There's a third option:
~ I think [am conditioned to believe] abortion-access is an abomination¹
Jerry Falwell discovered the single-issue voter in the 1970s, and was able to whip them up into a voting bloc to secure Reagan's victory in 1980.
¹ Except when I need an abortion, because there's nuance I can see.
I wouldn't even say he discovered them, I'd say he created them. Abortion was not an issue in America. Not until people like Falwell and his ilk conditioned them to be single issue voters on it. Protestants didn't care about abortion. Catholics did a bit, but Evangelical christians? Wasn't on their radar really.
I mean if it wasn't so fucking evil it would be impressive. The way these people completely altered the culture of a Nation. It's diabolical. It's also astounding. Never for the common good though is it? Nope.
