False dichotomy.

What if the woman decides a few minutes before birth that she’s lost interest and wants an abortion?

What if in the first couple of months it turns out the baby has no brain and is certain to die and the mother is certain to die unless she gets an abortion?

It’s a continuum. Please remember that for a lot of people who oppose abortion, both the morning after pill and even oral birth control pills are murder.

As a “center-right” American, I’d like to also remind you that you have almost certainly supported a series of Presidents who have killed over a million completely innocent people in countries that never offered the United States any harm whatsoever.

Thanks primarily to Republican Presidents and lawmakers, America has wasted $6 trillion on warfare just in the last twenty years, losing every single time — that’s over $18,000 per man, woman and child wasted on losing wars against people who weren’t America’s enemies in countries most Americans couldn’t even locate on a map.

It’s an astonishing crime, one that took trillions away from average Americans and funnelled it into the pockets of a tiny number of ultra-rich people through deliberate deception.

Given the barrage of lies, hatred that the rest of the world (I’m not a Democrat, nor even an American) has to constantly put up with from “right-wing Americans”, such individuals have absolutely no moral standing whatsoever to make making any statements about morality, ethics or rights.

You gave that up long ago when you gave up your basic humanity and compassion.
