what Donald Trump has done he told me they were out of context.
No longer speak to him.
This is the only area I DO get. I don't agree with it, but I can understand where they're coming from. If you believe a fetus is a person, it makes total sense to vote against murder. And we aren't going to win anyone over by framing it as just an issue for women. If it's even possible to change someone's mind on the topic it would be through education, not telling them that their opinion on murder doesn't matter.
By the definition of "murder" it's only murder where it's illegal.
It just makes zero sense to be a single-issue voter like this, though. And I don't really think most of them give two fucks about the fetus; for many of them it's about control.
For many of them it's about being accepted by the community. They dont question their beliefs because that'd put them in the out group.
