In the argument you call out, wasn't the republican side pushing the decision of abortion legality to state level, putting it more in the hands of the people?

Edit: should clarify, I'm unaffiliated, and just looking for answers.

It used to be up to the individual. The Republicans took it out of the hands of the people.

Yeah they pushed it for state level and when they realized most people even in Republican states didn't support the ban they went straight to trying to push it federally.

It's all a grift for the sake of control and power. Acting like it's anything less when the mask has been removed makes you complicit which is why I say fuck all republicans.

Is the Republicans platform not anti-abortion?

It is, and I don't know how anyone could disagree with you on that.

We bash the Confederacy for using "states rights" to try and justify slavery. We should bash Republicans for using the same tactics.
