CBS host Margaret Brennan appeared surprised by the results of a CBS poll showing a majority of registered voters supported deporting all illegal immigrants.
That is one area I diverge with the party. Abortion should be legal. Based on the voting, most republicans agree it should be legal. Based on polls, they don’t.
Can they survive outside the womb? If the answer is no, they’re parasites, not human beings.
Sounds heartless but when it comes to the wellbeing of the mother or a parasitic clump that does not yet think or feel, the priority of care should be on the mother. Especially when her life is in danger or she cannot guarantee a good life for the child.

@wintermute_oregon @ryathal Banning abortion beyond the first trimester is popular IIRC
I view body autonomy as a right. Nothing is more sacred than choosing what’s best for you
@wintermute_oregon So you’re an anarchist?
Not at all but one of the most basic rights to control of your own body.
@wintermute_oregon My problem is when you use your own body to harm another body, like a 6 year old child, or a fetus
And there lies the actual problem. Is a fetus a person or not?
@Blamemeta Yes. A person is a living human being. Fetuses count.

You may disagree, I don’t care.
Six year old children are never aborted. A fetus is just a lump of cells. Either people have body autonomy or they don’t.
@wintermute_oregon We’re all a lump of cells. Doesn’t mean that you or I should be killed.
A fetus isn’t a person. Equating the time is ignoring a fetus can’t survive outside the womb.
I don’t want anyone telling me what I can and can’t do with my body. As such I respect the rights of others to do as they please.
