Do you genuinely believe that conservative christians right now are on the offensive, and LGBT groups are on the defensive?
- sofixa 5y ago> Do you genuinely believe that conservative christians right now are on the offensive I'm not American so i might be mistaken, but can the recent changes in abortion laws across a section of US states be explained in any other way?
- rayiner 5y agoYes—Roe protects abortion through the end of the second trimester, which is out of sync with what 70% of the public believes: https://www.npr.org/2019/06/07/730183531/poll-majority-want-to-keep-abortion-legal-but-they-also-want-restrictions https://www.npr.org/2019/06/07/730183531/poll-majority-want-... Mississippi’s 15-week ban, for example, would make the timing there somewhat more liberal than France or Denmark. It would also be consistent with the 70% of the public that thinks abortion should be legal, but only in the first trimester. Conservatives are very much in a defensive crouch on Roe.
- detaro 5y agoYes? Look at the various anti-trans laws or rules being passed, that's very much a fundamental defensive fight for LGBT. Some big companies making nice statements doesn't buy you very much if your healthcare gets killed.
- KerrAvon 5y agoDo you genuinely believe the opposite? Just because more LGBT people are visible now doesn’t mean they’re winning some kind of fictional PR war.
