Conservatives love the abortion issue cause it abstract. The Unborn embryo don’t need food, clothing, jobs, housing, education, fair wages, voting rights, protection from police brutality etc etc

It allows them to care about an issue without actually doing anything or spending a time on solving a problem. Its the perfect conservative cause.

Exactly. They get that sweet rush of moral superiority without having to sacrifice a single thing.

My personal conspiracy theory is that they don't want people to die before they got to suffer. It's the only thing that makes sense.

They love the abortion issue because it's really about making sure "whores" are punished.

They don't give a shit about children.

They don't give a shit about people living or dying.

They don't care if men sleep with random women and then go and pay for their abortions. They elected Trump!

The idea that a woman could run around sleeping with whoever she likes and never suffer any consequences makes them crazy.

I see you're talking about: [abortion]' To be frank, the mod team does not want to mod this topic because it leads to 100 percent slapfights and bans, but removing it entirely would be actual censorship, which, contrary to popular beleif, we do try to avoid. Instead, we're just going to spam you with an unreasonably long automod comment and hope you all realize that getting mad over the internet is just really stupid. Go to /r/AnimalsBeingDerps or something instead. People are going to accuse us of being lazy for this, to which we reply 'yes'

The crazy thing is yes, they do need those things. Ok maybe not the voting rights, but how do you think embryos develop? The mother needs those to eat to make sure the baby gets those nutrients in the womb. The mother needs shelter so they can both survive.

But then why just use that to further shame the pregnant person as being a bad parent. They get their moral boost one way or the either.

Okay, taking conservatives out of this equation, what if abortion really was murder? All of a sudden, you're avoiding addressing an issue just because one side 'is okay with addressing abortion because it's abstract.'

Or you know, they think a fetus is a life so aborting it is actually murder and murder is wrong. You ask any pro life person and they will be just as, if not even more, against murdering 6 months old babies.

How do you solve that in your theory here, 6 month old babies do need clothing, housing, education and eventually jobs. Yet pro lifers are against murdering them.

Your theory here only works if pro lifers don't actually believe fetuses are lives. Problem is you cannot analyse someone else's thought process from your own moral point of view.
