I think you give pro choice and religious nuts too much credit.

I would imagine that behind closed doors, men in positions of power have had conversations about the potential recruits the military is losing with easy access to abortion, but I agree with you.

For the most part there is no grand conspiracy, just passionate nuts who believe they’re going to live forever who found a shortcut to what they imagine is God’s approval. Like that nut who climbs buildings to raise awareness or whatever it is he’s doing. They believe when they die, they’ll wake up on a cloud and hear “Jesus Loves the Little Children” playing in the background. Their lord will walk up to them and embrace them, tell them what a good job they did shouting about saving babies as he pets their hair.

I grew up in that world. So glad I don’t still live in it.

If you're still believing they're religiously motivated you're exactly where they want you.

The idiots who vote are religiously motivated. The ones with power want cheap labor.
