Abortion rights activists were unhappy with the president’s comments, as millions of people are being denied access to abortion care in nearly half the country.

    It’s not a huge deal but why preface it though? All you have to say is ā€œRoe vs Wade was the correct decision and a woman has the right to chooseā€

    I’m ā€œbig on abortionā€ because it’s a human right and I like human rights. And it doesn’t really matter if a cis man is ā€œbig on abortionā€ because these laws will never affect him and his body. He’s just trying to appeal to Christians because Christians control so much of this country 🤮

      I’m pro-choice but I’ve heard this and many similar things said and it’s such a ridiculous thing to say.

      ā€œIt doesn’t really matter what you think about inhumane treatment for XYZ medical condition because you’re not a doctor and you don’t have that conditionā€

      ā€œIt doesn’t matter what you think about banning this important subset of knowledge in K-12 education because you’ve already aged outā€

      Believe it or not, things can affect you even if they’re not directly happening to you. People don’t exist in a vacuum.

      Disregarding someone’s opinion has never once changed someone’s opinion.
