(8,217 posts)I know it happens, and I am glad the possibility of it happening and that it is safe and legal is great. I am happy about that. What I was saying is that I would love for it not to have to happen. I know I did not quite phrase it that way, but it is definitely hard to phrase.
What it means is, that I would love to limit the factors that come to having that decision. Meaning, if they actually care about pre and post natal care a bit more, then people have more options. If they are secure and stable, and have the facilities to take care of children, perhaps more would be influenced to keep the child rather than having an abortion.
I can see your point in the framing of the language, however, please note that many could not get to that point, so you have to find points which they might actually understand. Because not all can get to that easily, so you have to mention the factors that put a person to that choice. Then explain how Republicans are actually the ones causing those factors to become worse.
That is the only way I was able to get someone to understand why Republicans are actually worse in regards to the issue of abortion rather than Democrats. I do try to work on the common ground, and I think about the factors that influence the choice. I am very happy there is a choice, and would never wish to limit that. I work on trying to make them understand why the people they are supporting is actually worse for their issue than those who are pro-choice.
I hope I clarified things a bit better.
