Maybe you can answer this for me... Maybe you can't...
Why is it that the party thats so gung ho about undoing the New Deal and ripping away regs which protect people from being exposed to injury, cancer, etc... is so gung ho about "the unborn?" I'm a fan of inconsistency, and this boggles my mind. How can the GOP be Socially Darwinist on everything, and suddenly flaming idealist on abortion? I can't help but reach the conclusion that the party has a broader cultural agenda (rolling us back to the never existent 50s nuclear family), and that rolling back abortion and refusing to fund contraceptives for all is just one way of putting women back into their “traditional role” in that never-existent fantasy of the perfect nuclear family. No matter how the GOP justifies the inconsistency on these issues, its sounds disingenuous.
What do you think the GOP will do if Roe is overturned and we suddenly find a majority of states want to keep abortion legal within their borders? How will the GOP then placate its angry religious wing? And what will the Religious Wing then do? It won't be satsified with any result other than national outlawing of abortion, so whats its option? Does it then reject states' rights and fight for a constitutional amendment? And does the GOP support that quest?
This isn’t rhetorical. I’m truly interested in hearing what you think might happen then.
