    No. This opens the door to laws that clearly apply based on on political affiliation. Do not open that door. It will eventually be used against you.

      I hate to tell you this but the door is basically open and there’s a loud mouth running for president and his cronies who’s trying to finish the job.

        you’d think so, but according to modern day society, you’d be wrong

        I agree that rights should be universal, and it’s something for which we should strive, but I disagree that it’s not a right unless it is universal. There’s plenty of awful examples throughout history of people who had certain rights while others did not.

    Or maybe people who are against abortion could simply choose not to have one. Ya know the way it was for like 50 years before Roe was overturned.

    Of course we know they just want to impose their values on other people. So people having the freedom to be able to make choices for themselves goes against their way of thinking.

      Not even just 50 years, remedies to cause an abortion or suppress menstrual cycles have been in use for hundreds of years. Just now reading about the history apparently Ben Franklin may have manufactured a public discourse on abortion because he knew it would help sell papers.

        I agree. I’m very confused as to how this would result in less Democrats?

        I was raised in heavyyyyy Conservative family, and the entire family, including the youngins’ now, all espouse those same beliefs. I veered hard Left only when I left home, traveled, and was exposed to people from other walks of life from my own.

        I feel like this would hurt the Republicans more than anyone, because while yes, more Democrats would obviously get abortions, a lot of Democratic women DO want children/family. They’d just like to stop after two children or whatever, not end up with like 8. So it’s not like they’d be choosing to have an abortion every single time they get preggers.

        And a lot of Republican women want the same thing: to have a child or two, but not 8.

        Both women I’m certain want the option for it if they’ve had particularly difficult/traumatic pregnancies and still want to be around for their current children.

            I do, I showed my husband and I was jokingly like “How dare Ann Coulter make a point that I agree with? 😂”.

            But moreover, I don’t think she’s making a rational point at all. I just don’t think the idea that this will result in less Dems either.

            That may be her “ultimate goal” or whatever, but I also think it would backfire on her magnificently.

            (And before anyone comes at me, I’m pro-choice 100% of the time, IRL)

decrease the number of Democrats and increase Republicans

      So you assume brain choices are inherited? They can be learned. But they aren’t hereditary. Plenty of people are related to people differing political opinions so I thought that would have been enough to be debunked as an assumption.

        You are right that you aren’t born with whatever politics, but they said that was her point, not that in practice it’s a direct thing. I’m sure it’s easier to instill Republican beliefs into someone born in a Republican family rather than Democrats or other political affiliations.

          I don’t know who you are arguing as if that wasn’t even mentioned.

    Wouldn’t work.Their end goal is to disenfranchise women entirely. They start by making choices about our bodies for us, they end up making every choice for us.

    They want control, power, not acceptance of their views for their own circle.

        i mean that assumes that Republicans are an ethnicity. any Democrat concerned about “race suicide” can just become a Republican. (of course this is actually dumb)

        i read that article, and the only concern in legalized abortion was the possibility of forced sterilization programs, and this is an incredibly unlikely event for the U.S. in this current time, as it would assume that certain ethnicities are not free to choose their party.

        even if that was eventually the plan, that kind of insanity would call for a pretty obviously needed revolution, even among many Republicans who have non-ethnic principles.

        what she said isn’t actually a good idea of course… but the point of the meme is that she is more or less saying the exact same thing as “people who choose to want abortions should be allowed to get abortions!” since being a Democrat or Republican is a choice. this is literally pro-choice in a cloak. lol

        i’m Canadian though so i have no fkin idea who Ann Coulter is (i thought this suggestion was a joke actually), but if she’s Republican, then this goes against the common Republican pro-life narrative, because she’s offering abortion as a choice to anyone at all, then this is effectively the pro-choice position.
