In the Us? Nope. The two demographic groups with the highest religiosity rates also have the highest abortion rates.
No one is targeted for abortion.

Individual women choose who is aborted.

You can keep ignoring the fact that the anti-abortion movement began and largely continues with the Religious Right/evangelicals. It has EVERYTHING to do with separation of church and state.

High religiosity has nothing to do with it as not all religious people believe the same thing. Not all believe in forcing religion via government.

Laws restricting abortion have everything to do with the religious right.

Ah... I see what's going on in TX and why some are so hell-bent on keeping it that way.

TX: percent of female population 15 to 44 years of age vs. percentage of abortions

White: 43% vs. 27%
Hispanic: 36% vs. 37%
Black: 13% vs. 30%

Source: TX HHS https://www.hhs.texas.gov/sites/defa...-residents.pdf

Anyone notice what's going on there? An attempt at race-based genocide. Whites are underrepresented, Hispanics are close to equal representation, but Black babies are killed at highly disproportionate rates.

As well as people who want others to live their values. No room for disagreement.

Pro choice just means they support the legal right to abortion. It doesn’t always mean they agree with abortion. That poster might really be pro choice even with their personal view on abortion.

You might look beyond your nose to understand why women abort.

You might want to look beyond your nose and recognize a race-based genocide when you see one.

I absolutely am, I don't want those pieces of garbage who would commit homicide out of convenience in the gene pool. Their disgraceful actions are beneficial to society and help lower crime rates by not polluting future generations with their genes.

Just because I call them out for being terrible people doesn't mean I want to make those actions illegal.

With all the talk about victims rights, it’s about time children’s (developing human’s) rights are considered and the genocide based on age discrimination stops.
