> you can't just slip that one in like it's some anodyne proposition that no reasonable person objects to. It's not that no reasonable person can oppose abortion (the objection doesn't even need to be religious in nature), it's that no reasonable person opposes abortion because it's infanticide and opposes all post-natal support policies which is the case in almost all the states that have banned abortion. Hell take a look at the list of states ranked by child mortality and abortion states lead the way by a mile. Welfare and education for mothers and their young children? Rejected. Food stamps? Fuck that. Now there's plenty of debate to be had about the effectiveness and fiscal efficiency of these policies, but anti-abortion states soundly reject the vast majority of them and leave mothers and their children to fend for themselves. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but we don't have to respect their opinions if they are nakedly hypocritical.
