  • They feel like it’s wrong so it needs to be illegal.

    They believe it to be immoral, so they want it to be illegal, yes. Is that not how people usually decide what should be legal and what shouldn’t?

    Also, it seems disingenuous to say that

    No amount of death or suffering of real live people is as important as their idea of a person.

    I would say one can be opposed to abortions, and still care about other people. Clearly.

    The state already regulates which practices may or may not be performed by doctors. This is hardly different.


  • I would say people with principled political views are in the minority, whether they are on the left or on the right. Most people just parrot what everyone else and the politicians say. People don’t like to think about these matters too deeply and vague emotions can be used(by politicians) in many ways.

    In any case, which extreme positions are you referring to specifically? Or rather, which positions are extreme and integral to their programme?





  • Why would they not support him? A sizeable portion of their base love the guy. He has a lot of power.

    And why would the situation not change if a more sensible person assumed leadership of the party? Things can change rather quickly, and if his term goes badly I doubt the conservative establishment will appreciate another idiot nominee with a god complex.

    The democrats nominated a barely functioning senile man that can’t string a sentence together for president twice. That does not mean that every single nominee that comes after is going to have dementia, does it?
