We define who we are.
So yes, I am pro-life and pro-choice and not for abortion. The terms are not mutually exclusive. If you are serious about lowering the abortion rate you can be too. The Evangelical Party of Trump likes to think that they’re in charge of defining who we are. They aren’t.
We are.
Pro Life
President Elect Joe Biden is pro-life and pro-choice; that’s why I voted for him. The same holds true for Vice President Elect Kamala Harris and any Democratic candidate that is also pro-choice like Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff seeking the office of Senator in Georgia.
The BEST way to lower the rate of abortion is to vote for pro-choice candidates. They aren’t looking to punish vulnerable women by putting them in jail. Pro-choice administrations have succeeded in reducing the rate of abortion.
BTDT
Evangelicals and Republicans haven’t been able to punish abortion away. Doesn’t work like that. When and where abortion was and is made illegal women continue to get abortions. Making it illegal doesn’t change the ‘why’ women seek abortion. It just drives desperate women to seek even more desperate measures. Evangelicals along with Republicans are into punishment. They want to designate a few million women as being murderers and throw them in jail. Don’t think so? Then it isn’t the murder that they say they believe it is.
Those women aren’t murderers.
Make a real difference.
Interested in reducing the number of abortions? There are ways that are proven to succeed. Proven to reduce the number of women seeking abortion.
Ω Support affordable contraception.
Ω Support sex education.
Just those two items alone make a difference. Not even complicated. Unless you’re a Conservative or Evangelical. Naturally they oppose the simple measures that work. Just like they oppose wearing masks. We had basic sex education when I was in grade school. We needed it!
Ω Support reducing poverty.
A tough one.
Reducing poverty is a tough one. The 40 to 50 million people living in poverty haven’t seen much difference made in their lives regardless of what party controls government. It isn’t going to be quick and it isn’t going to be pretty. If you’re serious about reducing poverty and the need for abortions never vote for a Republican again. I was a Republican. I’m not any longer and I will leave the ballot blank before I will ever vote for a Republican again.
What can be done?
Ω Increase the minimum wage.
Ω Get people health care!
Ω Make higher education available to the poor and affordable to the middle class without crushing debt paid to banks!
Ω Multimillionaire Republicans think providing people food and shelter is asking too much! Take back the senate!
Vote for candidates like Warnock and Ossoff that will provide President Biden the support that he needs to….
Make America kind again
