    My wife was arguing with her father, who has 4 daughters, that his stance on abortion could get one of his daughters killed should she ever have an ectopic pregnancy or other medical complications from a pregnancy that needs to be terminated. His response was that if her or her sisters ever absolutely needed an abortion, he had the money to make sure they got one. He saw absolutely nothing of concern with that response or the fact that plenty of less well off fathers would lose their daughters that did not have his financial privilege. It drives me absolutely insane how selfish Consevatives can be. Truly, the older I get, the more it seems the difference between conservatives and leftists is that the former can’t/won’t/don’t care to see past the concerns of themselves and their immediate loved ones.

      He really just said “the only legal abortion is my abortion” out loud. I bet he also complains about his healthcare too, huh?
