What a ridiculous take. 50+% of women in Alabama think abortion should be illegal in most cases. And Alabama was in the top 10 for percent inbound migration last year, meaning there are tens of thousands of women who made the choice to move to Alabama.
And you're saying all of them must be "not in their right mind".
- themadturk 2y agoHow many are moving there because their husbands are moving there and don't want divorces? 50%+ of them being in favor of restricting abortion means the rest don't like restricting abortion, but may not have the means to leave.

- threeseed 2y agoThat Pew Alabama poll you are likely referring to is absolutely ridiculous: https://www.pewresearch.org/religious-landscape-study/database/views-about-abortion/ https://www.pewresearch.org/religious-landscape-study/databa... There is a world of difference between (a) a 10 year old child being raped and needing an abortion, (b) woman who will die if she gives birth and (c) woman getting an abortion the day before the baby is due simply because she feels like it. And yet the poll lumps all of those together. Such a complex issue needs far more nuance.
