I’ll never understand why they are more opposed to abortions for minors, who definitely didn’t consent to sex and are more likely to be harmed by the pregnancy in so many ways.
You know exactly why.
So I do believe there is a significant and even growing misogynist/ child-bride/patriarchal-women-as-breeders-every-man-deserves-at-least-one element among Republican policy makers. But, I think the majority of Republican voters aren’t looking at the specific intent of these bills and simply think it will never happen to their daughter because fill in the blank superiority complex, and that’s what really pisses me off. Evidence of a well-fortified barrier to empathy.
Do I? They can’t all be pedos, can they?
They wouldn’t use that word, no.
They don’t believe there is such a thing as not consenting to sex if you’re female.
