This issue creates some strange political bedfellows; hardcore midwestern conservatives and disconcerted coastal liberals see the sharing-economy of sex and agree that it's exploitative and bad for women.
- 71a54xd 4y agoI think we're slowly entering a new era of intellectual / practical honesty as a result of so much division and political grandstanding. Nuanced opinion is important - not changing what you think to fit into a cookie cutter thought group is how we understand what we really want, what progress is and who to exclude as irate grifters (on both sides of the isle). The issue of abortion also shows similar political bedfellows - even deep red states where Trump won by 20+ points during the 2016 election have vehemently upheld access to abortion.
- mbg721 4y agoThe abortion issue is especially weird to me, because I'm heavily emotionally invested in the Catholic extreme worldview while conservatives as a whole are not.

They clearly knew it was the best course of action to reduce emotional harm, a potential bad life for the child and cover for peers who would religiously shame them (ironic - I know).
