I'm with you here. Besides it being a matter of the majority tyrannizing a tiny minority (same with same-sex marriage), while I can see how people can feel strongly about it, I'm surprised they really feel it is so important that it should trump issues affecting their own daily lives like economy, health care and the environment.
- yummyfajitas 18y agoYou are surprised probably because you either do not understand their position or do not believe they honestly hold that view. Abortion opponents tend to believe unborn babies are living humans. This implies abortion is the murder of a baby. Hence, legalized abortion is enabling the murder of millions, i.e. genocide. Is it really surprising that people consider genocide here in America to be a larger issue than the economy? Note: I'm not going to argue this idea one way or the other, no one will change their mind. Just pointing out that if you understand the logic of abortion opponents, a fanatical opposition to abortion is quite understandable.
- jdavid 18y agoits surprising that people continually choose arguments that are mono cultural. its a big world out there and societies have existed for millennia in a number of ways. its just hard to fathom that in a country that honors the freedom of religion, that we still do not get poly culturalism.
