Interesting video from The Guardian today on how abortion became the firebrand political issue that it is
At the end of the day, it’s about power and money and engaging one of America’s biggest demographics in what they believe is a self righteous moral crusade because it gets them to vote religiously, but what is in the end inserting the government directly into the doctors office and is extremely detrimental to the health and well being of women and girls.
In this case, the RW's obsession w/abortion, which it NEVER exhibited before the 1970s, is steeped from head to toe in racism.
