That's really an oversimplification. They don't care what a woman does with her body, they care about the childs rights.

- Defletter 1y agoYou are presuming that they're only talking about abortion. Conservatives also get huffy when women are promiscuous, even if it's entirely safe.

- 9rx 1y ago> they are having a cow over it They are having fun with it, you mean. If it weren't an enjoyable activity to them, they'd drop the issue already.
- rsynnott 1y agoThe US right-wing obsession with abortion is a relatively modern phenomenon, and was fairly deliberately cultivated. In many countries it isn’t really a left-right thing at all (except maybe amongst the extreme far-right, but you’re really talking the fringes). It’s not because it’s fun; it’s because it has been a very effective wedge issue for them.
- 9rx 1y ago> It’s not because it’s fun; it’s because it has been a very effective wedge issue for them. It is fun, though. That's the whole point of a wedge issue. You invent some made up problem and then fight for it in an effort to feel the glory of superiority. It is effectively a sport.
