Nov 2023

The author was writing about how some people who purport to support abortion rights plan to vote for trump 1) because economic issues are more important to them than social issues or 2) they are willfully ignorant of trump’s statements about abortion or 3) they don’t connect trump’s actions and the actions of the Supreme Court.

Seems to me that the author was providing much needed information about how some voters who are vaguely “pro-choice”, and also low information, plan to vote for trump.

We can’t assume that so-called “pro-choice” voters really care about the issue at the same level we do. This article is a reminder.
