re: #175 Dangerman

it doesn’t seem possible, and yet it is: too many vote based on immediacy and misplaced anger

People are inherently self-centered. To many, THEIR rights aren’t under attack; most white women aren’t thinking, “Oh, I may some day need to get an abortion.” They’re not planning on getting pregnant, or they’re married and are secure in the knowledge that a baby will be well cared for, or they don’t think that getting pregnant is a risky endeavor and can end badly in many ways, some of which can be fatal to the woman as well as the fetus. The only thing they’re thinking is, “Abortion is an abstract concept to me because I personally foresee no situation in which I might require one, therefore my biggest concern is gas prices.”
