Lol...that's hilarious.

Basically her job is to grind up some fresh chum weekly to draw in the faithful to grind their axes of righteousness using generalizations and divisive language.

It's a woke Church service of hate and who says the far right and far left have nothing in common?
They have more in common ironically than they do with moderate independents.

Exactly as I expected. The conservatives on here can't or won't address the issue. Instead, all of they have ro offer is the classic "b-b-b-b-but Democrats..."

It's like they know their party is **** right now so it's all they have.

We are both Catholic, yet don't have a big problem with abortion. My wife does not, as she feels she is not in a position to tell others how to live. I don't oppose abortion, as it means fewer liberals.

And spare me the hypocrisy when every single position the Dems take are nothing but hypocrisy.
It's illegal to kill babies.

Because politics in general has a way of playing the public like a Playstation 5 game or 90's Wrestling.

The masses are willing to start a civil war over politics while the elites in both parties laugh at us while privately breaking bread with each other.

Remember when Trump was supposed to indict his former friend Hillary Clinton and have her behind bars?

Remember when Obama claimed he was going to unify the country and get us out of war for good?

Remember when Ann Coulter was dating liberal Bill Maher?

Remember how every other "woke" non-White female politician decrying White supremacy had/has a White partner?

A lot of these "cultural" issues are just games meant to manipulate the masses on an emotional level due to the fact that society has become too dumbed down to strictly focus on federal spending, the economy, foreign policy, and checks and balances.

Most of this abortion stuff like other social issues is a red herring to keep the masses divided. If not abortion, politicians on both sides will find another social issue to divide people. Many of your political heroes are WWE wrestlers with suits and no masks on.

Because Republican men like loose women and liberal women are loose. Who in their right mind would then want liberals to procreate? ergo abortion.

There are you and your click-bait stereotype thread happy? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

It's akin to using "inflation remains low under 2%" from a 2018 article to proclaim that the Biden WH has successfully vanquished the dragon of their own making.

And it is an extreme mischaracterization to say, "Only a bunch of white men oppose abortion." Within the extremely general and non-nuanced arena of "should abortions be allowed" 35% of women say no, they should not. That nothing close to 0%, and not much different than men responding -- 41% say no abortion should not be allowed. Now asking on such general terms is a catch-all and does not really tell you what's going on.

Pretty much everyone is okay with abortion if the mother's life is in danger and there is no chance to save both mother and child. Support for abortion in the case of rape is extremely high. So just asking "should abortion be legal" is a pretty lousy question. Some people might answer that they support abortion with only extreme cases in mind. Others will say they oppose it, but are only answering the question with the 99% of abortions as after-the-fact birth control in mind, while being fine with abortion for extreme cases.

Support for legal abortion absolutely plummets when you second and third trimesters enter into the equation.

Gallup finds that 60 percent of Americans believe abortion generally should be legal during the first three months of pregnancy, known as the first trimester. That support drops by more than half, to 28 percent, once a pregnancy reaches the second trimester; it falls to 13 percent in the third trimester, at which point the fetus is often viable with medical support.

You have a poll that shows Republican men responding "make all abortions illegal"?
